Moonlit Sanctuary near Melbourne lets you meet kangaroos, koalas, Tasmanian devils, and more with daily shows, keeper talks, and hands-on moments.
“You get to feed and pat wallabies and kangaroos (it costs a little extra for food) and see other wildlife. They lay under the trees as it got warmer so go early in the day in summer. We paid to also pat a koala - that option wasn’t shown when we booked and I’m so glad they hadn’t sold out. So be aware of this. There were flies which bothered my kid but they provide spray. Food And gift store was reasonably priced.”
Ride an open-range safari bus, see hippos at Kubu River, and catch keeper talks at Werribee Open Range Zoo near Melbourne.

It was definitely worth the trip from Melbourne.”
