Wild Encounters Mini Zoo, the small zoo with the big heart!

We’re a small, zoo licenced animal facility based just outside Newcastle West, home to a range of exotic and domestic animals.

Wild Encounters allows visitors to see a great range of exotic animals in a safe and friendly environment. From snakes, tarantulas and lizards in our Reptile House to the meerkats and parrots, and not forgetting all our friendly critters down on Fitz's Farm!

With Keeper talks on at various times throughout the day; pizza, coffee and other drinks and snacks available from our entrance building along with a play area for the kids, there's enough here for a great time to be had by all! Birthday parties, school trips and special private hands on experiences also available to book alongside general admission entry.
