Maru Koala and Animal Park

Maru Koala and Animal Park, a family-run attraction in Grantville, Victoria, offers visitors the chance to interact with a variety of Australian wildlife, including koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, dingoes, emus, parrots, wombats, and crocodiles. Guests can hand-feed and pat these animals, capturing memorable photos. The park features regular keeper talks and presentations, such as the Wildlife Presentation on weekends and holidays.
