Featherdale Wildlife Park
Featherdale boasts the world’s premier collection of Australian wildlife, allowing visitors to get up close to 2200 animals from over 330 species. You can cuddle up to a Koala, have a photo taken and hand feed kangaroos all day. Located at Doonside in the Blacktown region, en route to the famous Blue Mountains, Featherdale is Sydney's ultimate interactive wildlife experience.
From the initial greeting by the swaggie and joey at the entrance to the park, visitors are encouraged to get up close to Australia's native wildlife. As well as numerous Koalas and Kangaroos, features include face-to-face encounters with all kinds of wildlife including Wallabies, Emus, an amazingly diverse range of birds and over 40 species of reptiles in the Reptilian Pavilion.
And you’ll also get the chance to encounter some more unexpected highlights such as Bettongs, Fairy Penguins, Jabirus, Bustards, a 4 1/2 metre Saltwater Crocodile and over 30 species of endangered or vulnerable animals.
Featherdale is not only a great recreational resource but a great educational one also. Many Australian and International schools and colleges take advantage of the lessons provided by Featherdale's dedicated Education department.
Featherdale is also a great attraction for all ages - the Park is level throughout and so is very convenient for wheelchairs and prams. It remains a leader in the field of tourist attraction management. In 2005 Featherdale won Major Tourist Attraction at the NSW Tourism Awards. In 2003, Featherdale became an inaugural inductee into the NSW Tourism Hall of Fame.
