Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park

Voted best wildlife park experience in the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria poll for Victoria's 101 best tourist experiences!

Meet endangered Australian native animals in a natural bushland setting, during the day or on our unique and magical evening walks.

Daytime:
We are open during the day from 10am to 5pm. Get close to koalas, kangaroos and dingos, as well as colourful native birds, including cockatoos and waterbirds. See reptiles, frogs, and interesting insects in our visitor centre. Have a coffee in our cafe overlooking our wetlands and grazing kangaroos.

You can visit Moonlit Sanctuary on a Mornington Peninsula Attractions Pass, which also gives admission to Ashcombe Maze, Cape Schanck Lighthouse, and Point Nepean National Park, as well as bonus offers. Passes may be purchased at Moonlit Sanctuary or on our website.

Evening tours:
Come close to animals now extinct on mainland Australia, like the southern bettong, eastern quoll, and red-bellied pademelon. Aussie animals are active after dark, even kangaroos and koalas are more active.  A knowledgeable guide gives an entertaining and interesting commentary.

The entire bush area is enclosed in a fox-proof fence, and some animals are at liberty within this area. Others are contained in enclosures for purposes of conservation breeding. Tours take one and a half hours and start from dusk each evening.

Come on one of our public group tours, or enjoy a private tour, ideal for the wildlife lover or photography enthusiast. Tours run every night.

Transfers from Melbourne City hotels with tour, dessert and coffee available every night.

Bookings required for our evening tours.

We also offer:

• School holiday programs
• Children's parties and functions for groups.
• Educational programs for school groups
• "Keeper for the day" experience.
