Healesville Sanctuary's close encounters provide you with the opportunity to gain unique insights through unforgettable experiences that take you behind-the-scenes or close-up to Australian wildlife.
Night Creatures Close Encounter
Under the cover of darkness the Australian bush comes alive with some of the most incredible and unique night creatures!
The Night Creatures Close Encounter is your opportunity to go behind the scenes and meet Healesville Sanctuary's very special nocturnal 'stars' close-up and personal. Meet acrobatic ringtail possums, the very cute Bilbies, the Potoroo - a mini-version of the Kangaroo and the 'king' of camouflage, the Tawny Frogmouth. Learn about their keen senses of sight, smell and hearing that makes them far better suited night life than us!
