Meet a Koala
Don’t miss out on a chance to meet one of Australia's most iconic animals up close. Learn about these unique animals from our passionate Koala keepers including how they sleep 20 hours a day, are picky eaters and how we can help reduce the threats facing them in the wild.
For the safety and comfort of our furry friends, guests are not permitted to touch or hold the koalas.
You’ll be able to get up close to these amazing animals with our keepers on hand to ensure the koalas still get their 19 hours of sleep a day.
