Other great things at Cleland this winter:

Feed a koala

Cleland might be famous for koala hugs, but a koala feeding tour is also a very special experience. This recently reintroduced tour offers a unique opportunity to go behind-the-scenes and spend time with the Cleland koalas and assist with their daily health checks.

Pat a koala

One of the most memorable experiences at Cleland, why not spend some koal-ity time with Australia’s fave marsupial? In fact, you can meet a koala every day of the week at Cleland Wildlife Park! And better yet, this is free with entry.

Meet the cockatoos

Venture inside the Cleland Cockatoo aviary and embark on a memorable experience with the resident Cockatoos as they interact with you. These birds have either been rescued or hand raised and have an affinity towards humans. The team at Cleland love to share their stories with you and offer you the chance to get up close with the birds and get to know them better.
