Healesville Sanctuary, Healesville

We had a wonderful time at Healesville Sanctuary. The kids all enjoyed walking around looking at the animals. The walking track was easy to navigate. The map and signage easy to follow. Only one of the keeper talks occurred. Which was a shame as we walked to quite a few animals enclosure at the specified times. The Bird Flight display was so good we went back for a second viewing later in the day. All the nocturnal houses were wonderful and of course the animals were not affected by the weather. The platypus performed for us like he was putting in a private show. A great family out. Would highly recommend.

I have visited this sanctuary multiple times and loved it every time. It has a good variety of animals with a nice setup to show them in their habitats. If you’re there in time for shows, shows are both informative and interesting. Staff are very friendly and helpful. It’s great to know that this place helps animals and puts them back to the wild. Another great thing about this place is that it’s open on public holidays, even on Good Friday and Christmas day. Also kids can visit the place for free on weekends.
