EXPERIENCE wildlife close up during the school holidays at Bimbimbie Wildlife Park, a place the whole family can enjoy.
Bimbimbie is located just out of Emerald and only a 15 minute drive from Pakenham.
It is a hidden sanctuary set in beautiful surroundings offering the perfect destination for a family day out.
The park is home to a wonderful array of native animals such as kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, wombats and dingoes plus reptiles and many birds.
It also houses friendly farm animals which are just waiting for a pat and a cuddle.
Visitors can wander through some of the enclosures and hand feed the kangaroos, wallabies and deer.
The park allows for a lot of interaction and visitors can even get close to lizards and snakes at the reptile show at 2pm each day during the school holidays.
Other added attractions during the holidays include ceramic painting, interactive puppet shows and pony rides, depending on the weather.
Families can either bring their own lunch and enjoy the three hectares of picnic area with wood barbecues or taste some of the family treats in the tearooms.
Bimbimbie is once again running its popular Ranger for the Day program these school holidays.
The children get to stay at the park for the day and participate in various activities to do with the care of wildlife.
The program for seven to nine-year-olds is on Wednesday, 10 January and for 10 to 12-year-olds on Thursday, 18 January.
For more information or to book call 5942 7238.
Bimbimbie, at 523 Paternoster Road, Mt Burnett, is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 5pm.
