About
Join us at lunchtime for an informative guided walk through the sanctuary viewing all of our resident species and concluding with an immersive Tasmanian devil feeding session in one of our largest Tasmanian devil enclosures.
Our devils are most active and ‘rowdy’ at feeding time, and our largest and only walk through enclosure, provides the opportunity to get a 360-degree viewing of this feeding activity. Our experienced guides will provide commentary on the infamous feeding behaviour and diet of these unique Tasmanian carnivores, as well as an overview of our conservation work.
