Adventure brief
Birthday Blast
Celebrate a child’s birthday with hands-on animal encounters, a reserved undercover table, and a Bandicoot Brunch at Wing’s Wildlife Park in Gunns Plains. This 3.5-hour package bundles food, feed, and focused staff-led activities into a stress-free outdoor celebration.
Wing’s Wildlife Park in Gunns Plains, Tasmania, offers a Birthday Blast package that turns a child’s party into a hands-on wildlife day. Located at 137 Winduss Rd, Gunns Plains TAS 7315, Australia, the park combines animal encounters, a private undercover eating area called the Devil’s Den, and simple, kid-friendly food into a single 3.5-hour celebration. This experience centers on interactive moments: supervised feedings where each child receives animal feed and fish pellets, close-up introductions to friendly species, and games designed for small groups.
The reserved table in the Devil’s Den gives hosts a defined base from 10:00am to 1:30pm so parents can relax while staff manage the flow of activities. The package includes decorations, a Wing’s Wildlife Park bumper sticker, birthday invitations, and party bags to send guests home with memories. Food leans into classic kids’ favorites with a Bandicoot Brunch—savory snacks, fairy bread, dino nuggets, hot chippies, pop-top juice, and an icy pole.
Pricing is straightforward: $35 per child (ages up to 15), with a minimum fee of $350 if fewer than 10 children attend; a non-refundable $100 deposit secures the booking. One adult receives free admission with the children’s bookings and additional adults get 20% off entry; cake, candles, and any extra decorations are brought by the host. What makes this spot special for visitors is how it blends wildlife education with low-stress logistics.
Gunns Plains is a rural pocket of Tasmania known for limestone caves and wide paddocks; Wing’s brings animals close without turning into a chaotic zoo day. Small groups leave with tactile memories—wet fish pellets, the sticky trail of fairy bread, and photos of children meeting animals at eye level. Practically, the package is family-focused and efficient: full-day admission for each child is included, feed is provided, and staff coordinate encounters so parents can focus on celebrating.
The park confirms bookings within three working days and requires final numbers two working days before the party; balances are due on arrival. Why book this for a Tasmanian trip? If you’re staying in or near Gunns Plains or touring northwest Tasmania and need a celebration that’s outdoors, educational, and uncomplicated, this is one of the few places that packages party logistics, food, and meaningful animal interactions together. It’s an easy way to make a milestone feel adventurous and genuinely memorable without a lot of planning.
Bring the birthday cake and candles, any extra decorations or party favors, and dress children in comfortable clothes that can get dusty after animal interactions. Pack a camera or smartphone for close-up shots; staff can help position animals for photos.
