Healesville Sanctuary is one of Australia’s most loved tourist attractions and one of the best places in Victoria to see and interact with native Australian wildlife.
The Sanctuary is committed to fighting wildlife extinction and offers visitors the opportunity to come close up to unique Australian animals in a stunning bushland setting.
Here you can explore the bushland haven for Australian wildlife, just one hour from Melbourne in the stunning Yarra Valley wine region. Or you can wander through the tranquil tracks and meet iconic Australian animals including koalas, kangaroos, platypus, dingoes, wombats and emus.
Healesville Sanctuary's Australian Wildlife Health Centre treats and cares for more than 1,500 native animals every year. Take a visit to the Centre and meet our vets and nurses, as they treat sick, injured or orphaned wildlife in need of care.
Days of operation: open daily 09:00 - 17:00
Children under 16 years of age receive FREE entry every weekend, during Victorian school holidays and on Victorian public holidays.
