Joey Encounter Experience in Cradle Mountain

The Joey Encounter tour takes you and a small group behind the scenes to the sanctuary's animal nursery, where you interact face to face with some of its youngest residents. It is a unique and memorable experience, ideal for families with young children or animal lovers of any age.

Operating at 12:00 (Oct-Apr) and 16:00 daily, the tour includes handling by the keepers, and you can pat and take photographs with these beautiful young ambassador animals.

Many of these hand-reared animals will remain at the sanctuary as species ambassadors and will become important breeding animals in the next year or two. By joining this tour, you directly support these animals and threatened species conservation.
