Ballarat Wildlife Park, Ballarat

Pretty good place for close up visits with wallabys, kangaroos and koalas. A lot of good photo opportunities. Be aware that if you want a direct meet and greet with a koala you have to book ahead, because they occur at certain times and numbers are limited. The cafe on site was okay but it was very busy and wait times for food was long so consider whether you want to bring your own food. All of the staff we met were very friendly and helpful though and put a lot of effort into good service.

Visited Ballarat Wildlife Park yesterday. It was a great experience and I loved seeing all the animals. We went on the guided tour at 11am to learn all about the different native Australian animals. I especially enjoyed petting and feeding the free-roaming kangaroos, seeing the meerkat presentation and viewing the reptiles. Thank you! I definitely recommend everyone visit this wildlife park if you happen to be in or passing by Ballarat!
