I've read some other folks missed out on seeing Tassie Devils, not sure why as we saw heaps. We went to 2 feeding sessions where the guides tell you heaps about them, but there was also lots out just enjoying the sunshine (20c sunshiny day...maybe that helped, as they were out of their dens, but still saw them in their dens too). There was also Cape Barren geese with their babies, Echidnas, Pademelons, Kangaroos and wild Tasmanian Rosella's that will happily eat out of your hand and sit on your shoulder at the bird show. The park is not run down, it's meant to be a natural environment for the animals. We enjoyed the rustic look, it added to the experience and you can see how content the animals are.

This is a fabulous opportunity to meet Tasmanian wildlife up close and personal. The idea of an 'Unzoo' is that the animals are not caged and in as natural a situation as is possible. We first encountered a small group of Pademelons. There is no particular part of the property where they stay. They go where they please, mostly. As my wife and I were on our own, they were not scared and let us get very close before they put a safe distance between us. Another area was inhabited by wallabies, kangaroos and native geese. While not tame, they were, mostly, prepared to let us feed them and stroke them. It is worth respecting any of them who are not keen to interact. Getting close quickly shows their strength and the size of their claws. The stars of the show were the Tasmanian Devils. There is a little wall between them and the visitors. It is as much to protect you as them. They look very cute but they are savage and dangerous. Do not be taken in. Sadly, they are not too bright either. We were approached by an echidna. It isn't part of the park, it was simply wandering past and came to say hello.

We really enjoyed our visit to the unzoo. The guide was very informative and we were able to see the devils up close and view a feeding. The best part was spending time with the wildlife and feed some of the birds and forest kangaroos. I would recommend this to anyone visiting the area.

Tasmania has lots of amazing sights and experiences to fill every day you can spare. And, as Port Arthur will be on your list, you’ll find yourself travelling past the Tasmania Devil Unzoo. Take the time to stop and visit. An Unzoo showcases native wildlife in their natural habitat and you can interact with them on their terms. It’s a marvellous couple of hours. And a refreshing break from the drive to Port Arthur.

I love this place. If you do your research you'll learn that animal sightings aren't guaranteed, but that's the beauty of it. It's built for the animal's comfort. We hand fed rosellas, Cape Barren geese and kangaroos, and saw eels and tassie devils being fed. I patted a kangaroo! Never done that before. The guide was great: interesting and engaging. I came here 25 years ago and can see that it's expanded significantly since then.

What a fantastic day! This is a small, informal "unzoo"/sanctuary. It was just the right size and scale for us -- we were there about 1.5 hours. We saw wild pademelons who hopped nearly right up to us, of course the devils who were running about in their special area (and later we saw them being fed), and spent quite a bit of time with the kangaroos, who ate out of our hands! Pretty special to get to pet the kangaroos. The guides were great at telling a bit about the animals and the unzoo project. It felt really special, and not overwhelming in scale, which was perfect.

I had a blast at the unzoom, feeding the very sweet, kangaroos and seeing their Joeys. There were also pademelons (wallabies) roaming around freely. We feed free parrots in our hands. The Tasmanian devils were definitely a treat. We saw them being fed and they were curious and smelling everything. I loved all the interactions with the animals.

Guys this is such a must. We weren’t sure what to expect. The guide was absolutely brilliant. Clearly passionate about animal welfare, freedom and the environment. We watched Tasmanian Devils being fed. Stroked kangaroos. Fed birds. Such a great concept. Thank you
