Exploring the lush bushland of the Blue Mountains is a glorious experience.

However, we’ve made it a bit easier for you, listing our top favorite family-friendly attractions in the Blue Mountains, so everyone leaves happy!

Featherdale Wildlife Park

It doesn’t matter what age you are; Featherdale Wildlife Park is a true gem to visit. Featuring an array of local native wildlife, this park is conveniently just outside the Blue Mountains region. Making for the perfect stopover on the way from the big city. The park is jam-packed with natural bush, incredible enclosures, and friendly wildlife to make the whole family happy!
