Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The zoo is located in the southeastern suburbs of Melbourne, about an hour's drive from Melbourne. Australia's representative animals, koalas, kangaroos, emu, dingoes, etc., can be seen here, and the special park is a night visit, where you can see owls, possums, feather-tailgliders that are very active at night (little mouse with a long tail), Tasmanian devil (about the size of a puppy, looks like a black bear) and so on. These cute animals are very popular with children, and the whole family may wish to visit here. Night tours need to be booked before 15:00 on the same day. The start time of the tour is slightly adjusted according to the season, so pay attention when booking. There will be experienced tour guides to lead you on the tour. The tour time is generally 1.5-2 hours. It is recommended to arrive at the site 10-15 minutes in advance.

Let’s Meet some Aussie’s Animals!#timetotravel #australia #melbournetrip #daytrip #wildlife Just around an hour drive from Melbourne, there’s this wonderful place where you can see all kind of animals that are native to Australia. Koalas and kangaroos are no stranger, but have you seen Tasmanian Devil, Wombats, Dingo, and variety of birds you may not see in your own country? Definitely worth a visit when you come to Australia! 📍Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park Address - 550 Tyabb-Tooradin Rd, Pearcedale VIC 3912, Australia Ticket - AUD29 (adult) Restaurant - the cafe inside the sanctuary has variety of food options with few vegan options available, too (including vegan cake!)arny_life16
Go to Melbourne!!Melbourne has so many cute animals and breathtaking scenery that I think everyone should go there at least once. I am definitely returning to Australia for the beautiful nature. Melbourne is definitely underrated sometimes. Did you know that you can ski in Melbourne by going to the Mount Buller? Also go to Fitzroy for the for the excellent cafés in street art and vintage stores! _TX***o115

Get up close and personal with wildlife here!If you are an animal lover, you should check out Moonlit Sanctuary located in Melbourne, Australia. This sanctuary is home to all of Australia’s local wildlife, such as kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, Tasmanian devil and much more! The animals are very tame and not caged, allowing you to interact with them at a close proximity, and even feed them as you wish! To add, the sanctuary is super picturesque, with charming lakes and forests where you can have a picnic with the animals.

Fun place to get close to the wallby 🦘May 2016 • Family First the admission ticket is more affordable compared to other zoos/sanctuary. We bought the food package to feed kangaroo / wallaby for $2. Along the Wallaby walk, you can really have a very up close experience with the wallaby and kangaroo. My kids love feeding them and keep wanting to go back. For other animal experience, you may need to pay a fee ($15 for koala). We did not take as we were quite happy to see if from a quite close distance. The only complaint I had was at the restaurant the food took a long time to arrive though the restaurant was not so crowded at all. You may want to spend lunch elsewhere (like at the Ashcome Maze cafe nearby).winter16734

koalas and kangaroos#celebratewithtrip at moonlit sanctuary , you can also see the koalas and kangaroos up close and they are so cute! for the koalas there is also a specific section and timing where you can take a picture with the koalas up close as they munch on their food. it is so cute but tickets required and by the time I contemplated on it , the tickets were already sold out so it was such a waste and pity! would suggest getting these tickets earlier in future if you ever visit. they are so lovely. the kangaroos are also very cute and jus chilling around. you can purchase food to feed them as well so as to obtain a close up picture with them. it was fun.gxx4

Wildlife sanctuary in Melbourne!#melbournetrip Place: Moonlit Sanctuary wildlife conservation park🌳🦘🐨🦃 Address: 📍550 Tyabb-Tooradin Rd, Pearcedale VIC 3912, Australia The cutest local australian animals including kangaroos, wombats, koalas, emus and cassowaries! At the sanctuary you can interact with the roos and feed them like a petting zoo and learn all about the local wildlife Pro tip: bring your own hand sanitizer because they will slobber while nibbling on the snacks from your hands! #melbourne #sanctuary #wildlife #kangaroo #คาเฟ่ห้ามพลาด #emuKimweez
Sanctuary for wildlife at MoonlitStopped by Moonlit sanctuary park to catch some roaming animals where we get to feed the kangaroos and wallabies. There are some shows where its free but we paid extra for encounter with the koalas which was abit expensive at A$25 per pax but we did it to allow the kids to touch and pet the koalas. Feels like a nice haven for the animals to roam freely and nice stroll around the lake area with the ducks and water animals.Wanderer T1

moonlit sanctuary#celebratewithtrip went to moonlit sanctuary during my time in Melbourne as part of a package tour. it was really exciting for me. this is something you should definitely sign up for if you are an animal lover as you can get to see so many animals during your journey here. we saw so many animals such as parrots who imitated us and it was so cute. also some eagle and ostrich as well as Tasmania devil and wombat. all of them were just chilling and it was nice taking pictures of them and just looking at them as they are very cute. would highly recommend making a trip here if you have spare time, before going to Philip island.gxx2

moonlit sanctuary wildlife#celebratewithtrip went to the moonlit sanctuary wildlife conservation park and before exploring the place , I had my lunch here. they have a small cafe over here and they serve hot beverages and cold beverages as well as some hot food. ordered a fried chicken burger that came with fried and it was crispy and nice. it may be slightly expensive but food was still ok and good. also had the sandwich that comes with cheese and ham. also tasted not too bad. overall would recommend a meal here first before spending a few hours here exploring the place and taking some nice pictures of the animals. highly recommended.gxx2

I love this place and hope to be back! My mother and I got to pet koalas, kangaroos, and wallabies! A perfect experience 😍
Absolutely loved Moonlit Sanctuary! It was the perfect day outing for a family, plenty for adults and children to enjoy. Animal encounters were reasonably priced and it was amazing getting up close to some beautiful Australian natives! Would definitely go again, highly recommended! :)
The first point of the newspaper's one-day trip to the penguin's nest is the small zoo. It's enough for an hour. There's food for kangaroos at the door. It's two dollars a pack. The koala photo is twenty dollars. There's also a variety of payment services for feeding Emu and parrots. All kinds of native Australian animals in the zoo can also be seen. Take pictures with kangaroos with patience and slowly attract them. They can basically be photographed. Koala is also very close, but my own photos are not very clear, I suggest that friends in need can pay for the photos. Generally speaking, it's recommended to go on a one-day tour. It's far from Melbourne, so it's not necessary to go alone.
shows / close encounters were cancelled due to extreme weather (too warm). if weather is cooling, the experience could be much better!
Lots of wallabies and kangaroos roaming around and you can feed them at your leisure. Overall a good experience and highly recommended to have a visit there if you happen to be there.
There are many different kinds of animals, Zhong can hug the tree bear 🐨 Shadow phase 📸️ so cute, special experience!
I really like this Zoo! Thats my first experiencing on feeding Kangaroo. The koalas are very cute too!
