Finding the park

Featherdale is in Doonside, in Sydney’s west, a few minutes from Blacktown station and the Great Western Highway.

• By train and bus: take the train to Blacktown station, then the 729 bus from stand E outside the station; it stops at the park’s gates after about ten minutes.
• By car: free parking is available outside the park entrance, with an overflow car park next to it.
• Before arrival: leave time for the journey and entry checks so you are ready for your booked slot.

Useful stops along the way

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

• Accessible toilets at the entrance, and baby change tables in each toilet block.
• Shady places to rest along the paths.
• Undercover picnic areas that every visitor can use.
• The Treehouse Café for hot food, sandwiches and drinks.

Travel light, and bring a hat and water on warm days. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

Featherdale is set on a flat 7-acre site with smooth paved paths and shady places to rest, and most enclosures have double-gated entries. Accessible toilets are at the park entrance.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• If you are bringing a stroller, confirm the current arrangements before arrival.
• Mobility equipment, including wheelchairs and walkers, is free to use; reserve it in advance through the park.

Enjoy the park thoughtfully

• Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over.
• Never enter an enclosure, reach into one or throw anything to the animals.
• Smoking, vaping and alcohol are not permitted in the park.
• Assistance dogs must be registered with the park at least 72 hours before your visit.
• Photos and videos are for personal use; commercial photography needs the park’s written permission.
• Follow the signs and the keepers’ instructions.

A little care keeps the animals calm and the park pleasant for everyone.

Make time for a pause

The Treehouse Café at the top of the park serves hot food, sandwiches, ice creams, tea and coffee, and you are welcome to bring a picnic to the undercover picnic areas.

• Stop for breakfast, lunch, a hot drink or refreshments nearby.
• Leave room in your plans to sit down and enjoy the setting.
• Check opening hours and menus on the day; food and drinks are purchased separately.

Bring water with you, especially on warm days.

A few details worth planning

• Book ahead: choose the date, time and places you want to visit before making other plans.
• Keep your QR ticket ready: save it on your phone or bring a printed copy, with any proof needed for reduced admission.
• Start in the right place: follow your ticket’s instructions for entering the park.
• Dress for exploring: comfortable shoes, sun protection and a charged phone make the day easier.
• Leave space to linger: the park suggests around two hours, and more if you want to catch the keeper talks.
