Getting there
Find out at Featherdale
At Featherdale Wildlife Park, students can sit in on lively lessons at our
Education Amphitheatre and gain some real animal insight…and while our
fully qualified Education Officers might not be able to teach you how to talk
to the animals, they will show you how to better understand and interact
with our unique native inhabitants.
Book a kooka, a koala or a kangaroo…
We have friends at Featherdale who could bring a real Aussie flavour
to your corporate events. Invite a koala, a kangaroo joey, wombat,
kookaburra, lizard, snake or even a tawny frogmouth along to liven things
up and make your occasion unforgettable.
Contact [email protected] for more information, a quote
and an update on animal availability (after all, some of our residents are
fussy about paying visits during certain seasons).
