Good to know
[NOTE] It is currently koala breeding season here at Moonlit Sanctuary. During this time, our koalas can sometimes be a little unpredictable, which means Koala Encounters aren't always guaranteed. As a result, the 1:30 pm Koala Encounter will not be running for a few weeks. On occasion, booked encounters at other times may also need to be cancelled at short notice to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the animals. If this happens, guests will receive an immediate full refund.
Visitor must be able to understand and follow Keeper safety instructions (for guest and animal welfare).
EXTREME LOCAL WEATHER: For the well being of our animals, encounters may be cancelled in event of extreme local weather conditions.
[Koala Encounter] Please noted for petting Koalas: For the safety of both animals and guests, park staff reserve the right to refuse koala petting if, but not limited to, the following circumstances occur: 1. Guests fail to follow the keeper's instructions or requests to interact with the koala; 2. The guest or koala is not in a suitable state for petting; 3. Guests display fear or excessive movements that adversely affect the koala; 4. Koalas pose a health or safety risk. Specific circumstances will be determined based on the conditions of the day. Park staff will do their best to accommodate photo requests, if permitted. If staff determine that koala petting is unsuitable, alternative photo options will be offered and no refund will be given. Thank you for your understanding.
