    The sanctuary is a simple and old fashioned family program. You can have your tickets online or at the place (by the time I went, the online option was not working with apple pay). At the counter you will be able to buy some food to feed the animal for an extra $3 (one sack of food will be more than enough for a family to enjoy the experience, believe me). The staff are friendly and the place is simple. Right next to the entry, there is a cafe with a simple and delicious food. There are not too many animals, but for the $35 entry ticket, it is more than fair. Adding to that, you will be able to feed and pet some animal, like the kangaroos. During the day, there are some moments where you will be able to get closer to the Koalas and also absorb really interesting information about them, provided by the well trained staff (and you will not need to spend more money to that). I think that, tough it is a simple structure the place offers, it is really a enjoyable experience for a fair price. Highly recommend!

    You will find everything here except Koala 🐨 🤣🤣 🤣 Only one koala in Koala Sanctuary which is weird. It is like a small zoo where you can spend like two good hours feeding kangaroos and goats. There are dingos, pythons ,alpacas, ducklings, rabbits , and a lot of hungry goats 🤣🤣🤣 You can buy food to feed kangaroos and goats at the entrance for $2.5 packet. Kangaroos do not eat that food at all and are super lazy but you can feed the goats and there babies. The ticket is $28 per person for adults which some of us will find expensive for a small park.

    Such a forgotten treasure in Sydney. Go during school time and enjoy a relaxing walk through this beautiful jungle of gorgeous creatures and extraordinary wildlife. Head down around 10am and there are shows every half hour from dingo's to koalas. Stop for lunch and then head to the farmyard and reptile show before feeding some goats and heading home. Amy is a wonderful knowledgeable presenter who is so patient with the endless questions from kids. Got bitten by some bugs so wear appropriate clothing but otherwise a great time.

    The sanctuary is a very small zoo, yet good for the kids to explore. It probably needs a bit of face lift and renovation to make it more attractive. The staff were friendly and there were plenty of animals to see (including bats, an eagle, a wombat, emus, dragons, southern cassowary, dingo, farm animals, etc, all of which we weren’t expecting). My 6 year old twin nephews who just arrived to Australia, loved being able to get up close with the farm animals, feeding kangaroos and petting koala, all at no additional cost for us! The park was quiet and it has a small picnic area to rest and have some snacks. Sheep shearing is one of the shows kids really liked and was conducted by an expert (a really funny guy) who cut off the woollen fleece of two sheep in a minute! It’s a great way to spend a couple of hours, especially if you have children who love animals.

    I only make reviews when I'm really pleased with something, that's no exception for this sanctuary! The female keeper doing a koala talk this morning was excellent! She was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, making me feel inspired to want to know more about the animals. I had a great time, all the workers were friendly and I could tell they were all passionate about the park.

    Nice one,but it just a little bit small zoo ,even too tiny. But, parking is pretty easy and free if you come at weekdays.

  • 5/5 Pedro M. 6 months ago on Google • 145 reviews
    Very good park. Worths the price and the time if you want to see koalas and Kangaroos and some wild life. Buy a foodbag at the entrance and enjoy feeding the kangaroos. You can stay with them and touch them. It is an amazing experience. We went by bus and I recommend it. One morning or one afternoon is enough to visit the park. There are three shows during the day, repeated in the morning and in the afternoon. One of these with koalas.

    I have to say being a foreigner and my first time in Sydney, I was very exited to come to this place being a “sanctuary”. Yes I was able to see a koala up close but not allowed to pet; which is perfectly understandable. There was one koala. Not more. But my disappointment came from seeing how badly preserved is the whole place, it’s dirty, the animal spaces and surroundings where all filthy and poorly maintained. It’s just sad. Sydney is a beautiful city!! It’s surroundings too! And all so very well preserved! But this place just made me very sad; it doesn’t live up to the rest of the city.

    Lovely little wildlife park with the opportunity to get up close with some of the animals. The day we went it was overcast with intermittent heavy showers, so was quiet, but still had a great time. The keepers were great and really spent time explaining things during the talks/meet the animals exhibits. They even used our phones to take photos of the whole family group. The kids loved feeding the kangaroos and goats and getting to meet koalas up close. The Cafe/restaurant served up some great food quickly and reasonably priced. A thoroughly enjoyable day out.

