Maru Koala & Animal Park

Description

Founded, owned and operated by the Heffer family, at Maru we personally take the time to ensure you enjoy your visit. Enjoy hand feeding and petting the kangaroos and wallabies, which includes rare albino animals.Enjoy hourly Koala tours where the Keeper will take you right inside the koala enclosure to personally introduce you to our Koala family.

See wombats, Tasmanian Devils, dingoes, native birds and more in the animal park. Meet the Keepers and be introduced to a different species animal by name as you learn about their characteristics and natural habitats in the wild at hourly talks on all weekends, school and public holidays. Bring your camera and take advantage of the ample photo opportunities as you interact with the animals. Learn about our Wildlife Shelter operation to rehabilitate and release orphaned and injured native animals back into the wild.

Your PIE Pass also gives you access to Pirate Pete’s Mini-Golf , enjoying 18 holes of Pirating fun. Putt your way around the thirty meter Pirate Ship and encounter life-size Pirate figurines, including one of Captain Jack Sparrow. Enter the gold mine under the five meter thunderous waterfall and watch out for the grouch in the old outback dunny.

Maru has a licensed café area where you can enjoy a meal or snack, with sealed paths throughout and amenities for disabled patrons, with plenty of seating and sheltered and shaded areas. We welcome group bookings and also cater for Koala or Pirate themed children’s parties. Enquire about our specialist programs such as ‘Keeper for a Day’ and ‘Twilight Tours’.
