There are many fun things to do at Healesville Sanctuary. Below are some of the activities you can do while in there!

Healesville Sanctuary is internationally renowned for being a home for saving endangered Australian species. You can see various animals ranging from Parrots, Kangaroos, Dingoes, Wombats, Tasmanian Devils, Goannas, Kookaburras, Pelicans, Barn Owls, and many more.

Each animal has its own area so you can see their daily activities. Starting from eating, playing, to sleeping or just lazing around. You can even approach them carefully and follow the guide's instructions carefully.

All areas for each animal are truly conditioned in such a way that the animals can enjoy their daily lives comfortably. For example, in the Platypus house, there is only a little light, so you need to be careful when passing by. Platypuses are very sensitive to light, so don't use your camera flash when you want to take photos of them.

Another unique zone can be found in the Reptile House, which is home to reptiles, including various types of deadly snakes. The special guard of this area at certain moments will explain each type of occupant of this house. Because not all types of snakes are dangerous, some of them can even be handled safely.

If you've never seen them, when you hear Tasmanian Devils, you probably think of scary animals. But it turns out that when you see it in person, it's not that scary, this animal has dense black fur all over its body. However, Tasmanian Devils don't really like the presence of humans because these creatures don't really have a social life.

There are several special arenas for various animal performances, such as the Bird Flight Arena which is usually a performance venue at 02.30. You can enjoy a show led by two presenters who also act as guides to invite the birds to show their talents.

The show, which lasts for 30 years, involves various types of birds such as various coloured Bellied Parrots, Eagles, White Owls, and many more. This short performance was very impressive for the audience as evidenced by the enthusiasm of the visitors who gave applause.

Not only the actions of various birds, the show was closed by a message from the guide. The message is about the importance of protecting nature and preserving the various animals that inhabit it.

As a home for many animals, Healesville Sanctuary certainly meets medical needs with complete and sophisticated equipment. You can visit to look around and even see animals live on screen that are currently undergoing surgery.

Not only for sick animals, here we also provide a forensic section to examine the causes of death of poor animals. In this way, the cause of the animal's death can be used as material for evaluation and taking further action.

For example, if it is due to a disease or certain cases, other animals nearby need to be examined to ensure whether there is infection or not, as well as other medical measures. The existence of this hospital with sophisticated equipment and professional staff ensures that the life cycle of the animals at Healesville Sanctuary is truly well monitored.
