Established on 7 acres of land originally purchased by Charles and Marjorie Wigg in 1953, Featherdale Wildlife Park has evolved from a poultry farm into one of the best privately own wildlife parks in Australia. The park has a commitment to animal and environmental education. The wildlife education program is well established and very successful. Featherdale Wildlife Park has developed into one of Australia’s finest tourist attractions in Greater Western Sydney and has played an important part in the growth of tourism. Visitors can enjoy learning about the animals and getting to know the inhabitants of the park which include birds, mammals, reptiles, and marsupials. Visitors are also invited to enjoy a one on one personal experience with some of the animals.
