Mix up the ol’ routine and get the family out of the house with a trip to Moonlit Sanctuary. Our wildlife park is full of cute and cool Aussie animals that are bound to remove “iPad” from your family’s vocabulary for a day. Get the kids off the screens and into Moonlit Sanctuary’s wide open spaces or take an extra special guided night tour that you all will remember for years to come.
Moonlit Sanctuary is an adventure suitable for the whole family. Little ones will love to see wombats, dingoes, koalas and wallabies and older kids will get a kick out of seeing all the snakes, turtles and lizards the park has to offer.
There are more than 70 Australian animal species to spot including several endangered species you won’t commonly find in the wild.
Moonlit Sanctuary is located at the top of the Mornington Peninsula and is on the way to Philip Island.
Hang back after closing time and book the family in for a guided night tour. A guide will take you around the park after dark to check in on our nocturnal population.
See Tassie Devils, pythons, potoroos, tiny feathertail gliders, quolls, pademelons and more by lantern light and learn about their starlit lives and habits. Night tours are an additional $55 per adult, $33 per child or $165 for a family.
