Home to more than 200 species of Australian native animals and set amidst natural bushland the Healesville Sanctuary is the ideal place to observe our iconic wildlife up close. An enhancement to the visit is a Kangaroo Encounter where you have the opportunity with a keeper to feed and pat these adorable animals (if the animal allows). A Koala Encounter is also available but there’s no touching or feeding involved just an opportunity to get some amazing up close pictures. An additional fee applies for these encounters (currently AUD$20 per person per animal). Please advise if you wish to book this.
