Featherdale Wildlife Park

had a lovely day out with the children.not a big place but some animals you can interact with,we had a nice calm and carefree day.i would even go their myself and have another stroll around and view all the beautiful animals-staff were great and had lots of information for us.

What a great day for the kids.we all had fun and explored everything they had to offer.we sat down and had a picnic in a nice shady area-staff were friendly and helpful and we will certainly be going back again.I got enjoyment out of talking to the birds as they were so cool.

Great place to go with the kids. Not too big and nice and flat. Love the focus on Aussie animals and there is a lot of them there to see. Of course the kids love the roaming roos and wallabies the best.

I love this place....If your looking for the zoo-ish type experience a little closer to home and for the younger kiddies then I highly recommend it here....Its not really a zoo lol but they have a heap of stuff to see there...Kangaroo's were my kids favourite....they loved feeding them. The emu's on the other hand lol well they even scare me so i'm not blaming my kids for that one hahaha Its a real experience having an Emu pick at the ice cream cone full of food pellets your holding....A must go attraction for those with little ones! The prices are GREAT and plus if youlook online you can usually find a buy1 get one free ticket to print out! Its awesome.

Great lil wildlife park where you can come up close to Australian Native Animals and other wildlife, also bird life here too. Kids love the cockatoo's that speak back to them through their cages! We have been regular visitors since both my kids were babies. They both still enjoy cuddling a koala, the daily zoo keeper talks, feeding the kangaroos, wallabies or if your brave enough an emu even , watching the daily crocodile feeds and generally exploring the park at their pace!

There are BBQ'S available with shady area's to sit, cafe on site and an souveneir shop for some take home goodies or aoft stuffed toys!

There is definitely something for everyone here! Great family day out, tickets can be purchased online as well, there are different shows on and talks throughout the day and group tours available! Staff are friendly and more then happy to answer any questions you or your kids have about the animals or wildlife. Just make sure you remember to being the camera - I won't make that mistake again!

i have taken my kids here are a few times..i took my son om his birthday as he looves animals..i like how you can get some food and give to the animals..you can interact with them which is a great way for the kids to see them..i like how there are bbqs there to enjoy a picnic lunch...once we went in winter and the crocodile was asleep hibernating and we went back in summer to see him moving about..love the range of animals they have and love how close they are to us..defntly go for a visit again soon great family day out.

Speaking as a kid at heart this place is awesome.A vast variety of different animals/amphibians kids and adults alike love it.It's easy to navigate,many photo opportunities,wonderful entry prices.Staff are amazingly friendly.It's known for a wide variety of celebrities both here and overseas visiting.

This is the best and cheapest day out with the kids where they are able to see wildlife up close and personal. you get to walk around with the animals even. my daughter loves the little wallabys and being able to feed the animals my little one thought it was awsome

When my friend came out to Sydney from NYC last year, her #1 'must do' on the trip was to 'cuddle a koala'. Look, here's the catch: it's illegal to hold a koala in NSW. And fair enough. You can pay for a 'koala encounter' at various tourist attractions in Sydney, but Featherdale made her day.

You can't hold a koala. But the koala enclosure offers the opportunity (at no extra cost on top of your existing ticket) to cuddle up next to a koala, actually stroke the poor thing's head, and she got exactly what she wanted. And a great deal more.

The Australian-only version of a zoo, Featherdale is fantastic--allowing you to feed a wallaby, meet an emu, see a hundred types of birds I never knew existed, as well as dingos, fairy penguins, tasmanian devils, you name it. Great for tourists, sure, but ever better for kids. It's a lot more afforable and accessible than the zoo, and a fabulous family day out.

My colleague recommended me this park. It was the first time when I touched wallabies and koalas. Encounters with animals are not very big and it was quite crowded on the usual weekend (not during school holiday). Anyway I fed wallabies and it was exciting. There is take-away place with reasonable prices and variety of food. I would recommended to go there with kids.

I came here 2 weeks ago with a friend from the US. It was relaly great being able to touch many of the animals, including wallabies, kangaroo, emu, goats, sheep, cows and getting up close to many other ones. Spend about 2 hours here. Kids will enjoy this place.

