About Perth Wildlife Park

 

Perth Wildlife Park, located approximately 25 kilometers northeast of Perth’s city center in Western Australia, serves as one of the region’s foremost wildlife conservation and education centers. The park spans expansive landscaped grounds that support a diverse range of habitats from native bushland to specialized enclosures designed for exotic and endangered species. It is home to iconic Australian animals such as kangaroos, koalas, wombats, and quokkas, as well as international species like giraffes, big cats, and elephants. The wildlife park prioritizes animal welfare alongside visitor experience, combining naturalistic habitats with extensive walking trails and interactive exhibits. Visitors can enjoy immersive safari-style tours, educational talks, and close-up animal encounters that support awareness of endangered species and efforts in wildlife rehabilitation. The park was established in the late 20th century and has since grown into a major tourist destination and local nature retreat that emphasizes conservation, research, and sustainable tourism. Besides observing wildlife, guests can participate in guided walks, attend seasonal events, and engage in photography or leisurely strolls through beautifully maintained gardens. Perth Wildlife Park offers a unique blend of recreational and educational opportunities, making it suitable for families, researchers, nature lovers, and conservation advocates alike.
