Beautiful setting. Well worth the visit. Because of the more natural setting it is not always possible to see some of the animals. Unless you are prepared to pay more, of course.

Visited during the school holidays so The Harvest Cafe was very busy, but served great coffee and food.Plenty of free informative talks available to listen to from the keepers at various times throughout the day. The Bird Flight Display show was a big highlight, with birds of prey flying inches above your head! Loved the platypus enclosure, you were able to get very close while they fed on Yabbies.The zoo was very easy to get around with plenty of signage to help navigate your visit.Friendly staff at every touch point also made for a great day out. Definitely worth a visit!

The whole experience was fantastic, a lovely day out getting to see some of Australia's native animals. Keepers and volunteers were so informative and helpful throughout the day. The cafes on-site were great for various dietary options, whether you wanted a light bite or a filling meal. Toilets were well kept. Lots to do, my personal favourite animals were the platypus and Tasmanian devils.

I had a brilliant experience. Visited after about a decade. At places it felt like a zoo but overall could see the animals in their natural habitat. They are well looked after. Had conversations with the keepers and volunteers which displayed their genuine love for the animals in their care. The staff is friendly and accessible. The flight deck bird show was informative and exciting. Cafes and washrooms are well located. Not posting many photos as they are readily available on the net.

It was absolutely beautiful!All 3 of my kids LOVED the visit to Healesville Sanctuary!Getting soooo close to so many amazing and iconic Australian native animals!Heaps better than the Zoo, where there are literally hundreds/thousands of people and crowds, pushing over my 3 kiddies (all under the age of 10!).The Sanctuaries educational officers were also extremely friendly, knowledgeable, interactive and kind to my children in particular, on more than one occasion too!HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! A++++

Saw my first koala!! And Tiger Kangaroo? I can’t remember if that’s what it was called but SO interesting!! Big array of animals to see but also some sanctuaries were empty, which is understandable if certain animals are incredibly endangered, took a while to process prebought tickets but no other qualms otherwise, would recommend eating prior as food is wildlyOverpriced at the Cafe

Amazing place to visit! I have been there twice now and each time it has been a great experience. The sanctuary has a variety of animals and all of them are looked after very well. The bird show is definitely the highlight and not to be missed! The Harvest Cafe inside the sanctuary serves great coffee and food. Overall, an excellent experience and really loved it. Highly recommended!!

Not as interesting as I thought it would be, I probably expected too much. This is just like a normal zoo. However the saving grace is that the bird show added an entertainment element to it. To have closeup encounters with animals all require additional costs. I just gotta manage my expectations.

Top-notch sanctuary, had an amazing time. It is well laid out, just the right size, and with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Loved the echidnas especially, and how the kangaroos hop around right in front of you. The platypus section was also great as they are such unique creatures. Looking forward to coming back, 10/10.
