Billabong Sanctuary

“I regret putting off a visit to Billabong Sanctuary now that I have finally visited! I've been to dozens of different wildlife parks, zoos, and sanctuarys but this had to be one of the best ones in regards to the animals behaviour. alert, healthy appearances, not overtly desperate for stimuation nor food from guests, but still curious and didn't express too much anxiety. the presentations/talks were well paced out and easy to navigate to in a timely manner, staff were all friendly and personable. The relatively smaller scale of the entire sanctuary in comparison to other parks makes it an easy day out aswell as easier on little ones who may get overexerted else where. facilities are scattered about, a decent sheltered sitting area is beside the entrance/kiosk composed of multiple tables, as well as a small pool on site. a bonus for myself was the amount of native wildlife that took advantage of the area, plenty of waterfowl as well as songbirds abound.”

“I had such a great day at Billabong Sanctuary. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Everything felt well organised, and the feeding schedule was fantastic, every 30 minutes there was something happening, so it never felt boring or slow. The crocodiles were very impressive to see up close, and there were so many beautiful birds around the park. The koala was absolutely adorable. My personal favourite was a talking parrot, such a fun and memorable moment. The turtles following people along the water was really cute to watch. The kids had the best time feeding the kangaroos and ducks. The whole sanctuary was clean, tidy, and easy to walk around. There’s also a really nice souvenir shop at the front. Overall, a wonderful place for families and anyone who enjoys animals. Definitely worth visiting if you’re in the area.”

“Excellent, I took my 4 year old son there for the day and he loved it. Great access to the animals, caretakers have great knowledge. Only criticism is that the facilities could use some maintenance, and pricing for what it is was a bit expensive. Otherwise it was a worthwhile trip.”

“My friend and I had an amazing day at Billabong. We did not only held a Koala, but also a baby crocodile, snake and a bird. The staff was very helpful and had an answer to everyones questions. It was a lovely day. Would recommend it to anyone☺️”
