Wallaby Walkabout is situated within Familiar Friends and enables you to get really close to our wallabies. Enjoy walking around this Australian themed exhibit!
It currently houses a number of male Bennett’s wallabies, which are also known as the red-necked wallaby, because of the red-tinted fur on the back of its neck and shoulders.
Our wallabies are very friendly, often stopping to sunbathe on the paths and inspect any passing visitors!
