Pat a koala, hand feed albino kangaroos, walk with the Dingo’s, talk to the parrots, meet a golden possum and get all wrapped up in a three meter Python snake. It’s all possible at Maru where you can ‘Get in touch with wildlife’. Meet a range of our native animals and enjoy hourly guided tours right inside the koala enclosure. Learn about our Wildlife Shelter and enjoy regular talks given by our animal keepers that let you learn about the animals as you interact with them. Bring your camera to make the most of ample photo opportunities or take home a professional photo of you with one of our animals as a special souvenir.

There’s more to Maru than animals! Set sail for 18 holes of adventure at Pirate Pete’s Mini-golf as you putt your way around the Princess Caribbean Pirate Ship. Encounter life-size Pirate figures, the Great White shark and brave the gold mine under the five meter thunderous waterfall.

Only fifteen minutes from Phillip Island, Maru is an award winning and family run attraction. Come for one or both activities and then indulge in a fresh pastry or meal in the licensed dining area, overlooking the animal park. Come and enjoy the friendly service and bring your family to meet ours.
