Tasmanian Devil Unzoo

From 09:00 · Every dayAllow around two hours; the last devil feeding is at 17:00 (16:30 May–September)

Allow time to explore before closing. Your ticket shows your date and entry time.

Finding the Unzoo

The Unzoo is at Taranna on the Tasman Peninsula, about a 75-minute drive south-east of Hobart on the way to Port Arthur, which lies about 10 km further south.

• By car: follow the Arthur Highway from Hobart towards Port Arthur; Taranna is about 75 minutes’ drive.
• Combining visits: Port Arthur is about 10 km further south, so many visitors see both in a day.
• 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:

• Coffee and light refreshments at reception.
• A gift store with Tasmanian books, clothing and souvenirs.
• Maps and checklists of the birds and plants, and an adventure guide for children, from reception.
• A waterfront platform over Norfolk Bay, with binoculars.

Bring layers and a raincoat: the weather on the peninsula can change quickly. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

The Unzoo is an outdoor site in natural bushland, with walks between the devil habitats, the kangaroo field and the waterfront. Accessibility details are not published, so check arrangements for your needs before travelling.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• If you are bringing a stroller, confirm the current arrangements before arrival.
• Ask Unzoo staff for assistance or directions during your visit.

Enjoy the Unzoo thoughtfully

• Follow your guide and the keepers’ instructions, and keep to the paths.
• Hand-feed the kangaroos and birds only during the feeding sessions, as the keepers show you.
• Many of the animals here are wild and come and go freely: give them space.
• Supervise children throughout your visit.
• Feeding and presentation times may change with the weather and the seasons.

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

Make time for a pause

Reception serves good coffee and light refreshments. For a meal, the Tasman Peninsula has other places to eat, including at Port Arthur about 10 km to the south.

• 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.
