Experience one of Victoria’s most memorable wildlife attractions at Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park, just 50 minutes from Melbourne. Home to more than 70 species of Australian native animals, Moonlit offers visitors the chance to connect with wildlife in ways that are both meaningful and unforgettable.

Wander through beautiful bushland and meet free-roaming kangaroos and wallabies, hand-feed friendly animals, and discover some of Australia’s most fascinating and endangered species. Throughout the day, enjoy a full program of keeper presentations and wildlife shows, where you’ll learn about conservation efforts and the unique behaviours of native animals from the people who care for them every day.

For those wanting a more hands-on experience, Moonlit offers a range of close-up animal encounters. Pet a koala, meet a dingo, spend time with a wombat, hold an owl, or take a selfie with a quokka. These intimate experiences create lasting memories while supporting important conservation programs.

As the sun sets, the sanctuary transforms into a completely different world. Moonlit’s award-winning night tours are internationally renowned and provide a rare opportunity to see Australia’s nocturnal wildlife at its most active. Led by expert wildlife guides, guests venture through the sanctuary to encounter species that are rarely seen during the day, including quolls, pademelons, gliders, bettongs, potoroos and many more.

More than just a wildlife park, Moonlit Sanctuary is a leading conservation organisation dedicated to protecting Australia’s unique fauna through breeding programs, habitat restoration and community education. Every visit helps support these important initiatives while providing an authentic and inspiring wildlife experience.

Whether you’re visiting Melbourne for the first time or looking for a unique day out, Moonlit Sanctuary offers an unforgettable opportunity to get closer to Australia’s extraordinary wildlife.
