Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary

One of my favourites, staff are super friendly, such a peaceful environment and loved all the animals! Definitely would be amazing for anyone who loves a wildlife park, families and kids.
Good Scenery for a walk too

Did the Raptor Encounter here. Was amazing. They have 3 owls, a falcon & a beautiful young wedge tail eagle that are all gorgeous. The bird handler Amy was very nice & even gendered me as female. Which was very unexpected because I never tell people I am transgender or expect to be seen or acknowledged as such, but very appreciative 🙂 The kangaroos are so gentle with feeding & incredibly good with human interaction & petting. Wonderful place. Can't recommend it enough.

My children participated in the Junior Keeper for a Day experience today and had the absolute time of their lives. So many amazing, hands on animal experiences, wonderfully educational and so much fun! The smiles still haven't left their faces and they're now recounting the day to the rest of our family. I would highly recommend this experience, worth every penny!

We had such a great day here
Amazing animal shows and all the friendly animals we got to pat
Kids had an amazing time and we will be definitely coming back in the future 💕💕 10/10

What a fantastic place! I don't review much but I had to post to spread the word. Hands down, it is a perfect day out for the family. Great food, relaxed vibes, friendly staff and beautiful animals. 5 out for 5 stars from me and the highlight of our 3 week stay in Adelaide. Make sure to add to your itinerary.

We celebrated our grandsons birthday. The staff and service was excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed the animal hands on experience s. Whilst we provided the decorations the rest was well catered. Weather was perfect which added to the day. Plan a head as own food is not encouraged. Good variety and dietary needs are catered for with prior knowledge. Fantastic tourist experience.

Visiting Warrawong was the highlight of our month in Adelaide. We visited with our grandkids and their parents and had the most wonderful day, close to the animals and learned so much from the keepers who obviously have such a love and passion for their work. It is a beautiful environment and I can't wait to see how it develops in years to come.

This is such an underrated attraction. Beautiful and clean surroundings, happy and healthy animals, friendly staff and knowledgeable keepers, plenty of space for kids to enjoy the great outdoors, a lovely Cafe with well priced food and drink. And it's not going to break the bank to get your family through the gate. Just outside of Stirling, so not even a long way out of town. If you're lucky you might even see one of the six resident platypuses.
And the wildlife show is excellent!

Excellent Australian wildlife sanctuary where you can have close encounters with koalas, kangaroos, emus as well as many other birds and animals.
We did the koala caper encounter and loved it.
Most of the koalas are rescue animals and happily let you pat them or pose for photos.
There are all kinds of activities and demonstrations as well as a cafe with a log fire.
It's an excellent place for a family day out.

Excellent day out, friendly animals to feed and pat. Great live educational shows with the animals and chatty birds. The property is beautiful and great food and coffee in the Cafe. Well and truly worth a visit.

I took students on an excursion to Warrawong in December and we had such a fantastic time I went back with 2 friends this week.
The staff are lovely, so knowledgeable and the property breathtaking. Love seeing our beautiful Australian animals in their surroundings. I will be back.

Wow this has to be one of the world’s most interesting cafes. There would never be a dull moment working there. The eccentric décor of ‘the shed cafe’ provides a rustic and bucolic feel which is made even more pleasant by the friendly service and general tranquil vibe of the place while at the same time being full of entertaining things for the kids from colouring books to lots of animal enclosures with frogs, lizards and colourful fish and a cockatoo who greets you on the way in. The kids got to hold a snake and play with a blue tongue lizard which they though was really cool and we thought was a great distraction while we enjoyed our coffees watching the colourful birds in the beautiful garden. We didn’t have time to explore the sanctuary on this visit however we overheard the table next to us talk about a platypus they saw on their morning tour which made us quite envious and even keener to return quickly.

Our 7 year old had a Junior Zookeeper Birthday at Warrawong and it was amazing. Zookeeper Taya was engaging for the entire time and all the kids came away with big smiles and great animal experiences to tell their parents. Miss 7 said it was her "best birthday ever."

Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary is home to a range of rare and endangered species, as well as a host of rescued animals.
It's not very big here, and there are not many animal species. When we see these rescued animals are living well here, we must pay tribute to the founders, managers and staff of this Sanctuary.
The staff here are very friendly and nice. We can get close to some animals here, such as koalas, kangaroos, emu, dingoes, pythons, lizards, tortoises, parrots and so on. Of course, also platypuses, but it is usually difficult to find them.

It was our first visit yesterday and my kids & I were blown away by Keeper Maddy’s knowledge & caring nature towards all the animals she taught us about. We attended all of her presentations and it was my sons (7yrs) favourite part of his visit. Learning about the animals. He even donated his spending money into one of your donation boxes.
Also have to say congratulations on such a beautiful job thats been done on restoring the sanctuary. Looks fantastic & the cafe view of the birds is beautiful. We will be back!

Hands down THE best wildlife sanctuary experience I have had in SA. With all the new developments going on, there's plenty to see and plenty more to be excited about in the near future. The animal handling was fantastic and our guide/presenter Kat was charismatic, clever and incredibly fun for the whole experience. All of the staff are so passionate about the sanctuary in a way you don't quite see anywhere else. Will definitely be back again.

Wow my heart is so full. David the owner would have to be one of the kindest humans I have met. I took my client to Warrawong who has Huntingtons disease and very unstable when walking. I did not realise how steep it would be until we got there. David with a big smile was straight onto it and borrowed me his buggy to drive my client around, he also gave us a tour guide. It was breathtaking such a slice of heaven, I was truly overwhelmed by David's generosity. My client was over the moon. David is full of knowledge, and such a humble man. I am still smiling ear to ear and will Pay it forward, to makes others Happy is so rewarding. Thankyou for making the world a better place. Thankyou to Narelle and all the staff. You all are AMAZING

Absolutely loved Warrawong. Was my first visit today & I already can't wait to go back. Super friendly passionate & knowledgeable staff. Fantastic, relaxed & peaceful setting. We went for the koala encounter (definitely the best koala experience I've ever had) & we even stayed for the koala pats because we loved it so much. If you love to see aussie wildlife in a natural setting then Warrawong is a must!

Such a tranquil and beautiful spot. The animal presentations were informative, hilarious and interactive. My kids haven't stopped talking about our visit.

A wonderful , welcoming sanctuary..the kangaroos , emus and Cape barren geese were all very gentle with the kids ..The friendly enthusiastic rangers were very educational in showing us the dingos, reptiles , koalas and talking koalas..An interatactive experience ..saw lots of turtles
in their ponds and will be back another time to try to see the elusive platypus ..Def worth visiting.
