Hold a koala
Animal experiences are unavailable so that we can comply with social distancing requirements.
Cleland is one of few places in Australia where you can hold a koala.
This very special experience includes a professional photograph of you holding the koala. If you would like to share this with family and friends we can provide additional photos at a small additional fee.
Daily sessions run between 2pm - 3:30pm, spaces are limited and often sell out. An additional session is available on Sundays and public holidays between 11am - 12pm.
Private sessions are available.
Bookings are not required. Health and safety conditions apply.
Due to high demand, koala holds have limited spaces and are available on a first come first served basis. We understand your disappointment if you miss out but please understand we are just looking out for the health of our koalas.
