"Compared with the past 8 wild parks which I visited in Au & NZ, this is really the best one. Why? It is because you can see the wild animals at closer distances than the others, but of course not tiger, crocodiles... It is so funny & happy to see the big birds in self-parade at their own pace, kangaroos lazily lying under the sunlight neglecting your food offering, etc. etc. The show at the interval is well arranged and so we can spend 4 hours happily here. Absolutely highly recommended!!"
"Not a massive park but perfectly suited to kids and adults of all age groups. The kangaroo feeding is definitely a highlight and the kangaroos are all fairly friendly and placid. Food can be purchased at front entrance for $4 a bag There are multiple animal shows starting from midday. The reptile enclosure is also lots of fun, lots to look at and well set up. Overall a really run park with good facilities and healthy animals"
"One of the best wildlife parks we've been to. Great for kids. The animal enclosures are so well looked after with very passionate zoo keepers. Easy to get around and to see the animals up close was a treat. The presentations were great and the animals were in perfect condition. Excellent place to visit."
"This was a good adventure, even on a cold day. The animals are all well taken care of. They are calm and friendly, you can get up close (except for the tigers maybe). Even the kangaroos are darn cute. They have different meet sessions you can pay extra for; we did a Wombat session met Fudge. Plenty of tables for a picnic lunch or Cafe on site. We were there for about 4 hrs and comfortably got around to everything without rushing."
"My experience at Ballarat Wildlife Park was simply incredible. From the moment I entered the park I was greeted by a vibrant atmosphere and surrounded by an array of fascinating animals. Feeding the kangaroos was one of the best parts. These adorable and curious creatures approached me, gently taking food from my hands. It was a unique feeling to be so close to these incredible animals. In addition to the kangaroos, I had the opportunity to see the majestic Bengal tigers. I confess that I was impressed by the size and beauty of these cats. They exuded an imposing presence as they rested in their enclosures. I was also able to observe the dingoes, with their wild look and natural elegance. I can't fail to mention the koalas, who were just adorable. Seeing these lazy, fluffy creatures clinging to the trees, living their peaceful lifestyle, brought a sense of serenity to my heart. As I roamed the park I also encountered a variety of other animals such as wombats, emus, wallabies and colorful birds. Each encounter was an opportunity to learn more about Australia's amazing wildlife and appreciate its diversity. Overall, my experience at Ballarat Wildlife Park was truly wonderful. I recommend everyone to visit and have the chance to connect with nature in a unique way. It's a place where you can appreciate the beauty of animals, learn about conservation and create lasting memories."
