Zoodoo Wildlife Park, Wildlife park in Richmond, Tasmania
Zoodoo Wildlife Park is a wildlife facility in the Coal River Valley that houses Australian native animals and international species including lions in separate areas. The park spans a large area with naturalistic enclosures designed for different animal groups.
The park was founded in 1999 and grew from a small animal sanctuary into an established wildlife center. This growth reflects the importance of such facilities for conservation efforts in Tasmania.
The park hosts keeper talks and animal encounters where visitors learn about wildlife conservation and how different species behave in their environment. These interactive experiences create connections between people and the animals they observe.
The facility is located about 30 minutes south of Hobart and is accessible by car. Visitors should plan for a full day to comfortably explore the different enclosures and areas at their own pace.
A standout experience for many visitors is the LIONS RAW program, where guests hand-feed lions while learning about big cat conservation from professional keepers. This hands-on activity offers a rare encounter with large predators in Australia.
