Byron Bay Wildlife Sanctuary - wildlife experiences in Byron Bay

Byron Bay Wildlife Sanctuary (Knockrow)4.0 (1991)

From $20pp

Birthday groups of 15 or more get a full day among native animals, with keeper talks, a farmyard feed bag each and a marquee to call home base.

Choosing an Animal Encounter

The hinterland's mix of rainforest, creeks and open farmland makes it good country for meeting native animals up close. For groups, the easiest way in is a sanctuary visit, where keepers run the talks and the party has a base for the day.

What a hinterland wildlife outing can include:

Native animals with a keeper on hand, from kangaroos and emus to reptiles and birds of prey in free flight.
Byron Bay Wildlife Sanctuary at Knockrow, a registered charity that puts its takings into animal care and rehabilitation.
A shaded group base, with marquees and an air-conditioned room for hotter days.
Plenty to fill the gaps between talks, including mini golf, a water splash park and a nature playground.
Group pricing from $20 per person, with a minimum of 15 guests for a party booking.

It suits kids' birthdays most naturally, but the sanctuary also hosts workshops and corporate days.

Byron Hinterland Wildlife & Nature Experiences

Aim to arrive early so the group can catch the full run of keeper talks through the day.
Summer days in the hills get hot and humid, so lean on the marquee shade and the splash park.
Count every guest aged two and up, since each needs a ticket under the party package.
Book koala, owl or reptile encounters ahead if a close-up photo is the highlight of the day.

Wildlife experiences for adult and work groups

The sanctuary hosts meetings, workshops and product launches in indoor rooms or outdoor spaces.
Its team can arrange food, drinks, styling and audiovisual set-up for a corporate event.
Keeper talks give a work group a shared focus between sessions.
Because takings fund conservation, a team day doubles as support for native animal care.
