The sanctuary is wheelchair accessible, and there’s a café on-site for snacks and drinks. **Nearby** - **Risdon Brook Memorial Park** (5 min drive) – great for a picnic or short bushwalk. - **Old Hobart Town Model Village** (10 min drive) – a fun, interactive step back in time. - **Brighton Beach** (15 min drive) – perfect for a post-visit sandcastle session. **Tips From Other Parents** "Arrive 15 minutes early to explore the free-range area—kids love feeding the kangaroos!" – Sarah, mum of two.
