Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary reviews
55Animals seem overfed. While we were able to pet and feed the kangaroos, they seem intent on just lying down. I guess that is because they are overfed. Every visitor is given a bag of kangaroo feed.
A handful of passionate youngsters, with great heart, set up a place to cherish the biodiversity and the unique creatures of Australia as well, and through dedicated work the turned it into a success story. Take the time and go in, you will not regret it!
We had an absolutely amazing time at the Bonorong wildlife sanctuary. We went on a night feeding tour and learnt so much about all the animals that they rescue there! This organization is truly spectacular and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tasmania!
Great place to learn about Australia's native animals. Up close and personal encounters with Tasmanian Devils, wombats, koalas and more. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about everything in the park. Well with a visit!
Really enjoyable, knowledgeable staff and good visibility and interaction with the animals. The downside was that it was over crowded with tour groups when we visited.
This place is wonderful! You may experience Kanguroo feeding and take pictures as many as you want. There are plenty of complimentary food for Kanguroo. You may see Tazmanian Devil, Wormbat.and event touch it. They give very good explanation about those animals.
The best animal experience I ever had! You will be able to feed the kangaroos and take a picture with a koala super close. Also you will find tasmanian devils, wallabies, birds, and other animals. Really friendly staff and open to share a lot of information of the animals.
Great enthusiastic staff. Be reminded that this is not a zoo but a wildlife sanctuary where all the injured animals are returned to the wild after rehabilitation.
Smallish grounds. Can walk all the enclosures in about 20min (if you don't spend too long feeding the rooms)
There are kangaroos you can feed and pat, everything else is in enclosures: wombats, tassie devils, koala. To name a few
If you are a visitor and wants to feed and get closer to Australia native animals like Tasmanian Devil, Kolas and Kangaroos then this is good. But otherwise nothing much to see compared to other ones.
Had an amazing time with Millie in the wombat encounter.totally worth it! Always fun to feed and scratch the kangaroos, too. The free tour was very informative. But seeing Millie interact with her human “dad” was definitely the highlight.
Fantastic place to experience wallabies, tasmanian devil, koala and many other animals up close. Also learnt about their rescue and conservation efforts in Tasmania. Definitely a must-visit place!
Stopped here on a cruise tour with our two young kids (under 3yrs) lovely place, well appointed with a handfull of different animals. This place does wildlife rescue also. Staff were fantastic.
Much better than expected. Doesn't look like much on approach but they have plenty of Animals that are very outgoing so lots of interacting.
The keepers are very friendly and knowledgeable.
Don't expect too much feeding of the Roos.they're very well fed so barely bother lifting their heads.
The best way to see Australian wildlife hands down. Up close to kangaroos, koalas, devils, and wombats. Lots of information and volunteers are always around to answer questions. Highly recommend.
Saw a range of Australian animals, including Tassie Devils, and learned about various species introduced from the mainland. This sanctuary used to be a zoo, so they have some residual animals from the zoo, as well as the rescued animals now part of the sanctuary.