    This is a lovely quiet place where you can see a range of mainly Australian animals. It's not crowded or Hustle and bustle which is part of the reason I like it it's been in institution for a very long time and it's a very nice thing to support it. Great for small kids is there are a number of places where you can interact directly with the animals such as feeding the kangaroos, with pellets you can buy on entry.

    Hadn't visited the Koala Park for at least 40+ years. It's a great wildlife sanctuary surrounded by suburbia, but you wouldn't know it. The wildlife exhibits were interesting and relatively well maintained - staff and volunteer staff look after this place. Areas under maintenance and upgrading but didn't detract from the experience. Great for families, kids and international visitors alike.

    It’s a family owned small zoo but it has everything u need to see. Went with my mom and we really enjoyed our visit, spent a nice morning there. Sadly they don’t allow touching the koalas anymore but you can still have a close encounter and take pictures with them for FREE. Also, we bought a AU3 bag of grass to feed the kangaroos, there were quite a number of them, very friendly and cute, you can pet them. Took a lot of good pictures. People said there were not many animals in this zoo but the point is you get a close encounter and interact with these lovely animals which I enjoyed a lot.

    I have visited here twice and I enjoy visiting the animals especially the Kangaroos and birds, You have a great selection of creatures. However I was disappointed when I entered the gift shop and saw Hats made from Kangaroo Leather, Don't understand why a Wildlife Conservation park is selling Unethical products made from Australia's own Native Fauna and therefore contributing to the largest Kill of land-based Wildlife in the world. I otherwise had a lovely time and would be happy to visit again and recommend to fellow animal-lovers once this place phases out Kangaroo products.

    We have been here before and highly recommend this wonderful family friendly Sanctuary. So much effort has been put into improving the park and guest facilities, the animals are well cared for and the park offers so many different birds , mammals and reptiles to see ; a must do in Sydney’s north west !

    Nice place to visit. Not too far from the city. You get to see range of animals here. But ironically there’s only one Koala in this Koala park. However, staff is absolutely kind and generous. Park maintenance could be improved more.

    It is a great place to spend a day with family and young kids. The interaction with some of the popular Australian animals and birds was memorable. They have Red tailed Black Cockatoos which are rare to find in the city and different varieties of Wallabies and Kangaroos. The Koala session was the best of my visit. You can have close interaction with them during the session. I managed to get few pictures of Koala with the information provided by the staff member. They have picnic area and a on site cafe with great variety of food and drinks. The friendly staff at the cafe and shop is a plus. Finally, if you have young kids, you must visit this place as kids get to learn a lot about the range of animals and birds. The Sanctuary is located on a not too busy Castle hill road. There is an ample car parking available with (extra room just incase you have pram). ??

    I was so impressed with this place! Last time we were there was before COVID, and they have updated the place. The staff went out of their way to be friendly and interact with my kids, they had a ball. It’s easy access with a pram, clean toilet facilities, plenty of hand washing spots and out in the open. We didn’t check out the cafe. There’s a cute playground for groups. The kangaroos are approachable and friendly for feeding. And the goats are keen! We fed them through the fence to avoid them jumping on us with excitement, and the kids were very happy with that. Thank you to the team, we will be back!

    Nice little sanctuary park but does needs an uplift in some of their facilities. We went on a Sunday morning and it was not busy at all. The zoo keeper we encountered was really friendly and knowledgeable. Visit the koala presentation and you can have a free photo with the koalas. Other zoos would charge for this so it was a nice treat.

    A short but sweet visit. Well worth the drive and 28ad entrance fee. The animals were a bit docile but that is the nature of Australian animals active Dawn and dusk. The highlight for us was being able to stroke a kangaroo. I urge you to visit this sanctuary. Just for the fact that it is a sanctuary. And they need the money.

    It's a Koala park, and yet only 4 to 5 Koalas are there to see. Tickets are $32.00 per Adult. Used to have more kangaroos thay we can go and feed. But now they have less than 8. Not too sure it's worth. Staff are friendly.

    I am a disability support worker and I took three of my participants to visit the Koala Park Sanctuary today Saturday 5/6/21. We arrived at 10am and did not leave until 2.15pm. We walked around looking at all the enclosures and went to all the talks and shows. We visited the cafe for a cup of tea/coffee. The best part of the day was being allowed in the koala enclosure to get close for a picture and patting and holding the farm animals in the farm yard.

