What you will see?
Featherdale provides a home to over 2,000 Australian native animals from more than 260 different species and is home to the world’s largest collection of Australian wildlife. Focusing solely on native animals, at Featherdale you will find the largest collection of koalas in New South Wales, 3 open space enclosures filled with kangaroos and wallabies, as well as well as encounters with many other iconic Australian animals, such as dingos, echidnas, wombats, bilbies, Tasmanian devils, reptiles and a stunning collection of birds from Australia and around the world.
Koalas
If you’re looking to meet a koala, you can enjoy a Personal Koala Encounter in the Koala Sanctuary, where you will have the opportunity to touch the koala around it’s lower body, have a chat with an expert koala keeper and take home a great photography pack. You can purchase this experience upon arrival or inside the Koala Sanctuary. Pricing begins at $25 for up to 4 guests and excluding park admission.
Kangaroos
If feeding kangaroos and wallabies is the aim of your game – you’re in luck! For $3 per cup, you can stroll around our 3 walk-in enclosures and enjoy meeting our friendly macropod friends. Please take note of the refuge areas within these enclosures and do not enter restricted areas, as these areas are designed to allow the roo’s to rest. Featherdale is home to 12 species of macropod (kangaroo), including Eastern Grey & Kangaroo Island kangaroos, Agile/Swamp/Tammar Wallabies, Potoroos and the world’s happiest animal – the Quokka!
Birds
Featherdale is home to the world’s largest collection of Australian bird species. From black-breasted buzzards to emus to little penguins, the park plays an integral role in the preservation and enrichment of hundreds of birds from all around the country (as well as some notable exotic species).
Reptiles
Dare to enter the Reptilian Pavilion and explore the depths of our collection of snakes, pythons, lizards, monitors, turtles, frogs and spiders. Don’t miss the Inland Taipan exhibit, showcasing the subtly of the world’s most venomous snake. We also have our Private Reptile Encounters at 12.30pm everyday, pre-booking is required.
Endangered & Vulnerable
Featherdale houses over 30 endangered or vulnerable species including Tasmanian Devils, Greater Bilbies, Southern Cassowary, Quolls and is participating in protecting the Plains Wanderer, an incredible bird on the verge of extinction.
