Ballarat Wildlife Park
"Discover the magic of Australian wildlife at Ballarat Wildlife Park! Boasting a diverse range of native species, interactive exhibits, and immersive sanctuaries, it's a must-visit for nature lovers!"
One of Ballarat's major tourist attractions operating for over 40 years, the Ballarat Wildlife Park provides up close interactions with a wide range of Australian and international species, many of which are currently endangered in the wild. We are family owned, and strive to give the best interactive experiences with some of our most unique animals.
Explore our different exhibits, watch the animals as they interact with their individualised habitats, and meet our friendly kangaroos who will share the walking tracks with you!
We provide educational opportunities for students to engage in learning about wildlife, including animal behaviour and conservation. Education comes to life here with a living, breathing classroom where students uncover exciting facts and fascinating insights through observation, hands-on experiences, informative signage, and our daily Keeper presentations.
Curriculum-specific programs are currently being developed - feel free to contact us to tailor a program specifically to your learning focus and students' needs.
We cater to all ages from Kinder through to VCE and beyond, including those with varying accessibility needs.
