Cudgee Wildlife Park

Warrnambool Wildlife Encounters is located in Cudgee, just outside of Warrnambool. With ringtail possums, adorable dingoes, gorgeous cockatoos, kooky kangaroos and much more! Our friendly staff are full of information and knowledge about our animals and are ready to teach you about the world of Australian species. Feed and pet animals like the koala and kangaroos for no additional cost!

Our park, formerly known as Cudgee Wildlife Park is now known as Warrnambool Wildlife Encounters. We have kept a lot of aspects from the previous park but focused on revamping the business to be a better experience for our customers.

About the Wildlife Park Owner

I was lucky enough to grow up on my family’s wildlife park which was surrounded by native animals, and I believe that the best way to encourage people to love and respect our wildlife is not by looking at them through wire but, where possible, to really get up close and personal, to touch, to feel, to smell; to interact with animals in a way that most people have not had the chance to do.

Located at the premises of former ‘Cudgee wildlife park’ Warrnambool Wildlife Encounters is a new take on the old family favourite. Keeping it in the family – former business Cudgee wildlife Park was run by my parents, and when they shut their doors 12 years ago I was determined that one day I would run my own wildlife park, so 4 years ago with the help of my partner we got to work on building a wildlife park with a difference, we are determined to give our guests an experience that you just can't get at other wildlife parks and its all wrapped up in a very family friendly admission cost.

These animals are my family and I want to share with people just how amazing our wildlife is, how fragile our ecosystem is and how important it is that we strive to protect it.
