About Us
MUCH MORE THAN A ZOO
Known for years as 'Hunter Valley Zoo,' we re-named the park ‘Hunter Valley Wildlife Park’ in 2021, REFLECTING OUR MISSION TO GO beyond the traditional zoo setting.
Encompassing expansive grounds, we diligently care for over 200 animals, contributing significantly to the preservation of their populations threatened by habitat destruction worldwide.
Thanks to Australian Wildlife Parks, Hunter Valley Wildlife Park is now a big part of the Hunter Region community. People from all over Australia and even the world come to visit.
Hunter Valley Wildlife Park is committed to taking care of animals and teaching people about them. With the help of Australian Wildlife Parks, the park has upgraded facilities and developed and partnered in more programs. This makes the park an important place for locals and tourists who want to learn about and protect the environment.
Zookeeper Chad loves the animals in the Hunter Valley Wildlife Park and works hard to connect visitors with them. The park shows how nature, community, and education can all work together.
