Hi John and thanks for your comments. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit and sounds like you got only 'good vibes' from your experience. The $2 you paid for your animal food goes 100% directly towards the cost of running our Wildlife Shelter at Maru where we rescue, rehabilitate and release injured and orphaned native animals from the wild - so thanks for your support!

Hello YangZClose encounters are a great experience and thank-you for letting us know that you also found it exciting and our staff are polite and friendly. We provide lots of training for the staff and only employ people who really enjoy animals and sharing information with our visitors.

Hi LauraI recall meeting you in person at Maru and am pleased to hear that the staff accommodated your needs so that you could just focus on enjoying the experience. We have won several awards for 'Good Access' as it is important to us to ensure that our amenities and services are accessible for all visitors and that our staff welcome all visitors equally at Maru.

Hello TaraBest day in Australia - wow, thanks for sharing your experience. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the information from the park staff and signs as our aim is to educate our visitors in an enjoyable manner. Hopefully your experience with us fosters a respect and appreciation for our native animals and their habitat in the wild. We look forward to seeing you and your family back again soon.

Thanks for your review. You were lucky to see the dingos not long after they arrived as they grow up so fast! If a koala is resting in the fork of the tree we do not wake it up for an encounter experience and this means that there is no stress or health issues for the animals so thanks for being understanding. Your money not only supports our captive bred Maru animals but also the work of our Wildlife Hospital for wild animals, so we really much appreciate your visit and support.

If don't enjoy seeing captive animals then you are probably not going to enjoy any animal park or zoo. Our animals are fenced in as they need to be contained but I would not call them 'cages'. The dingoes are behind cyclone fence with a roll over top to prevent escape and by law it must not allow for visitors to be able to put their hand through the fence. The dingoes are only young so like all pups they tend to chew on everything and we carry out enrichment activities with all of animals, including the dingoes, every day. Their enclosure is over twice the size that we are required to provide by law and we will post a photo so that everyone can see for themselves and make up their own minds, but we believe the enclosure size is adequate and reflected by the great physical and mental health of the dingo pups. The welfare of our animals is paramount to us and displaying captive wildlife for visitors to see gives us the opportunity to educate and inform and raise funds to support our Wildlife Hospital for rescue, rehabilitation and release of injured and orphaned native wildlife. You can't see the actual work of our Wildlife Hospital as these wild animals our kept out of the public view with minimal human contact which allows for a successful release back into the wild again once they are recovered.

It is a state law Victoria wide that we do not let visitors pick up and hold the koala, but by being able to see and pat the koala in its branch, it remains at rest and is less disturbed. Koalas in the south of Australia are also much larger than in Queensland. Our males can reach up to 12-14kg but in Qld only 7-8kg. So the koalas that are being handled in Brisbane are also much smaller in size. Glad to hear that you found our staff friendly and that they provided important information for you about our wonderful native koala species.

Hi CandJ. We are so glad you stopped in this time to try the experience. Our Pirate Pete's mini-golf greens and course was totally renovated in November last year. Maybe we will see you at our annual Pirate Festival which this year is on Sat 28th March - see our Maru website for more details.

Hi JohnIt's great feedback to receive about the staff and we will let them know that their friendly and courteous manner has been recognized. We are continually improving our park and displays and will take on board what you have suggested about the layout.

If you want to see Kangaroos and hand feed them, this is the best place to go. You will see a free range of Kangaroos roaming around you . You can get a close look of Koalas also. There are others like Emus, sheeps/ sheep sheering....but I was particularly interested in Kangaroos and Koalas for my kid. Its 2$ for buying food and you can feed them yourselves to Kangaroos and wallabies. Trip is worth the money and its the place to go if you want to have a close look at Kangaroos.
