How you can help wildlife

When you buy an animal encounter, you help support our conservation programs 

Tasmanian Devil Day, initiated by the park, is held each year and donations have gone to the University of Tasmania and towards the upkeep of the devils here at the park.

Our Branching Out for Koalas progam has allocated over 3000 gum trees for planting. Both habitat trees for koala populations in the wild and feed trees for our koalas on plantation property and here at the park. You can purchase trees to help koalas!

Animal Sponsorship is a great way to support our animals and conservation efforts.

You can help. Sponsor an Animal today.

Cassowaries

Cassowaries (Casuarius sp.) are native to the tropical forests of Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, and northeastern Australia.

Recent studies (Pangau-Adam et al., 2015) have found that cassowaries are intolerant of heavy forest disturbance and that forest degradation needs to be addressed in order to secure their populations.

Sumatran Tigers

In 100 years, 97% of all Sumatran tigers (Panthera tigris sumatrae) have been lost. They are victims of illegal hunting and human-wildlife conflict, but habitat degradation is the main threat to their survival.

From 1990 to 2010, Sumatra lost about 40% of its forests, mainly due to the expansion of oil palm plantations, which threatens the survival of this species with an estimate of under 400 individuals remaining in the wild.

Tree Kangaroos

Tree kangaroos (Dendrolagus sp.) live in lowland and mountainous rainforests in West Papua, Papua New Guinea, and the far north of Queensland, Australia.

Habitat loss for logging, timber production, or conversion to coffee, rice, or oil palm plantations have become the major threats to their survival.

"We had a wonderful morning at the zoo. It had great enclosures, clean and well kept. The gran children were able to get close to many of the animals and had no trouble spotting those that were in enclosures. The animals appeared to be very well kelt and many had a rapport with their keepers. The wombats even rolled over for tummy rubs, very cute. A wonderfull time was had by all."

Julie Muir

"It is a small interactive zoo. It is fun to feed the kangaroos by hand. The animal presentations are fun and informative."

Deep Patel

"Visiting the wildlife park was so enjoyable, it was honestly just a spur of the moment on this solo trip but it was worth it. There were a few animals out that day but not too many, maybe it was hot that day, but you can't not see kangaroos just chilling about so you have plenty of time to feed them, a food bag costs an extra 4 bucks fyi.. careful tho, some kangaroos really chomp down so hold your hand out flat 🤣. It was also really nice of the park to have presentations around the zoo/park so ppl could go to, both to watch animals but to learn more about them at the same time, I managed to watch one about the tigers :)"

Ricky Chan

"The most funny place to have interaction with Kangaroos from kangaroo island, Emus, llamas, etc. Reptile show is awesome! Plenty of green areas with tables and seats to have a picnic."

Julio Najera

"Kids had a great time. They cuddled Koala's, fed Kangaroos, and took lots of photos, including with Kangaroos. The tiger enclosure and the mini showtime are great, too. There was a wait inside the cafe during lunchtime. However, the food and the coffee were great. Tip: Get food for kangaroos at the front before you go in."

Sanoj

"Great place for everyone... The staff is very friendly and informative. Oh and don't forget to eat their Fish & Chips 👌 perfectly cooked. 😋"

Farhan Khan

“Our goal is to provide a quality interactive experience between people and animals for the promotion of respect, empathy, and understanding. We contribute to the survival of the environments we ultimately share with them.”
