Walkabout Wildlife Sanctuary

My partner and I had an incredible two-night stay at Walkabout Wildlife Sanctuary. We loved exploring the bush tracks and spending time with the animals, all of which are clearly well cared for in such a beautiful natural setting. The facilities are excellent, and the entire experience felt both relaxing and meaningful. The staff were absolutely wonderful—friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. A special thank you to Talia and Molly for making our stay extra memorable. We would highly recommend Walkabout Wildlife Park to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in nature, as well as to those passionate about wildlife and conservation.

This place is so underrated. It’s a great establishment with amazing bush walking trails. Wallabies, kangaroos, and emus roam around freely. They’re friendly! We met Gundy the blind wombat who’s friendly and loves people! He’s the cutest and the best. The animals seem to be well taken care of.

I had an absolutely fantastic time! The staff were incredibly friendly and created a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The highlight of my visit was definitely the lively lunchtime feeding session, where we got to interact with the kangaroos and other animals. It was such a fun experience to see them up close and watch their playful antics while enjoying the unique setting.

A very nice wildlife park where some animals such as emus, kangaroos and wallabies roam freely with the visitors. There was also many other animals to see including cute rabbits, dingoes, birds, wild cats, lizards, snakes and much more. It was a lovely day out and would recommend to families with kids.

What a little gem! Nestled among the trees, Walkabout Wildlife Sanctuary manages to evoke the charm of old school local zoos, but the enclosures are clean and well looked after, so it's the best of both worlds. A great range of native animals, plus a few farmyard creatures and the surprise of a few african animals as well. Of particular note are the free roaming emus and kangaroos, which are everywhere. Also the bush track and Aboriginal sites are fantastic, and there's a few great informational signs about Darkingjung Country, and the traditional owners and native plants and animals of the area too! Do note that it is not a stroller or wheelchair accessible place, as most of the zoo enclosures are accessed by bush tracks and stairs which means little ones will need to be carried. My new favourite animal place!

I’m from Taiwan and this place is a hidden gem. It’s a really nice area for family(especially with kids) and friends to have a beautiful day out. You get to see a lot of cute animals. Love the wallabies and meerkats. Love from Taiwan

We visited Walkabout Wildlife Sanctuary in January and I still haven't stopped thinking about our amazing experience. We stayed at one of the eco-cabins for 2 nights and I truly have never had an experience like this one. The rangers and staff were so welcoming and asked us about how we were doing every time we saw them. We also splurged on several wildlife encounters and Molly did an amazing job of telling us about every creature we met and how they came to be at the sanctuary. This was truly the highlight of the trip for me. I will never forget this place and keep yelling from the rooftops for everyone to hear that if you're near Sydney, you need to get to Walkabout! Thank you for having us and sorry I took so long to write a review. - Erin & Alex

Fantastic place to experience Australian wildlife up close in a natural and spacious setting. The sanctuary is home to a variety of native animals, including emus, kangaroos, wallabies, and wombats, many of which roam freely, making it a truly immersive experience. One of the highlights was the cheeky cockatoos that say “hello” as you walk past! A fun surprise, but be careful with the white alpaca—it has a habit of spitting and won’t let its alpaca friend get any food. The bag of feed is only $3, which is plenty as a treat to share with the alpaca, goats, and rabbits.Walking through the sanctuary feels peaceful and authentic, with plenty of opportunities to interact with the wildlife. It’s a great place for families, nature lovers, or anyone wanting a break from the usual zoo experience. Highly recommend a visit!
