What's on

Each day, we offer opportunities to hear our expert keepers talk about the animals in their care and the conservation work being done for various species.

Ever wondered which Indigenous plant has leaves that can be used as soap? Or maybe you want to know what makes a Boomerang come back? Perhaps you’d like to hear a local Dreaming Story about how the Lyrebird came to speak in the language of many other animals?

Over two weekends in February and March, join us for a relaxing afternoon of live music and lawn games on Koala Picnic Lawn at Healesville Sanctuary.

Discover Australia’s majestic birds of prey and magnificent parrots in this this spectacular daily show, free with general admission.  Who rules the sky? Parrots, by their sheer numbers – or birds of prey, as skilled predatory hunters? Watch and make up your own mind.

Think the Platypus is a shy and reclusive creature? Think again! Tales from Platypus Creek lets you see Platypus as they have never been seen before. Come face-to-face with Healesville Sanctuary’s most iconic species in a world-first interactive Platypus show.
