The Ballarat Wildlife Park has over 100 free-roaming kangaroos to hand feed!
For a truly unique experience, visitors can book a ‘meet the meerkats encounter,’ getting up close and personal with these curious and social animals.
Those looking to get in on the action can also book a ‘tree kangaroo encounter,’ and hand-feed this unique animal.
Other animal encounters provide an opportunity for a professional photo with a Ballarat Wildlife Park resident, such as a koala, wombat, tree kangaroo, snake, giant tortoise and even a tiger!
The koala and wombat encounters are ideal for visitors who want to get up close and personal with our iconic native wildlife.
Additionally, the park offers a ‘Junior Keeper Program’, where kids aged 6-15 can shadow a zookeeper and learn about the daily care and feeding of the animals (bookings required).
