Healesville Sanctuary

Healesville Sanctuary is a magical destination nestled in the Yarra Valley, where you can get up close and personal with some of Australia's most beloved wildlife.

From koalas to platypus, come and explore the 70 acre bushland sanctuary and witness the incredible work of the Wildlife Health Centre, where over 1500 animals are rescued, rehabilitated and released each year. Don't miss out on amazing experiences like the free flight presentation, Spirits of the Sky, or the world-first interactive Platypus show, Tales from Platypus Creek. For the ultimate adventure, step into the Platypus play pool and be the keeper for a day, playing, frolicing, tickling and feeding the furry little creatures.
