Can I hold a koala in NSW?

Only trained and accredited zookeepers are allowed to hold a koala.

It is illegal for members of the general public to hold koalas in New South Wales. However, a koala photo experience at the Australian Reptile Park can get you as close as possible to these cute marsupials!

Under the guidance of an experienced zookeeper, you can get up close for a pat and smile for the camera so you can remember the experience for years to come.