    Love this place. We’ve been a few times but today was special. Probably because it was early and raining, we had the place completely to ourselves. The kids (3 & 1 year old) had a ball in the covered farmyard cuddling the chicken, guinea pig and rabbits and stroking a bearded dragon while the lovely staff took some family photos for us. We also fed the kangaroos and got up close with a koala before hitting the cafe for compulsory ice cream. Rain didn’t bother us a bit. Will definitely return.

  • 5/5 Rakesh Prasad C. 1 year ago on Google
    I first visited this place in 2019 with my grandchildren and we all enjoyed the outing. On the limited estate one could see a few other animals aside from Koalas. We'd also been to Taronga Zoo, and while this is diminutive by comparison both in size and diversity, this offered us a totally different, more leisurely and personalized family experience. It additionally has a children's park. To keep them engaged as the family takes a breather at decidedly one of the most quaint, homely and stylish Cafe that mercifully carries an old world charm where -well- one could read our even author novel!! On my current trip from India I've visited the Koala Park numerous times as a stop over on my morning walks to grab breakfast. I enjoy -.nay- look forward to the outing. Vegetable pie with salad, fish and chips, brownies....it's vast fare. Mmmmmmm!!! It's a leisurely experience....and yes, it has a lovely gift Shop. Try it out.

Wash rooms also availabe and they are clean. you can feed cangaroos and there are packets of dried grasses to buy at the ticket counter ro feed cangaroos.

    Sure! The Koala Park in Sydney is a miniature zoo that houses adorable Australian animals. It's a small animal park located in the heart of the city and offers visitors the opportunity to interact with koalas and other animals like kangaroos and wombats. You can get up close to the koalas, take pictures with them, and observe their daily lives. It's a fantastic experience for children and anyone who loves cute and unique animals.🎖️

    We had a great little day excursion to Koala Park. It’s a small older sanctuary, with lots of Australian animals and birds. Koala show and dingo walk was interesting. You can pat a dingo! One of the koalas had a Joey which was really special. You can feed the kangaroos and goats. The goats are crazy. Overall a fun experience, great for kids.

    This place requires planning of transport and having tickets are important. Carrying the koala is a must do. However pray it doesnt scratch you or pee on you. That would be funny though. Suggest you to carry wet wipes and sanitiser. As its required. Fun day. Pack some snacks with you and a bottle of water. There is food available at the attraction and a variety of diff animals available to see as well. These are just a few of my pics. Going in a group is more fun.

  • 5/5 Shivanthan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Koala park is a nice park with a variety of animals that one could expect to spend around 2 hours end to end. The park is setup on a relatively smaller real estate that limited the number of animals one could accommodate. Nonetheless, contrary to other comments we did find the place quite amusing and loved by the kids as they got to interact and feed some of the animals. A family onetime pass costs $86 only so you get what you pay for. I think this place cannot be compared to a Tarongo or Sydney zoo but for its size it still offers a enjoyable time for family with young kids. Staff were very friendly and always had a smile on their face which we found pretty welcoming.

  • 4/5 Zara M. 1 year ago on Google
    Well suited for smaller kids about 7 and under. Not a huge park, and safe to let them run about. Playground near the cafe. I was hopeful theyd have more koalas, we only saw about 3. Beautiful roaming peacock beside the cafe was a sight to see! And good opportunities for the kids to get up close to farm animals. Recommend for a good outing with kids of about 2-3 hours 👌

  • 5/5 Graham C. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful little animal park for the kids or friends or families from overseas. Lots of Australian animals on display, and an open kangaroo area where you can feed them by hand. We head back every couple of years and everyone has a great time. It's low stress and easy going, parking is limited but has never been an issue, and you can see everything and have an ice cream in a couple of hours. Friendly staff, a koala show and the reptile centre make it a great day out. $30 per adult, and note that they close at 4:00pm.

  • 3/5 John G. 3 years ago on Google
    Koala park Sanctuary is okay for the limits the government has placed on it. It's NOT big enough to fill up a whole day. No talks being given by staff right now ?. I did have a question about Emus. IF they could afford it, perhaps they need to build an underground parking area?

