Maru Koala and Animal Park

I like this place! It’s great for family with young kids. There are different kinds of animals and the animal talks are interactive. The staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. It is a great experience to feed the kangaroo. They are really gentle and it’s reasonably priced. The mini golf is well designed and so much fun!!!! The facilities are good too with clean toilets and clear directions of everything. The food is good too.

Super fun! The facility is quite large and open. The animals are all very well cared for and happy and it shows! If you have time, stick around for some the keeper talks which happen about every 30 mins, the keepers are all super friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend!

Small and very nice animal park where you can stroll together with kangaroos and wallabies. Attached restaurant is okay, super-friendly service! Enjoyed the animal keeper's presentation and the "meet a koala" very much.

Great place for a day trip.
The staff were so welcoming and informative about all the animals. Nice to talk with the animal keepers and they were very knowledgeable to answer questions about the different animals.
The information sessions are also quite good, starting from 11am, they have information sessions every 30min for the different animals.
Also a great experience to hand feed the kangaroos, first time we have seen a white kangaroo. Good to see plenty of joeys in pouches also.

Good fun interesting pirate themed mini golf course with interactive sounds, water features and other surprises. Plenty of shade among the trees. Small playground for the little children, BBQ facilities and undercover tables and chairs. Gift shop and Cafe inside where our grand children had their Santa photos taken. We will definitely visit the wild life area on our next visit. Lovely big gravel carpark with overflow carpark available for extra busy days. Recommend for all ages.

We bought the entry as part of the Phillip Island Experience (PIE) package.

The park was not as huge as a zoo but everything was close enough and had good amount of presentations, which was fantastic for the kid because you didn't have to walk so much and still got to see so many animals and activities.

It also had an 18-hole minigolf. Great design and fun to play. It also had a kids playground.

The cafe was good and the food was not bad.

Can easily spend a couple of hours with the kids there.

At last, all the staff (esp. Becky) was EXCELLENT and helpful. They deserved all the awards in their cafe.

Fantastic zoo to bring overseas visitors looking to get up close to kangaroos and koala. Definitely recommended to head in at opening hours so kangaroos are still hungry, they might ignore you once they have had their fill. The kangaroos will eat from your hand and you can get some really good pictures with them! A must visit!

25 dollars for adult and 15dollars for children.
High recommend to buy kangaroo feedings brefore entering. This place was kinda so small that it took only thirty minutes to look around.
But it is great idea to visit here for a while if you are planning to visit philip island.

Fantastic animal park for young and old. Great to see all the Australian animal icons up close and being able to feed the kangaroos. Our visitors from abroad loved it.

Small but perfect zoo for family, you have chance to get close to kangaroo, wallabies and koala. Staff here are super kind. They also have emu, dingo and Tasmania demon here which nearly include all the local wildlife. After the zoo tour, the free mini golf is extremely fun for all family members. Highly recommended this zoo for anyone wants to have close look of wild animals.

You can see wallabies, kangaroos, koalas, emus, dingos, wombat, crocodile, snakes, frogs, and more. Most of the mammals you can pet. Very good for a tourist who wants to get to know more about native Australian animals first hand.

It was such fun and great experience to have by feeding the kangaroos. The guides are well versed and explain about koalas and that was educational. Really enjoyed our visit to the koala park

plenty of space and time for everyone to interact with the animals. big space for kangaroos and other animals to hang out. staff is friendly, interactive, love the story telling by them.

Visited the park with the youths during retreat and it was very enjoyable! Informative presentations during the allocated times for each animal and the interactions with the kangaroos were the best. Mini golf at the front side of the venue to finish it off was perfect. Definitely worth a visit if you come by Phillip Island!

Such a awesome little animalpark. We also got to meet a real life koala🥰 She was so cute. The staff were very nice and so helpfull. They also have a funny mini golf😊

Best day out. Started with Feeding the Koala Experience at 9am before 9:30am opening time. Koalas slowly woke up with new branches of leaves. Multiple varieties. Learned a lot about their individual preferences and characteristics. Super soft to touch and pat. Staff were super friendly and informative. We even got to hand feed the wallabies living in the same enclosure while the keepers cleaned and prepared the enclosure for the day. We thoroughly enjoyed the complimentary scones with jam and cream. A great range of native animals to observe, interact, or hand feed. Perfect family day out.

Really a great place to visit! We had a nice weekend at Maru Park! Highly recommended!

Maru is such a fun day out for all ages, so much to do, good food with lots of GF options and the team are so friendly, welcoming and go above and beyond to ensure your experience is enjoyable!
A big thank you to the team, particularly those in the cafe!

We love coming to Maru with all our international visitors! Amazing experiences, including feeding the kangaroos. Always end with the mini golf too which is a fun an creative course. And food never disappoints. Great day out

This was an amazing experience... being able to walk around with the kangaroo and feed a koala, I would definitely recommend it
