Opening in September 2006, and housing the largest variety of Australian animals under one roof, Sydney Wildlife World provides a complete all-Australian wildlife experience in the heart of Darling Harbour. Experience a real Australian adventure, without having to travel all around the country. See over 6,000 animals living in their natural habitats and ecosystems, where you can take a walk on the wild side with the yellow-footed rock wallabies, or meet one of Australia’s cutest national icons, the koala. Step into a world that’s totally wild. Cringe while looking at Australia’s bizarre creepy-crawlies, or shudder at the sight of deadly snakes, and see the scales and tails of our unique reptiles. Adjust your eyes and find out what the possums and quolls get up to after dark in the Nocturnal house, or look out into the red heart of Australia and see how our mammals have adapted to survive in this country’s harsh climate.
Be dazzled by scores of colourful butterflies, and explore Flight Canyon and discover which birds live within the heights of a forest canopy and the amazing calling sounds they make. Allow yourself to be completely immersed within this world class exhibit, such as the spectacular two-storey aviary and butterfly house, the canopies of which can be seen from a distance outside the building, through to the iconic red centre of Australia.
It’s all there, and all so close.
