We were traveling around Tasmania and stumbled across this wildlife park outside of Ulverstone and very glad we did. The staff were friendly and very knowledgeable. The animals were all healthy and well looked after and we were able to feed and pat some animals which is always a bonus.There is quite a wide selection from native animals to farm animals. It is quite a large property so we happily spent several hours wandering around seeing everything.
Great place to take little ones for them to experience up close some of our amazing wildlife. Able to pat the koala, feed to kangaroos, even a 3 year old fed kangaroos they were so gentle! and pat a baby tassie devil.
Wing’s Wildlife Park is a hidden gem that I am so glad we found. This wildlife park has both a normal zoo as well as a farm and in both of these areas you can feed many of the animals. There is plenty to explore and a lot of animal to get up close to. A range of talks and feedings of different animals are available at various times throughout the day. I would recommend this to anyone, you certainly don’t have to be a kid to enjoy this wildlife park.My tip is to organise a trip to Wing’s Wildlife Park and Gunns Plains Caves on the same day, leaving plenty of time for each. They are very close to one another which will make the most of the drive.
You can pet baby tasmanian devils, koalas, and wombats.The crew was highly proffesional and super nice.
We had a quick visit from the cruise ship to the park and really enjoyed it. We got to see devils getting fed, petted a baby devil, touched a sleeping koala and feed the Roos. Just a great time and the staff is excellent.
The staff were so knowledgable and friendly. Loved the fact that is is a refuge for injured animals too. Close and personal with wombats, tassie Devils, koala walking with the Kangaroos and many more wonderful animal experiences.
It is run by 4 generations of the Wings family and have lived and farmed in the Gunns Plains valley for many years.The wildlife park is very child and wheelchair friendly. Nice stock of souvenirs and light lunches also available but the best news is that if you want to experience Tasmanian Devils,this is the best place to see them.They are fed at 1pm daily (I think ?) and the staff are so helpful and friendly.Walk amongst the wallabies and hand feed them with heaps of birds , monkeys ,huge trout ponds,bison,and heaps of other stuff.A very laid-back and informative place to visit for all age groups.
The highlight of the visit was seeing Douggie the Wombat and patting his tummy.He lives with a rabbit and it was quite funny watching the rabbit washing him.He was in total bliss and like the other animals in Wings obviously totally contented with his life.I spent half a day here and could have easily spent more time.The park is well laid out, very well maintained and the animals look very well fed.Another high point was feeding the kangaroos. They grab your hand and hang on to you (with huge claws, but dont scratch) while they eat out of your hand, with up to 3 kangaroos at a time hanging on to me (I have big hands).It was really fun especially as the joeys were hanging out of the mums pouch staring up to watch was going on.Also the devil talk and pat. I must admit I hated them before I came to the park but now have changed my opinion.I also did Leven Canyon, Preston falls and Gunns Cave over 2 days (camping in Leven Canyon).Beautiful countryside.Great coffee at the cafe.Give it a visit. I reckon you will be impressed.
Family and individuals from any age can have the day out to see and feel the nature of TasmaniaGreat art of the country to visit - the whole valley has everything from the Wildlife park,fishing,walks and fresh air.......great photography scenes to capture.....
I stayed in one of the cabins for a week with my 2 boys aged 8 and 5. The accomodation was basic but we only used it as a base and lace to sleep. Was awesome waking up to and falling asleep to the kookaburras laugh. As well as the animals in the park we got to see some around the cabin as well with a visit from a kangaroo and also an echidna which the kids loved. A must see is the Tassmanian Devil feeding and getting to pat a baby devil
