Fact Sheets & Video - Sydney

More than SIX Thousand animals are housed at Sydney Wildlife World with 130 all Australian species! We're talking an all Aussie Park! They've even shipped in REAL red dirt from the Northern Territory to make this place as authentic as it can be.

The exhibit is 7,000 square metres and features almost one kilometre of closed walkways across two levels. The average visit time is around 1.5 hours.

There are WOW Facts up on the walls around the exhibits to enhance the educational aspect as well. The exhibits are organised into zones and feature different Australian wildlife aspects:
