Healesville Sanctuary

Totally loved the place. Animals seems happy and in very good health. Staff is super friendly . This was the first time I ever saw a kangaroo

We spent 5 hours here, and still didn't get to see everything! Go early in the morning to book the experiences and also see all the free shows (most are in the morning)

This is probably the first zoo that I didn't find depressing. Great animal and environmental programmes in place here but also a genuine focus on indigenous culture and history.

Do the kangaroo experience. You get to feed them. Also you can get super close to koalas ????

Really is a sanctuary. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area. The bird exhibit & talk is great!

Birds of prey show is worth scheduling for. Spend some time with the wombat. It's pretty touristy but fun if you're out there for the wineries .

Bird of prey show is very good. Not as many animals as zoo in sydney, but all well kept and nice atmosphere :)

Great sanctuary! Perfect for family day out. Don't forget to use sunblock during summer ????

A place that you must visit... try to go early before the school children bombarded the place because if the children go in before you do, all the animals hide out so you see lesser.

Try the guided tours (small groups) as it is well worth the cost and the extra access you get

Absolutely pay to feed the kangaroos. It's worth every dollar and such an awesome experience for non-aussies

Amazing day out with the family. Bird show was lots of fun. Platypus show was amazing but crowded .

Wonderfully designed space to learn about local Australian wildlife .

This is one of the best zoos I've visited.

Excellent day trip . The platypus and bird shows are well worth attending.

Platypus show was great. Consider the take home messages seriously. Plus, $12 for a close encounter with a type of animal.

The Bird of Prey show was amazing. Definitely worth scheduling time to see.

Beautiful sanctuary and the staff are great! I would recommend a visit.

Love it..... The bird walk through is awesome my boy got the bower bird.

Best place to show tourists some Aussie wildlife - bird show worth seeing

Birds of Prey show at noon and 230pm is a must! Operating and Post Mortum rooms are interesting if you can stomach it.

Make sure to attend the birds of pray show, really amazing

All australien kind of animals, good connections to vinaries, good for 1 day trip

Love the variety of birds and the birds show too!

Nice zoo ! Spacious and good fun!

Arrive early and the animals will be more active. Also you'll beat the crowds.

Go to Healesville Sanctuary. Plan your visit to include Birds of Prey show at noon or 2.30pm. Take the time to visit the Rakali (native water rats ) in the enclosure next door to the platypus. Read more
