Our award-winning wildlife parks are synonymous with the best wildlife encounters and experiences in Sydney and Australia - we have over 24 incredible private animal encounters at our 3 iconic wildlife parks.
At Featherdale Sydney Wildlife Park, you can follow our bird keeper right into our Little Penguin Enclosure, and hand feed the world's smallest species of penguins whilst you learn more about the behaviour and characteristics of these mesmerising flightless native birds.
Quokkas are well-known as the 'world's happiest animals' with their characteristic grins, and Featherdale is the only place on Australia's East Coast where you can hand-feed these adorable animals and snap your very own 'quokka selfie' in our unforgettable Quokka Encounter.
While you can’t ‘Cuddle a Koala’, you may have the chance to meet and possibly even pat our national treasure, as part of our Koala experience. Whether its mammals, birds, or reptiles that you’d like to get closer to, we can organise an extraordinary encounter for you.
