Father’s Day at Hunter Valley Wildlife Park
Overview
Make Father's Day one to remember with a wild family adventure at Hunter Valley Wildlife Park.
Begin the day with a barbecue breakfast, then set out to explore the park's sprawling grounds and encounter remarkable animals from Australia and around the world. Hand-feed kangaroos and wallabies, come face to face with towering giraffes and discover lions, meerkats, primates and many more along the way.
Special Father's Day keeper talks will reveal fascinating stories of fatherhood in the animal kingdom, while optional animal encounters offer the chance to make the day even more memorable.
Whether Dad loves wildlife, adventure or simply spending time with the family, Dad's Day Out brings it all together at Hunter Valley Wildlife Park.