  • 4/5 Eva K. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s a cute place for little people and tourists to learn about koalas, wombats and other Australian animals. You can buy food for the animals and feed them, which makes it a petting zoo and poses a contrast to the idea of conservation. Overall an entertaining experience.

  • 5/5 CH007EH 1 year ago on Google
    This park is so underestimated! It is truly amazing and I advise everyone who visits Sydney to go and check out this park! I got to: • bottle feed sheep • pet a snake (a python) • pet a rabbit • pet a wallaby • get really close to koalas • pet a dingo • and pet eastern grey kangaroos!

  • 5/5 Kim S. 1 year ago on Google
    This place was amazing. Not your hustle and bustle Koala Sanctuary. Staff took the time to talk to you about the animals and their welfare. Due to storm damage in 2018 it badly needs refurbishing and money. Alan one of the keepers there was exceptional, professional and knowledgeable. Look him up when you visit. They certainly are passionate and caring about the animals there. We loved it.

    It's a bit pricy as the park is fairly small. They do not sell annual pass so it is hardly recommended to come again.

  • 3/5 Daniel L. 4 years ago on Google
    I had such an enjoyable visit here with an overseas visitor. The only reason I didn't give it a higher rating is I felt the place looked a bit in need of a refurbishment and I know its severe drought but the animals didn't look too robust. Everyone, go visit and experience this unique Aussie experience, take your overseas visitors. That way the owners can get more deserved revenue (with the recent NSW bushfire fires depleting our already near extinct koalas further) to retain this natural heritage of ours. If it got the needed and deserved injection of cash and upgraded facilities I'd give this place 4 or 5 stars. The State govt and local govt could even have fundraising for it for future local children to appreciate our unique native wildlife in their own backyards.

    Koala park has the best of intentions but I think if you're a tourist and wanting to see Australian wildlife up close then the best place would be Australia zoo in Queensland. That said if you're in Sydney and Queensland isn't an option then Taronga zoo is spectacular for the views but like all zoos, the animals are caged. There is an area to interact with Australian wildlife though. The other one I'd recommend over koala park is featherdale wildlife park. If you can spare the time, Dubbo plains zoo is nice and a great area to see more of NSW outside of Sydney.

    (Translated by Google) A bit far from the city. However, the distance from the koala is the closest. Take photos with Koala at no extra charge. It is recommended that you check the time on the homepage because the time is fixed. By the way, two koalas were female only. (Original) シティから少し遠いです。が、コアラとの距離は一番近いです。追加料金なしで、コアラと一緒に写真が撮れます。時間が決まっているのでホームページで確認してからをオススメします。ちなみにコアラは二頭でメスのみでした。

    It's a small sanctuary for animals and it's so well kept.

Fed some baby lambs and kangaroos and got up close to koalas (there is more than 1 by the way) and held some chickens, guinea pigs and rabbit. The park is very clean and every staff member was super friendly. Great to support a local attraction and get out for 3 hours.

    Pretty cool if you want to get close to some of the Australian wildlife. This isn't a zoo so there may not be a huge variety and you can pretty much see the whole place in 40 mins easy unless you attend the different talks and presentations (very nice).

    Although it's quite small, the sanctuary is quite nice for families. It was nice to see all the different types of animals. The staff are friendly and the facilities are nice too. The addition of the café, playground and gift shop also adds a nice touch.

    My 9yo daughter and myself had a fabulous day there yesterday. There is plenty to see and many interactions to be had. All staff were very friendly and helpful Allen who ran the Koala presentation and the Farmyard petting Zoo and Reptile presentation particularly stood out......He ensured everyone was able to have a turn and interact with the animals in a Covid safe manner. He was most happy to take photos of all families and he really brought the experience to the next level. Thanks Allen. I think the park has suffered physically with the impact of Covid and lack of tourism- therefore money Hopefully with the return of visitors some of the enclosures will be able to be upgraded I do recommend this for families as a great day out

    Flying Foxes, Sea Eagle, Dragons galore, Cassowaries!, and most importantly for the kids...the chance to pet the animals. Yes, there are Koalas, Wallabies, Wombats and Kookaburras. The kids loved it!
