A great open plan park with all the usual suspects - roos, wallabies, possums etc and of course the Tassie Devils - they have regular feedings and educational talks - great for locals and tourists of all ages. More

We came here on a rainy day and while most of it is outside we still had a great time. The lady on the till is not particularly friendly but the lady who feeds the animals in friendly, helpful and was full of information. We went to the nocturnal house which had quolls, a small mouse/wallaby and two possums. Fascinating... More

We started with a good breakfast to be in time to see the animals, especially the Tasmanian Devils, being fed. Our guide had a passionate interest in the animals and a great relationship with them. This made for an excellent experience for eveybody especially the younger children. The whole Park had a very relaxed feel which enabled us to get... More

Medium sized, family run, friendly. Kids would live it, but without kids we enjoyed ourselves. If you want to just tick boxes 'seen it, seen it' then you are out in an hour, but if you want to learn about Devils, Quolls, Wombats, etc., then you'll spend two or three hours... They have a cafe for breakfast or lunch too.... More

Had snakes ugh, but all other exhibits tops. The Tasmanian Devils were large and extremely healthy looking and very amusing to watch. Many wombats looking great with perfect thick coats. Lots of kangaroos, wallabies and smaller varieties. Emus, ostriches a pair of wedge tail eagles as well as many other birds. The old site with mining equipment and shafts and... More

This is a lovely small wildlife centre. Lots of animals roaming free makes for fun wallaby feeding and the friendly guide went out of her way to take us over to the Tassie Devil enclosure and tell us all about them. It's a lovely place and definitely worth a family visit. More

Seeing the Tassie Devils being fed was fantastic! Hand feeding roos and wallabies was amazing! The staff were so friendly and when we were looking at the koala she picked him up so we could have a stroke. Lovely area for the animals. Definitely go and see them and support their work More

Driving down the East Coast we saw the sign for Natureworld, and despite being Tasmanian we had never heard of it and decided to stop in for a look. We were intending to stay for an hour or so, but it wasn't until two and a half hours later that we departed! Being keen nature enthusiasts my partner and I... More
