Hold a koala – private package
Due to the current COVID-associated risks to our staff and animals, we’ve made the decision to modify our capacity numbers for this experience.
We will be reviewing the situation regularly to ensure we increase our maximum capacity numbers as soon as we can.
For a personalised experience, book a private koala hold package. In these private sessions, you and your group have access to a koala and a koala keeper for the specified time (subject to staff and animal availability)
The package includes:
- park entry for the day
- the rare opportunity to hold a koala
- a professional photograph to mark the occasion
- a professional photograph to mark the occasion, presented in a souvenir wallet
- a private session out of public waiting times
- your own personal keeper for an hour to answer all your questions
- animal food to feed some of the other animals in the park.
Bookings are essential. Please contact one of our team on (08) 8339 2444 during business hours Monday to Friday or email clelandwildlifepark@sa.gov.au. Health and safety conditions apply.
Please note that the koala experiences will not be held if temperatures are forecast to be 32 degrees and above at Mt Barker.
Masks are therefore a requirement for this experience, regardless of age or any exemptions. By booking this experience you, and any other participants, agree to wear a mask for the duration of the experience. Your cooperation ensures your safety is maintained, while also protecting the wellbeing of our staff and animals. Thank you.
