Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- dare2burbestMelbourne, Australia191 contributionsWent to the Sanctuary with my daughter and grandsons. Haven't been for years as living in the valley it was done to death with visitors. Was pleasantly surprised. Great for kids but also good to have a wander any age. The dinosaur exhibition is especially good for kids. The bird of prey show is fabulous. I probably wouldn't go back for a while but I found it most interesting.Written 28 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Shelly MBrisbane, Australia43 contributionsTravelling from Melbourne to Marysville, saw this just off the highway and being familiar with the brand, thought we’d pop in for a quick sticky beak.
Ended up staying for about hour, but all for good reasons!
The staff were amazing! So friendly, welcoming & warm. Every staff member we encountered was brilliant!
The gins were bloody good too!!
Took home a special edition Bloody Pinot & Sticky Carpet.
The food was delicious as well!! So many options, could have tried everything on the menu.
Whilst we not be back in this part of the world for some time, I’d highly recommend a visit.Written 12 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Rainforest walk is beautiful, just be mindful that at this time of year it’s muddy and slippery.Written 3 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Designed with empathy for the surrounding lands the architecture was impressive.
Currently they are expanding so the top carpark is closed, but, thoughtfully they provide a shuttle bus up the hill for those in need. Mind you would be amazed at the number of able bodied people using the bus.
Exhibits were unusual & well explained, watch out for the croc !
Considered the restaurant but it seemed too grand & pricey for a simple lunch so we went into Healesville, along with the traffic on a Sunday.Written 26 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Tried a beer paddle to get a taste of everything. The beers are superb!
The locals are welcoming & friendly - this is a really enjoyable and unassuming place to stop.Written 12 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was opened in 1924 by the Governor General Lord Forster.
Henry William Forster, 1st Baron Forster, GCMG, PC (31 January 1866 – 15 January 1936) was a British politician who served as the seventh Governor-General of Australia, in office from 1920 to 1925.
The Governor-General of Australia is His Majesty The King’s representative (George V at the time this was opened) . A Governor-Generals key constitutional duties include:
* Presiding over the Federal Executive Council
* Facilitating the work of the Commonwealth Parliament and Government
* Dissolving Parliament and issuing writs for a Federal election
* Commissioning the Prime Minister; appointing Ministers and Assistant Ministers; and swearing-in other statutory positions
* Holding and possibly exercising the Reserve Powers.
AND at this time... opening the Memo! The Memorial Hall is quite a stunning tribute to the gallant lads that gave their all for the country. :) War memorial is directly in front of the building. The building is red brick with cream trim.Written 5 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We met friends and took a picnic lunch and we spent a very pleasant day.
You can buy food and beer if you can't be bothered packing your own.
Plenty of seating and picnic tables.
Parking is a breeze and it's only a short walk to the gate.
Nothing like a picnic race meeting at this venue.
Only downside is that I didn't pick a winner.Written 13 April 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Amazing to realise this was a Cobb and Co stopover and a vibrant little town, once upon a time. There are the most beautiful European trees towering among the eucalyptus, even an ancient cork tree!Written 28 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rolf MGeelong, Australia83 contributionsThis is only the second time I have come across a Reuben sandwich in Australia ( a Reuben sandwich is a baguette or sandwich with pastrami, sauerkraut and mustard ).
It is good to see new ideas being introduced and I encourage everyone to give it a go. However, for my taste, there would need to be a few improvements : less pastrami ( for a better balance with the sauerkraut), more sauerkraut - warm and of a stronger flavour such as provided by the commercial products. But having said that, we will go there again to try some more! Well done, chef! Also served with the original version of Coca-Cola.Written 12 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - MeredithAussieMelbourne, Australia1,853 contributionsA solid workout - 6.5km up (10% incline) then down again. In summer, best done early as I imagine it would get quite hot. This is also the best time to enjoy wildlife encounters, including swamp wallabies and lyrebirds!
Some nice views on the way, but you can't see anything from the summit.
The flora is also magnificent - from the towering mountain ash and tree ferns, through to the exquisite native orchids. Keep your eyes peeled!
Possibly not as well-known as other walking tracks, so not too many other people to disturb your forest-bathing.Written 28 December 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

With a new exhibition every month, there is always something new to see.
Currently holding a group exhibition about what inspires, inspirited has 22 local artists. There is also a small retail section with some great smaller artworks, prints and gifts on offer. All made locally with love.Written 18 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - TravellerMelbourne, Australia17,413 contributionsMy wife and I visited this Park during our recent holiday in Healesville where we stayed at the RACV Resort for 2 nights.
There are not many tourist attractions in Healesville. This local park is near the town centre, off the main road. Plenty of car parking during a weekday.
It is a relatively quiet and small park with a playground and some facilities.Written 16 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
