πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families who want genuine, close-contact wildlife interaction rather than a behind-the-glass zoo experience. The animal shows are essential - plan your day around the schedule rather than wandering freely.

⏰All close-contact encounters including dingo feeding and snake handling are included in admission

β€œMy friend and I visited Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary yesterday and had such a fantastic time! The park is absolutely beautiful, with peaceful walking paths and so much nature all around. We especially loved the different activities - they made the visit really special and there was always something interesting to see or do. It’s a wonderful place to experience Australian wildlife in a relaxed and natural setting. Highly recommend visiting - we’ll definitely be back!”

β€œHidden gem. Such beautiful surrounds. We were there on a super busy day but all the staff took the time to chat and share their knowledge about the animals. A relaxing stroll spotting the different wildlife was such a lovely way to spend the day.”
