Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary
📍 Mylor, SA
Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary in the Adelaide Hills delivers close-contact wildlife encounters — dingo feeding, koala nose-boops, snake handling, and kangaroo and emu hand-feeding — all included in general admission.
Highly recommend this amazing sanctuary!! So hands on and interactive with the animals and the staff are so passionate and informative when presenting the shows. Such a great kid friendly place for all ages and even so much for the adults to enjoy! We didn’t even get to explore the whole place it’s massive and so much to Jam Pack in we nearly need another day to explore the forest and ruins. We loved this way more than the Adelaide zoo as all the staff absolutely love what they do and it shows so much when they are happy to chat to everyone. The animals are so well loved and looked after and the whole place is so neat and tidy. The food and coffee was so good and the chips were amazing and the kids rated the chips 10/10 Definitely will be going again next visit to Adelaide
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families who want genuine, close-contact wildlife interaction rather than a behind-the-glass zoo experience. The animal shows are essential — plan your day around the schedule rather than wandering freely.

“My Partner and I came down for the day and had an absolute blast, between the various wildlife shows, the animals, and cafe there is so much to do and see! The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable, all the animals have so much personality, an excellent day trip!”

“Good 1:1 experiences with the animals. The kangaroos and emus are very chill and enjoy being pat and fed. We were able to feed peanut butter to dingos, boop noses with koalas and hold a snake for no added fee. It is vital to attend all the animal shows/ education sessions otherwise there is not a whole lot to do. Following the schedule our day was full and it's very easy to spend the whole day there.”

“Hidden gem. Such beautiful surrounds. We were there on a super busy day but all the staff took the time to chat and share their knowledge about the animals. A relaxing stroll spotting the different wildlife was such a lovely way to spend the day.”