We came here because my daughter's friend wanted to get close to the Australian mammals like the kangaroo & koala but we had more close encounters than that. Amazing experience for adults as well as kids & spent 2 hours here. There are picnic areas as well as a cafe & you can buy food to feed the animals for $1.

This one of my favourite places to visit with my grandchildren and their families.The layout is great. They allow you hold a Koala and take photos. Amazing birds and kids love the crocodile and baby animal area and if you go online to their website you can discount vouchers.

very affordable, my 2 yr old loved it. got to take a photos with the koala's and kangeroo's. awsome place to take the kids.

Approximate cost: $54

A good place for both adults and kids. Informative talks about the animals, so it is educational for kids. Have taken my grandkids here twice, and they have enjoyed themselves.

Approximate cost: $27

What a great day - for young and old.
Friendly well set out animal park where getting up close with the animals is all around you. From the minute you walk in where you see a rare albino kookaburra to hand feeding the Kangaroos and Wallabies.
The staff that do the talks on each animal throughout the day are friendly and very knowledgable.
We left wanting to come back.
Featherdale car park is not that large but they have a car park just across the street which has plenty of parking and there is a pedestrian crossing for you to walk across the road.
Public transport to hear is very easy as well.

My toddlers have a ball here... poor wallaby's don't know what's hit them , appreciate the vouchers advertised regularly to make this a fantastic, enjoyable and affordable day out

We took our grand-children aged 2 & 4 here yesterday and they had a great time. There are many animal's, birds and reptiles to see. Some of which you can get up close to and touch and feed. In fact feeding the Kangaroos was a hi-light for the 4 year old as the Kangaroo food was in a ice cream cone and he thought that was so special we had to send a photo and story for news today.
The staff were friendly helpful and informative. It would be a great place for tourists to visit to view Australian natives up close.

Approximate cost: $27 adult $15 child 3-15

Took my 3 year old here. She absolutely loved it. Very interactive and amazingly active animals. I would recommend this place to anyone.

I have two boys with severe disability and they loved every minute of the interaction with the animals. I highly recommend this day out. Bring a picnic basket (not for Yogi) or eat there. I prefer the picnic basket. A great time

Approximate cost: $30

I had a great time at feather dale in doonside, it's close by, great attractions, affordable family fun.
The workers are also pleasant and helpful

Approximate cost: $100

Great for the family, friends and kids. I've loved every experience there and can't resist taking the camera on every visit.

I've always enjoyed animal parks and Featherdale is close and not super jammed with tourists, so it's quite pleasant during the school weeks. On holidays, more cramped but you gotta expect that. The animals are good and take a camera. Food is expensive but it's there, and you're helping look after that animals.

Approximate cost: $35

A great place to take kids to. I always use the buy one get one free offer which is found behind Coles and Target shopping dockets and is also available online. We also use it as a outing place for our playgroup. The kids never get bored of coming here.

We had a great day out with the kids, we used a shopping docket coupon, so excellent value. The kids can touch the animals as they roam around you. We have video of our 2 year old son laughing in hysterics at a kangaroo munching on the ice cream cone the feed comes in. Then behind us we watched a koala casually escape its enclosure and go for a walk along the enclosure fence. Then we had a goat getting all too friendly with the Mrs, very funny. Definitely a place to take your young kids, I'm not sure the older kids would enjoy it as much. The reptile area could be improved.

Went here not long ago with my boyfriend. If you look on the net you can find cheap coupons like we did, buy one admission get one free. Nice day out, not too big a park.

I have been visiting this park since I was very young and every time I go (even now as an adult) I have an enjoyable experience. Absolutely delightful to have an animal park so close to home.

Very nice tourist place. It's a small place, not as much animal as taronga zoo of course but it's big enough for a day trip. You can touch animals around here. It's quite cheap, overall a good hang out place for family.

pretty good if you won't be able to go to the city where taronga zoo is. They are many animals to see like the kangaroo and koala. It is very good for people who come from overseas
