Central Coast Zoo, Wildlife sanctuary in Wyong Creek, Australia
Central Coast Zoo sits on about 15 acres of land where visitors can see African lions, giant tortoises, American alligators, and Barbary sheep in open enclosures. The grounds share space with a fun park, allowing guests to observe animals at close range.
The site began as a fun park that opened in 2008, and the zoo section was added later. Over time, it evolved into a place where animals from various backgrounds could find refuge and safety.
The zoo tells the story of animal rescue through its residents, particularly those saved from difficult circumstances. Visitors can see how these creatures now live safely and become ambassadors for their species.
Visits require advance booking by phone or email to secure a spot. All visits are led by experienced animal handlers who share knowledge about each creature and its background.
A train called MAZE Express loops around the entire property, offering visitors a different view of the larger animals. This train ride allows guests to watch the creatures in a relaxed and safe way.
