Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park

Exceeded our expectations and we had a wonderful day. Get there in the morning for a quieter experience. Loved the wombat talk, will attend other talks next time we visit. The scenery is lovely and natural, the animals look happy and each one has a genuine reason for being at the sanctuary rather than zoo animals that could otherwise be in the wild. There is a huge variety and we saw everything except the echidna which was hiding. Everywhere is clean and tidy and easily accessible with a pram. Fun to feed the ducks and wallabies. Nice cafe area, good parking and clean toilets. We stayed about 3.5 hours which was enough including eating lunch. We will be back thanks a lot

I just loved it. Seeing the koalas so close, they are the cutest creatures ever. You can feed the kangaroos and wallabies. They have two Tasmania devils called Tim and Tam, which are part of a program to help them reproduce because they are endangered species. I believe that this type of sanctuaries do a great job in teaching people about local wildlife.

My family and I both went in the day and also took part in the night tour. We got to “roam” free during the day visit, and it was relaxed and fun. The kangaroos and wallabies were free-ranging and there were many wild birds too. Feeding the kangaroos and wallabies is highly recommended.During the night tour, Sam was really nice and gave us in depth introductions into each kind of animal. The nocturnal animals were also more active and we got to go behind the scenes. We were also able to feed a few more animals. Overall, it was a really fun experience. We got to meet many exotic native animals in natural enclosures, including Tasmanian devil and koalas. I strongly recommend this place.

We did the night tour with Sam, it was incredible! The animals were friendly and very food motivated, our tour guide was passionate about the animals and care they receive, plus he was an absolute wealth of knowledge. There were plenty of sanitizing stations and the up close experience with a small group (no more than 16) was incredible. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this experience.

Great little place to take kids, worth getting the yearly pass if you live nearby. All kinds of Australian animals & they have encounters at different times of the day. Nice casual vibe & not crazy busy. Heaps of kangaroos & wallabies to feed.

Fantastic experience and awesome guide on our walk through an amazing facility. Really enjoyed getting up close and personal with the animals. (Maybe not so much the snake)Staff on duty were friendly, courteous and extremely knowledgeable and made the whole experience worthwhile. Would definitely recommend this place as a must do while you're in Melbourne.

Great place to visit to see Australian wildlife in a calm and peaceful setting with some animals roaming free. Nice to see the conversation aspect being taught in the keeper talks. Really enjoyed it and the cafe had reasonable prices too so no need for a packed lunch. The kangaroo like to check out the cafe too sometimes! Great little place. Next time would do one of the special individual tours with the wombats or dingos.

Excellent afternoon spent at Moonlit Sanctuary. Fed the kangaroos and wallabies, enjoyed a coffee, spotted a lazy wombat, counted at least seven koalas, and had a pleasant walk through the grounds. Booked ahead on Anzac Day and although it was busy, it wasn't crowded. Highly recommend. Will visit again soon.

My family and I have just returned from the night time tour. Despite being cold and a bit of drizzle, the overall tour experience was great. We had a large group of about 20 we were split up into two groups and were given a small container of food for the animals and a lantern to light up the path. The tour guide was great. She interacted very well with the children and adults and answered all the questions una very friendly manner. The animals were very friendly and the kids loved feeding the kangaroos,Sugar gliders (my personal favourite) wallabies, possums etc. Overall it was a fantastic experience and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.
