Visit the Ballarat Wildlife Park

With over 100 free-roaming kangaroos (you can hand-feed), more than 35 koalas, plus wombats, emus, and an exhibit of the world’s smallest penguins, the family-owned Ballarat Wildlife Park is a must-visit destination for nature lovers young and old. You can even see Kai and Akasha, the Sumatran/Siberian tigers - in the state-of-the-art tiger sanctuary. On weekends and school holidays visitors can marvel at one of the biggest crocodiles in Australia, ‘CRUNCH’ the Super-Croc, as he feeds!
You can enjoy lunch in our fully licensed cafe or bring along a picnic to have on our outdoor table and chairs, surrounded by the Kangaroos.
While at the Park, why not ask our friendly staff about our ‘Animal Encounters’, which is a photo of you and an animal, professionally taken as your souvenir to take home.
The Ballarat Wildlife Park is a privately owned attraction run by The Parker family and their team. A single day entry pass includes daily animal presentations as well as access to the park’s souvenir shop and café.
The Ballarat Wildlife Park is just 4 minutes from Sovereign Hill!
