The Byron Bay Wildlife Sanctuary's purpose is to create an awareness of the importance of respecting the natural world together with the community, by offering experiences that enable visitors to leave feeling fulfilled, with a newfound understanding and enjoyment of what Australia’s natural landscape has to offer, with the priority to respect, protect and enjoy Australia's native flora and fauna.
The Byron Bay Wildlife Sanctuary is open to the public seven days a week and offers a comprehensive daily activity schedule including Keeper talks and wildlife presentations including Free Flight Birds. The park also offers interactive wildlife experiences that give you an up-close and personal experience with native animals. The Sanctuary also has a café, a unique retail store, with a focus on locally produced and sustainable gifts alongside a large fine foods department and hot-nut bar.
Their wildlife education programs are available to book for schools or groups interested in learning more about Australian wildlife, conservation and the environment. They also offer comprehensive kids’ day programs during the school holidays which allow kids to get a hands-on experience at The Sanctuary where learning and fun combine.

Best coffee we've ever had. Great stop off if you're travelling through. There's a wide range of treats available and some fabulous foodie items instore to buy. The kiddos will love the toy selection. And if you need petrol it's just a short trip across to Tintenbar Store.
Thank you for your response, when passing through next time we will definitely pop in as it is a favourite. And we have always had a great experience in the pass Pass reivew 13th dec Upon our arrival at 2:20 PM, during a coastal journey, we intended to charge our vehicle and have lunch. We were informed at the counter that the kitchen was closed and the register had been reconciled, preventing us from ordering food from the display. However, we were advised that beverages could be processed through an alternative register. Several other patrons were also present, seemingly inquiring about the kitchen's operational status. Our review of your website indicated a closing time of 4:00 PM. We recommend updating your cafe hours online to reflect current operational times.
WOW 😍 what an amazing day! For the very affordable price of entry, you get all of the amazing talks and up close experiences included. I came for the kangaroos and this place did not disappoint! Was able to feed them, stroke them and even see a baby Joey up close! The staff are so knowledgeable and friendly and the cafe, gift shop and car park areas are all modern and clean. Overall this place is a MUST if visiting Byron. Thank you guys for an unforgettable experience x x x
We did the VIP experience and it was the most INCREDIBLE day. The staff were so amazing and passionate, and we got to meet so many animals. The best part? The whole thing is a donation. Worth every cent if you love native animals.
Pretty good. Has a reptile display, goats to feed and some rabbits and Guinea pigs that have petting sessions. There is a decent outdoor playground, free mini golf and a small water park feature. Good for a couple of hours with the kids. Relatively pricey for the available attractions ($70+ for 2 kids and 1 adult).
