Animal Encounters
STEP INSIDE AN
ANIMAL'S WORLD
Our animal experiences revolve around the animal, letting it choose how it interacts with you. Your patience will be rewarded as our beautiful animals come to you.
Embark on an extraordinary journey, forging an intimate connection with our Hunter Valley animal family. Picture yourself feeding a majestic lion, playful meerkats upon your lap, or hand-feeding Lemurs – the possibilities are as diverse as the encounters you choose.
Experience the thrill of getting up close with squirrel monkeys, our binturong, giraffes, and endearing common marmosets. Age restrictions and safety conditions apply to all animal encounters, ensuring a secure and memorable experience.
Our Encounters are very popular, so if the specific animal encounter isn't available for your preferred date, fear not! We offer over 24 incredible private animal encounters across our three iconic locations - Mogo, Featherdale Sydney and Hunter Valley Wildlife Parks - check out our sister parks!
