Best time to visit Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary Tickets
The best time to visit is early in the morning right after opening or during the late afternoon tours, as the animals are most active during the cooler parts of the day. While the sanctuary is a year-round destination, visiting during the Tasmanian spring and summer offers the most comfortable weather for exploring the outdoor enclosures. Weekdays generally provide a quieter, more intimate experience compared to the bustling weekend crowds.
How long to spend
Plan to spend at least two to three hours at the sanctuary to comfortably explore all the enclosures, attend a guided tour, and enjoy some time in the cafe. If you are short on time, prioritize the Forester kangaroo enclosure and the 45-minute guided wildlife tour to get the most out of your visit.

Good to know
Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary is located in Brighton, Tasmania, not Sydney, so visitors must plan their travel logistics accordingly. As an active wildlife rescue facility, daily keeper presentations and animal interactions are subject to change based on the rehabilitation needs of the animals. Guests should wear comfortable walking shoes for uneven outdoor terrain and bring sun protection, as much of the sanctuary is exposed to the elements.
Facilities
Restrooms, Gift Shop, Cafe, Wheelchair Access, Parking, Picnic Areas, Baby Changing Facilities, First Aid
Accessibility
The sanctuary is largely wheelchair and stroller accessible, featuring paved and compacted gravel paths that navigate through the main enclosures and facilities. Accessible restrooms are available on-site, and the wildlife hospital viewing deck is designed to accommodate visitors with mobility aids.
