This is the best animal sanctuary we have been to. The kids absolutely loved it. The care they take for the animals and the investment in time and money they put into rescue of injured wildlife is second to none, a well worthy reason to support. Kids loved the access to Tassie Devils, the big range of birds and of course feeding the friendly kangaroos in the paddock. Will be back again for sure

I was a little concerned about visiting here after reading some poor reviews, but glad we made the effort to stop and visit as do t really know what the bad reviews had to complain about. The enclosures were adequate for injured and captive wild animals, the staff were knowledgeable. All the animal seemed very well cared for and I love that they take in any injured animal and try & release it back into the wild & if they can’t they give them a home. We saw lots of animals including echidnas (one who is blind & one who has a leg missing), a wombat, lots of Tasmanian devils, quolls, loads of kangaroos, emus & other birds. I loved the philosophy of the sanctuary & if people think the conditions are harsh, just look at the area outside! It’s realistic. The hospital bit looked really interesting & although they weren’t doing anything while we were there the video was interesting to demonstrate what they can do. I would recommend a visit, but maybe not if it’s too hot as the animals won’t come out to say hello. The gifts shop had a good range or items to buy and the food outlet looked ok (although we didn’t use it). I feel our entrance fee was going to good use to help with future rescues.

Really excellent experience and a must visit. We booked the premium night tour and had the park to ourselves ! Our guide Page was fantastic , very knowledgeable and clearly loves all the animals. We got to feed many animals , met a lot of the residents up close and personal and had a lovely game with a Wombat called Madge! Whilst a little pricey it’s a really special experience and all the money goes back into the great work the Sanctuary does. Thanks very much Page, Liz and I had a great experience!

We spent a lovely afternoon at Bonorong sanctuary. We went to some very interesting talks by knowledgeable and caring staff and saw some beautiful animals. We very much admire the good work they do towards caring for native wildlife. I would recommend this to anyone.

We came here to see Australian wildlife and that is absolutely what happened. This was the first place we went off the plane and honestly, we could have left Tasmania happy only having visited here. We were able to see Tasmanian devils, wombats, kangaroos, emus and all sorts of other delightful critters. There were so many amazing birds here as well, some with big personalities. And there were bonus cockatiels in the trees surrounding the refuge. It was so much great wildlife in one space!!! The tour guide we had was great. He gave us a ton of really interesting info and he was great fun to listen to. He also really seemed to love his job. You get a bag of kangaroo food when you walk in and you can hand-feed the free-roaming kangaroos. It's a little intimidating when one comes hopping towards you excitedly, but it is quite fun. They did seem a bit tired of people feeding them by the afternoon though, some more interested in naps, so you may want to visit early. The highlight of our encounter was a wombat encounter, which we paid extra for. It was worth every dollar to see her up close and get a bit of interaction. We got extra time with a baby wombat and we were lucky enough that we even each got to hold her for about a minute each. She was soft, inquisitive, adorable, and generally melted everyone's heart. Completely worth it. We loved our visit to Bonorong and love what they do for animals and conservation. Go here; you won't regret it.

The sanctuary houses mostly native animals which have been rescued and cannot be returned to the wild. There is also a 24 hour vet clinic where injured wildlife can be treated and rehabilitated, with viewing windows into the examination and surgery rooms. We did the feeding frenzy tour which allowed us to get up close with many of their resident animals. Our tour included hand feeding echidnas, kangaroos, a possum and many species of birds. We were also able to feed Tasmanian Devils and Spotted Tailed Quolls from a safe distance. This was a truly unique and special experience which I would highly recommend.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bonorong Wildlife Park in Hobart is an absolute must-visit! Their dedication to animal rescue work is truly commendable, evident in the exceptional care given to the animals. The experience of interacting with their rescue animals is both heartwarming and educational, allowing visitors to connect closely with these incredible creatures. The park not only provides a chance to see a diverse range of rescued wildlife but also offers an opportunity to learn about their stories and the conservation efforts in place. The passion and commitment of the staff shine through, making every interaction memorable. A visit to Bonorong Wildlife Park is not just entertaining but also an inspiring journey supporting their invaluable animal rescue efforts.

We were given a feeding frenzy as part of our Christmas gift and had a great time with Elisa. She took us up close and we got to hand feed many animals. Costs about $175 Australian each. We went 10 to 12 :30. Arrive 10 minutes early. Small groups. Just us on our tour. Highly recommended

We booked the evening private tour and it was amazing. We got to feed, touch, and learn about the echidnas, wombat, quolls, devils, and many species of parrots. Also the magnificent Fred the sulphur-crested cockatoo, who is 109 years-old! (Prob the oldest living bird on earth now) It was great to experience the conservation efforts up close and contribute to it as a visitor.

We loved our trip to Bonorong. It is small but is bursting with personality and care for the animals. It is primarily a rescue and rehabilitation organisation, all the animals on display are there only as they are unable to be released, or are part of a breeding program. The tour that is included in ticket price is worth its weight in gold. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable and quite clearly loved the animals. Definitely worth a stop.
