Guided feeding sessions are quite popular here. Animal food is available for purchase throughout the park, and Featherdale staff members are on hand to assist in feeding kangaroos, wallabies, and pademelons. Guides can also provide insight into the park’s conservation efforts, highlighting the work done to reintroduce endangered species into the wild, and the park’s ongoing research into some of Australia’s most intriguing yet lesser-known fauna.
Visitors can also participate in supervised animal encounters, even getting their photo taken with koalas, quokka, and other animals. The park’s “Zookeeper for the Day” program allows children to accompany a zookeeper to learn about animal diets. Featherdale Wildlife Park is a typical stop on full- and half-day tours from Sydney to the Blue Mountains: These usually include the price of admission and save you the trouble of driving to and from the park.
