We offer wildlife interactions to suit everyone. Included in your entry fee, our free, daily interactive tours are perfect for families and provide an engaging experience. For those seeking a more in-depth exploration, our 1-2 hour VIP tours or the 4-hour Trowunna experience are available.

Reviews
"Wonderful place to hang out with kangaroos, observe ducks and black swans, wombats and eagles. 30$ per head but we thought it’s worth it and we’re happy to encourage such initiative for animals!"
"We enjoyed it 15 years ago, and enjoyed even more today with kids. We loved the low key nature of Trowunna, hand feeding birds and kangaroos, plus the very informative tour/talk included in the entry price. More sanctuary than commercialised tourist trap."
"Trowunna Sanctuary is an exceptional wildlife sanctuary with a focus on the Tasmanian devil, and it offers an incredible experience for an affordable price. With an entry fee of less than 30 bucks, visitors can embark on daily free tours guided by knowledgeable experts. These tours provide an up-close encounter with remarkable creatures like wombats and Tasmanian devils, allowing visitors to pet and interact with them. The dedication and professionalism displayed by the staff at Trowunna Sanctuary are commendable. They not only facilitate these unforgettable encounters but also educate visitors about the risks posed by cats to wildlife. By raising awareness about the dangers of toxoplasmosis, they highlight the need to keep cats from roaming freely, as they can pose a significant threat to kangaroos, koalas, and Tasmanian devils. For a small additional fee, visitors can purchase food to feed the park's wildlife. This offers a unique opportunity to interact with kangaroos, which are accustomed to being fed by people and pose no danger. Trowunna Sanctuary is an exceptional sanctuary that combines education, conservation, and hands-on experiences. It's a place where visitors can connect with fascinating creatures and support their conservation efforts—a truly worthwhile and memorable experience for animal lovers and nature enthusiasts alike."
"Great wildlife sanctuary, staff are really friendly and there is an abundance of animals to see. There are numerous tours throughout the day and the guides are very knowledgeable. Very kid friendly with the option to buy feeder bags to feed many of the free roaming animals. There are limited food options here, however there are a selection of cold drinks and a Coffee/tea/hot chocolate machine for those cold days."
"A great wildlife sanctuary with very informative care takers. All the animals were out as it was a cool/sunny morning so it was a great experience especially feeding the kangaroos. Make sure to join the feeding sessions!"
