The interactions with the animals are unforgettable. I saw a Tasmanian Devil for the first time—she was so cute! I also got to pet a kangaroo, saw a wombat, and enjoyed observing other fascinating creatures. Near the entrance, there’s a nest where you can spot a wild possum hanging out—it was so funny and adorable. They offer daily free tours and optional paid interactions with the animals, which are absolutely worth it. What’s even better is that the sanctuary is self-funded, and every visit helps them continue their work. Plus, 50% of the proceeds from souvenirs go to other charities, which I love. This place is a must-visit for animal lovers and anyone looking to support a great cause!
This is definitely one of the MUST-VISIT in Tasmania! They have hundreds of kangaroos lazily lying on the grass but they get super excited when they see you come in with food! Get a bag of snacks at the ticket counter so that you can feed them! They are huge but lovely! Be that as it may, there are Tasmanian Devils and cute fatty bumb bumb - wombats in the sanctuary!
Really really nice place!! I had fun seeing Tasmanian animals like wombats, devils, echidnas etc for the first time! I love the advocacy of this sanctuary too! Definitely worth it and a must visit. Also, a lot of kangaroos around! Definitely surreal 😍
It's a small cute sanctuary, it probably is only about 40 minutes, but I think it's definitely worth visiting. You can be close to the animals, I mean the kangaroos were literally hanging out on the pathway chilling, so cool. My favs are Tamagotchi and Luigi, you'll know if you've been there
Great little sanctuary, love the concept of welcoming injured or endangered animals, taking care of them until they are ready to be released in the nature again. It's a lovely and thoughtful way to meet animals including the very much renowned Tasmanian Devil and heaaaaps for kangourous you can feed!
If you’re looking to find a place to quickly check out the native animals, this is the right place to go! Located around 25 minutes by car from cbd, you can spend around 1-2 hours here interacting with the animals. There are free roaming kangaroos, cute wombats, and the charming Tassie devils amongst other animals here
Great place to learn and be in close proximity to Tasmania's wildlife. Be there earlier for the guided tour to understand more about the animals and how the sanctuary works.
Amazing experience feeding the kangaroo up close and seeing all the native and non-native animals the sanctuary is nurturing and protecting!
