healesville sanctuary

作为灰线旅游的驿站之一我们游览了动物园。我们在门口跟一个志愿者导游见面,然后他带我们穿过动物园。我们的小组成员好奇心旺盛,而导游回答了我们所有的问题哦。我们看到了好多当地的澳大利亚动物,这真是太令人开心了,这实现了我的一个梦想哦,鸟类表演也是很棒的哦。鸭嘴兽表演非常好看哦。这些动物都被照顾的很好的。真是一次愉快的经历啊。

昨天我第一次带我澳大利亚的朋友去保护区来看树袋熊。她就想看…考拉熊,但他们不是熊!去保护区的固定的一个位置上看所有的东西会更容易一些。我已经很多年没去那了,惊奇于它的变化。我朋友非常激动能近距离看到树袋熊蹦上蹦下,旁边还有饲养员给我讲每只树袋熊的故事以及它们是怎么来这的。她太高兴了,然后异常兴奋地看了所有其他的动物。我们花了大概3个小时去看所有的动物。这真是一个如此美丽的澳大利亚丛林,有着200年的老树,有獾溪潺潺的从中间穿过。这是一个体验澳大利亚自然风光的好地方。我们安排了去看下午2点30分的“猛禽秀”,真是太棒了。演出中成群排列的鸟妙极了,我朋友很喜欢。我们看了所有的展览,鸭嘴兽、袋鼠、澳洲野狗……但最值得一提的是给巨大鸟舍中的鸟喂饼干。它们落在她的手臂上吃种子。太特别的,我们肯定不会忘记的。一个非常特殊的因素是许多友好的志愿者的帮助,解释和欢迎人们来到这个地方,在这他们感觉自己是这的一部分。这家餐厅的午餐伴随着壮丽和严肃的诵经,很棒的。如果你只有24个小时呆在墨尔本,设法去那里,因为它是如此特别的欣赏澳大利亚自然风光的美妙的地方。如果你还有时间,去维多利亚艺术画廊吧,那有卓越的设施和杰出的现代澳大利亚艺术。

自从我10年前来过之后,动物园变得更好了。英国(England)客人对动物园印象超深。唯一不好,就是虽然享受了忠实客人的优惠,但门票依然很贵。

和小鸟一起预定了早餐(17美元,包括了咖啡和小松饼),非常棒-和饲养员一起去喂小鸟,非常棒的体验。绝对不能错过的是免费的飞行环节“天空的精神”,多伦多暴龙和鹦鹉展示他们的技巧。其他不能错过的还有野生动物医院的工作-非常整齐,而且有很多知识,当然,还有鸭嘴兽的展览。设施一流,而且非常干净。食物非常好,特别是在Harvest咖啡厅里的。总的来说,这是绝对不能错过的景点-所有的门票都可以在网上预订。

我们是在学校放假期间的最后一个周日来的这里,玩的很开心。天气很不错,我们花了几个小时在保护区游玩。我们来的时候正好是鸟类表演,我们还玩了回旋镖,了解了金合欢树的基本资料。我们觉得动物医院特别有意思,我们在的时候看见一个考拉在手术台上,还有一家人送来了一只蜥蜴。不过让人扫兴的是这的保护区的医生与游客没有任何交流,我们都不知道这些动物出了什么情况。我女儿非常想知道这些情况,看是我们没办法知道。不过这的环境还是很温馨的。这里的食物很好吃。我们中午吃了特别好吃的肉派。我们还会再来的,也推荐这里给大家。

Hi John, thanks for sharing your experience! We’re glad you had such a good time at Healesville Sanctuary. We hope to see you back again soon; every visit helps fight wildlife extinction! Cheers, the Zoos Victoria team.

We did this as part of a Wildlife and Winery tour out of Melbourne. The word Sanctuary leaves one to think this is a safe haven for animals that have been rescued. This was presented to us to have all Australian animals and it certainly does. For those few animals we were not able to see in the wild during our month visit, we finally got to see here. A cute dingo pup. However, this is a zoo as far as we saw and in speaking with our dedicated ranger, they do exchange animals with other zoos and areas. The consider it a sanctuary because there are places the animals can go hide out of view. This was very rare, well that elusive adult dingo was hard to find, but we returned a couple hours later and he or she was out in view. You will no doubt see plenty of animals. Also there is a wallaby area where if there at feeding time, you may be able to try and feed them some carrots. They really weren't interested in the carrots but rather the food in the bins they were just given. We did see a wallaby and her infant joey in the pouch his little head sticking out that again, we finally saw. Its a very large zoo and seems to be well kept. The attractions there were many. We had a time limit so weren't able to see the bird show. We were very pleased with our visit to the "zoo."

as with everything here it's pricy. But at last something that really felt like value for money in Victoria. Great atmosphere, massive range of Aussie wildlife to see. Well worth a trip and don't miss the bird of prey exhibition.

Hi Ian, thanks for taking the time to leave us such a detailed and lovely review. It is fabulous to hear that you had such a great time at the Sanctuary. Kind regards, Zoos Victoria.

What a great spot, only had 3 hours to spend but brilliant. Will come back again soon and take more time, pity the hospital section was closed, would have been interesting to see all the work going on behind the scenes.

One of the best attractions in the Melbourne area. We witnessed a bird of prey show, dingo's being walked, koala bears and baby koala, wombats and much more. All in a peaceful, walk-able setting.

The animals are number one at this sanctuary. We went in a quiet time when most kids were in school.

As avid travelers and travel writers we have seen many animal sanctuaries but we were more then thrilled with our experience at Healesville Sanctuary. They had two fantastic shows that we were able to watch 'Spirit of the Sky' and 'Tales from Platypus Creek' (the only Platypus show in the world). They were very well done, with humor, fun and we learned much from what they shared.Our daughter who is 17 loved every minute of the park as we meandered through the walkways of this beautiful forested sanctuary. There were many animals to see in their natural habitats while enjoying a relaxing and shaded walkway because of all the trees and foliage. Everything was clean and they offered a wide range of native animals to interact with. Our daughter specifically LOVED the Kangaroos. This was an excellent day and is perfect for anyone to enjoy the natural beauties of Australia.

An amazing must visit place. So many animals to see, in an environment so close to their natural environment. Different shows and talks to see throughout the day. The big bonus see being the baby wombat in the sanctuary hospital. Happy paying the ticket prices because you know the money is going to the care and protection of the countries native animals.

Excellent day out. I have now visited quite a few of these sanctuaries since being in Australia. And this was the best so far. The bird show is fantastic. Before I visited I read that you have to pay extra for experiences with certain animals. I hadn't had to do this at other parks and thought it might be a bit of a rip-off. After doing the kangaroo experience here I realised it is a much better experience for customers and for the animals themselves. At other places children (and idiot grown ups) are all grabbing at the kangaroos to try and get a good picture. But here keepers were on hand and the animals didn't seem distressed at all. The only thing I would recommend is getting there early in the day. We arrived at 1 pm and didn't get time to see all the animals. So make a day of it.
