Are you the owner of Maru Koala and Animal Park?
Native Australian species. Our animal park provides a unique and up-close experience with these incredible creatures.
One of the main highlights at Maru is our koala encounter. Visitors have the chance to get up-close and personal with these beloved marsupials, learning about their behaviour, habitat, and conservation efforts from our knowledgeable keepers. Get the chance to touch and hand-feed these iconic Australian animals, while also understanding the importance of their conservation.
In addition to koalas, we also have a wide range of other native Australian animals for you to meet. From cuddly wombats to playful kangaroos, you can interact with these unbelievable creatures and learn about their unique behaviours and adaptations. Our friendly staff are always available to answer any questions and share interesting facts about the animals.
As you make your way through Maru, be sure to stop by Pirate Petes Mini-Golf for some family-friendly fun. Explore the adventurous pirate-themed mini-golf course, complete with life-size pirate figures, as you putt your way through Australian landscapes. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned golfer, there's something for everyone to enjoy on this exciting course.
After working up an appetite, head over to the Homestead Bistro for a delicious meal. Enjoy breakfast or lunch in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, surrounded by beautiful Australian scenery. Our menu features a variety of dishes, including traditional Australian favourites and international cuisine, made with locally sourced ingredients.
Located on the Bass Highway in Grantville, we are conveniently situated just fifteen minutes away from Phillip Island and its famous penguin parade. Maru Koala and Animal Park is the perfect destination for a day trip from Melbourne or a stopover on your way to explore the wonders of Phillip Island.
We also invite you to support our conservation efforts by sponsoring the planting of a tree in our new Eucalyptus plantation. By donating $55, you not only provide food for our koalas but also contribute to the preservation of the local wildlife. The plantation will serve as a natural haven for various species, ensuring their continued well-being.
Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to welcoming you to Maru Koala and Animal Park, where you can experience the beauty of Australian wildlife while promoting their conservation in the wild.
