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

Knockrow sits on Hinterland Way in the southern hills, and its draw for party planners is Byron Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. Kids get a full day among native animals, and parents get a reserved spot with barbecues and a view of the playground.

Inside a Knockrow sanctuary birthday package:

All-day entry for every guest, plus a feed bag each for the farmyard animals.
A reserved party area under the Sky Puppy Marquee, which has barbecues and looks over the playground.
Every keeper talk on the day, including the free-flight birds, the reptile talk and kangaroo and emu feeding.
Time on the Wild Greens nine-hole mini golf course, the water splash park and the nature playground.
Packages from $20 per person, for parties of 15 or more.

The sanctuary opens every day of the week, which makes a weekday school-holiday party just as easy as a Saturday.

A private reptile encounter lets each child hold a snake for a photo.
Kev the Koala, the sanctuary mascot, can drop in for a 20-minute visit.
Café platters and an ice cream for each guest take care of party food.
The smaller Pond Marquee suits a modest group, while the Dirrawong Conference Room moves things indoors.

Knockrow sanctuary tips for parents

Every guest aged two and over needs a ticket, so include younger siblings in the count.
Pack swimmers and a towel if the splash park is on the plan.
On a hot day the air-conditioned Dirrawong room, with its TV and sound, makes a cool spot for cake and presents.
Koala, owl and reptile encounters book separately, so arrange them before the day.
