Billabong Zoo Koala & Wildlife Park

This has been our favourite zoo experience in Australia so far! On our first visit, we paid for the red panda experience and definitely do not regret it, the red pandas were so gentle and you can tell they were greatly looked after.
On our second visit, we took part in the marmoset experience and it absolutely made our holiday! You can tell the staff are very dedicated to the animals welfare, and that their hard work goes towards a great cause. We highly recommend you stop by when you go to Port Macquarie!

It is an absolute MUST to stop here for a good half a day at a minimum!
The talks are fantastic and the range of wildlife there is frankly amazing.
If you're in the Port Macquarie area do yourself a favour and visit here!!

We've been to plenty of wildlife parks in Australia. We liked this one. A good size for a couple of hours/half a day. The underground wombat viewing room was a highlight, as was the lions. The grounds were well maintained and in good condition. Was not too busy on New Years Day.

Amazing and most hospitable employees. Shout out to Lionel from reception, Brooke and Mark from Snow Leopard enclosure.

Kangaroo feed can be purchased at three packs for $5. Kangaroos will actively hop to you for the snack!

Animals look healthy, happy and lively - a rare sight in many zoos where animals are usually asleep/looked bored/looked sad.

There are multiple animal talks from morning till about 230pm. Be sure to be there early. Keepers are extremely knowledgeable and are more than happy to answer your questions.

10/10 recommend. No regrets visiting. Went on a weekday with absolutely no crowd, such an enjoyable and peaceful visit. You can purchase tickets in advance or do walk ins.

Absolutely loved the zoo. The wombat enclosure rocks as you can see them in their natural habitat. Shame that the big cats were out of sight but that happens. The raptors were awesome, one of my favourites and of course the little penguins put on a show for us thanks you're amazing

Good Experience of Kangaroo. Billabong Zoo is a popular wildlife park located in Port Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia. It's known for its diverse range of animals and offers various interactive experiences, including feeding sessions, animal encounters, and educational programs. The zoo focuses on conservation and provides visitors with the opportunity to learn about and engage with various species, including koalas, kangaroos, reptiles, and more.

Great experience for the children. Lots to see and do including feeding the wallabies and wallaroos. Staff do presentations on the different animals at timely intervals, so great learning experience.

This place is great.
We went to a few animal talks the dingos, reptiles and koalas. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. We even fed the kangaroos

I loved the zoo it is really good place to visit on the weekend, it takes 2-3 hours in total to discover and see all the animals, I really liked Shrek, you have to see him. And make sure to hand feed the wallabies, they are adorable. There are toilets, cafe and icecream place

Great little zoo you can get close to each exhibit informative talks through the day keepers happy to answer questions, allow 2-5 hours depending on how keen you are. Great day for the family. 15 minutes from Port Macquarie

I became a child again. It was so fun to see all these animals, the highlight being the kangaroo feeding sessions.

Very good zoo, staff takes good care of the animals and has a lot of patience doing their duties. The zoo is clean. (It was hard finding hand sanitisers around the kangaroo's feeding area, but it was pretty hectic on that day) Zoo is kids friendly and family friendly. Overall, we had fun there

Lovely little zoo! Lots to see and do. They always have a nice schedule of events/ nature talks, many of which allow you to interact with the animals. Love that they take in injured wildlife.

Incredible Zoo, amazing array of animals. Beautiful landscape, very well designed & staff were amazing.
The lions were hiding in their back room & were at first difficult to see but the keeper locked the male out & I was so impressed to get a really good look at him. Incredible seeing him this close. Great variety of snakes, huge variety of birds. Overall a must see! Snow leopard was my reason for travelling here & I left most impressed with the male lion. The meercats are just an adorable species, next time Id like to do the enclosure experience with them

Billabong Zoo was a pleasant visit. The Zoo is obviously well cared for and despite being on the small side obviously is well loved. The Gardens are beautiful and must take a lot of work to be cared for.

Obviously all private zoos struggle for money and this is evident at Billabong Zoo as some of the Aviary’s are quite outdated and the encounters basic, would love to see more of a focus on providing unique encounters and more in-depth talks from the Keepers.
Government grant for this Zoo would go a long way I’m sure! Will be very keen to revisit when the night zoo becomes available if well executed.

One of the important tourist attractions in Port Macquarie, can cover the zoo with in couple of hours, but you get to see some very rare animals and at very close quarters as well. The Snow leopard was majestic and never have I seen in other zoos, similarly Cotton Top Tamarin was so cute and beautiful & kids enjoyed it. You can feed Kangaroos there and that's something children would love as well. A nice spot to visit when you are in Port Macquarie..

Very enjoyable experience for the whole family, beautiful well kept animals and professional keepers.

Great place to visit and welcoming staff. Up close with alot of wildlife. Feeding the Kangaroos. Croc show. Cafe open for lunch.

Great interaction with feeding the wallabies, the animals here are well looked after. Kids and I were here for a good 3 hours. We loved it

BRILLIANT. All animals are healthy and happy. They have great enclosures, the staff are friendly. The park is beautiful. Well maintained and easy to walk. I can't believe I've lived here for so long and never been. Super highly recommend. Tip: go on a weekday when it's not school holidays. It was so relaxing and quiet
