Oakvale Wildlife Park

Oakvale Wildlife Park The ULTIMATE HANDS-ON wildlife park in beautiful Port Stephens! Welcome to Oakvale Wildlife Park – where every day is a wild adventure! Plus many, many more.
(2715)

Nestled in the heart of nature, we're an Australian family-owned sanctuary since 1979. Immerse yourself in 25 acres of diverse wildlife, from playful kangaroos to cheeky goats. Our commitment to hands-on experiences, captivating Keeper Talks, and thrilling adventures sets us apart. With up to 70% of our animals you can have a form of interaction with, it is the ultimate hands-on animal experience.

At the park, you will find an endless menagerie of Australian native and domestic farm animals such as ducklings, rabbits, goats, sheep, cattle and horses, koalas, kangaroos, wombats, emus, dingos and a myriad of birds as small as a quarrion and as large as an ostrich. We aim to ensure a fun, safe, educational and value-for-money experience for the whole family whilst keeping things as hands-on as possible.

This National Threatened Species Day, meet the animals we're fighting to keep around. Koalas and Tasmanian devils are both officially listed as endangered. Quokkas are vulnerable, and only found in a few isolated pockets of WA. Even our wombats and dingoes face growing threats from disease, habitat loss and human conflict. Come meet them, and see why we do what we do. https://ap1.hubs.ly/H01lgFn0

Happy Father's Day for tomorrow. Yours might not incubate an egg for 50 days straight without eating — but that's exactly what our male cassowary does. So we figure the least we can do is buy you a coffee. Pop in this Sunday and dads get a free small hot beverage, on us. See you tomorrow.

Happy International Primate Day to our ring-tailed lemurs, who get called monkeys constantly and have never once corrected anyone. Wish our playful lemur troop a happy primate day or say it up close when you book a Lemur Encounter. We only run two encounters a day, Thursdays-Sunday so book in advance.

Fewer than 2,000 palm cockatoos are left in the wild. Our latest Save Our Wildlife donation is helping change that.

Every two months, our team votes on a conservation project to support through Save Our Wildlife. This time, our $500 donation is going to the Palm Cockatoo Project, run by .for.wildlife on Cape York Peninsula.

Palm cockatoos need hollows in old-growth trees to breed, but those trees take 200 to 300 years to grow. The project installs artificial nest hollows across the landscape, and earlier this year, a palm cockatoo chick fledged from one of these hollows for the first time in Australia.

The fieldwork is made possible by professional arborists like Robert Strauss from Proactive Tree Services, who climbs into the canopy to install and maintain the hollows by hand.

Small donations from organisations like ours add up. If you'd like to support the conservation work we're backing, visit the Save Our Wildlife page.
