About

Only four people each day will have the rare opportunity to be guided by a keeper into the quokka habitat to get up close and personal with our quokkas and observe their behaviour while sitting amongst them. You will have the opportunity to hand feed and gently touch the quokkas should they choose to interact with you in that way. You will be provided with some of their favourite food items to give them plenty of reason to come right up to you. Every day is different so your experience will be unique according to how the quokkas choose to interact on the day. Learn some fascinating facts about quokkas from the keeper and discover each individual’s name and personality. This is a truly special experience not to be missed!

You can take as many photos as you like on your own devices.

This experience is limited to 4 people per session.

NOTE: Animal Interactions are an additional purchase upon Animal Park entry. Please ensure that Maru Entry tickets are purchased in addition to the Quokka Experience.
