Zoodoo Wildlife Park

Zoodoo Wildlife Park is situated some 6 km from Richmond and covers a total area of 90 acres of farmland. This was originally an Ostrich Farm and a Miniature Pony Stud but was later opened to the public in 1999. It first started with very few animals, but now, it is one of the biggest wildlife parks in Tasmania.

At present, Zoodoo Wildlife Park offers a wide range of local, agricultural and foreign animals and in fact, it offers something for everyone. You can get closer to the animals you love and the park has recently added Bengal Tigers in 2008 and in 2009 some African Lions.
