Get in touch with wildlife at Maru Koala and Animal Park.

At Maru you can get up close with koalas, hand-feed and touch friendly albino kangaroos in a free-roaming habitat, meet the smiling quokkas, and see a whole cast of other iconic natives the Tasmanian devil, wombats, dingoes, and reptiles. Listen to Keeper Talks and see the Wildlife Presentation, or take a seat for a seasonal Sheep Shearing Show. Set sail into Pirate Pete's Mini-Golf, a full 18-hole course complete with a towering waterfall and life-sized pirates. Enjoy a meal in the licensed Homestead Bistro, filled with a tempting range of fresh food ready to eat or settle in for a sit-down meal.

Maru has sealed paths throughout and amenities that can accommodate all abilities, with plenty of seating and shaded areas as well as a prayer rest room. Maru offers a range of gifts and souvenirs to remember your visit by, as well as a purchasable annual membership. Maru welcomes group and private bookings, including children's parties and special experiences like Keeper for a Day and the Wildlife Enrichment Workshop.

Founded, owned, and operated by the Heffer family for over 40 years, the Maru team is committed to ensuring every guest has a visit to remember.
