For the first time in its history, Kyabram Fauna Park will be open to visitors on Good Friday, including its café with meerkat views.
Visitors will be able to roam the 55-hectare park and wetlands, which are home to more than 600 animals, including koalas, cassowaries, Tasmanian devils, wombats, reptiles and birds in walk-through aviaries.
Open spaces canopied by huge gums trees mean there are plenty of pretty locations for a picnics, or enjoy a drink and snack in the glass-wall café while watching the popular meerkat mob.
As the park is part of the Zoos Victoria network, children under 16 years accompanied by a paying adult receive free entry during school holidays, weekends and public holidays, thanks to the Victorian Government’s Kids Visit Free program.
And Zoos Victoria members receive free entry every day of the year to Kyabram Fauna Park, Melbourne Zoo, Werribee Open Range Zoo and Healesville Sanctuary.
Kyabram Fauna Park is open 10am to 5pm daily.
