Featherdale Sydney Wildlife Park

This is a wildlife experience and well worth it. No exotic animals - all Australian animals, birds and snakes and so well cared for. It’s not a lot of walking but allow 2-3 hrs. So much to see. The wombats are so cute, and sleepy koalas , dingos, emus and all animals are within close proximity, so it feels very intimate. Plenty of shade (went there on a 42 degree day - it was fine). It’s mostly flat walking throughout and totally comfortable. Excellent addition of hand wash stations positioned all over the park. There is the opportunity to feed animals, with food cups and plenty of parking, onsite and directly across the road in an overflow parking lot. Opportunities to get a photo with a koala at a very good price (half of cost of other koala parks). Cute little cafe for lunch, which has gluten free options available. Well kept and worth visiting.

A great half day out from Sydney. Really easy to navigate - worth getting Citymapper if you don’t already have it to help with the bus/train times. Get up close and personal with some of Australia’s most iconic animals. You can buy feed at the ticket desk and feed the certain animals around the park! Top tip, you can feed multiple animals so don’t feel you need to use it all with the pademelons at the start! There are quokkas who would enjoy it too a bit further around. Highly recommend. You can get your picture with and stroke their koalas for a small fee, highly recommend doing that. We also booked online when we were on our way there and used a discount code for 10% off. Definitely worth doing. We went on a Wednesday and got there around 12 and were finished up around 2, so very easy to fit into half a day.

Visited bright and early on a weekday. Buy a cup of animal treats as you enter. Facilities are clean and coffee and snacks are yummy. A great place to visit and relax with cute animals. Staff was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Facilities were clean and you could see that the animals were all cared for in their appropriate environment. A more intimate experience compared to larger parks that we’ve visited. I highly recommend taking the time to enjoy this wildlife park while in Sydney. Keep up the passion for caring for Australia’s wildlife.

I dod like the zoo and the animals seemed very well taking care of! Our Koala experience was ok, I thought we would have found out more about the animal! It was just a picture session! I did like the pictures but I would have liked to have learned more about the animals! Lots of birds and smaller kangaroos! Very cute running around! It takes about 2 hours or a little more to see the whole zoo! And about a 45min Uber ride from Sydney from our hotel

I had a wonderful experience here, you can buy Kangaroo food for 5$ at the ticket office and feed the kangaroos. I also booked the Koala experience and it was amazing. I was able to pet the Koala and get my picture taken by their photographer. You receive your picture instantly in addition to a digital download. If you also want to take an additional photo with your own phone you can give them your phone and the will take a few photos for you during your Koala encounter. I very highly recommend visiting this park if you're near Sydney. Many other animal encounters like the Quoka encounter were fully booked for weeks so it's recommended to book early.

It was a great experience! The staff was great and welcoming. We got to pet and feed many of the animals (pademelons, kangaroos, goats, and sheep). Don't feed the goats and sheep though because they're on a special diet. And if you're there at the right time, you might get to pet a snake. Dozens of birds, many reptiles, and dingos (but they weren't fully out while we were there). We didn't get a chance to eat there, but there is a cafe and a gift shop. We got there within the first hour of opening and many of the animals were out for us to feed and around 10 AM their bellies started to get full. So you'd wanna get there early for the best opportunity for feeding. An Uber from Sydney was about $100 AUD at the time, but you can also get there by public transit plus walking (about an hour and a half).

We really loved visiting the Featherdale park, we had an extraordinary experience getting so close with the animals. It defenitively worth the visit! The zoo is quite small, indeed, but we spent almost 3 hours total since we kept most of the time enjoying feeding the kangoroos. Don’t forget to buy the kangoroo food at the entrance, it costs AUD$ 5 and worth it. Sometimes you must have some patience to wait until a kangoroo gets closer, looking for food. The animals must get closer to be fed, once there are reserved areas for them, where most of the kangoroos stay. Don’t spend all the food in the first encounter, as soon as you enter the zoo, because there are more opportunities to feed the animals inside the park. By the way, the zoo has a beautiful albine kangoroo! It is a unique opportunity to get so close to Australian animals, to see them so close to you. It is a unique experience!

The ultimate Australian animals and birds. If you want to choose from feathedale and Toronga zoo , I would suggest featherdale as it has native animals while toronga have more international animals. You can explore from Sydney by train and bus combination. Comfortable public transport. The main attraction are koala, kangaroo and wombats. There is koala encounter with 40 dollar extra. Discounted ticket available on trip.com. Can take 2-3 hours to completely observe the Zoo. You can have kangaroo encounter where you can pet them. Souvenier store , toilets , parking are easily accessible. Basic confectionary available. You can book ticket online. Staff are friendly.
