COMING SOON: Meet the Quokkas at Quokka Nook

Step inside Quokka Nook, a purpose-built habitat for our newest, smiliest residents! Open daily from the 18 September and included with Sanctuary entry, Quokka Nook is home to two of Western Australia’s most famous native animals. Get up close to these vulnerable little marsupials as we help protect their future through the Quokka Species Management Program.

Meet the Quokkas

Australia’s favourite smile

Small, tough and famously cheerful! Quokkas are easy to fall in love with, but theyโ€™re vulnerable in the wild. Visit the Quokkas to learn what makes them so special and how we’re helping protect their future.

Do you know what makes Quokkas look as if theyโ€™re constantly happy? Any idea what their favourite foods are? Or what we can do to protect them? Test your Quokka knowledge at the interactive space! Kids and kids at heart can play, explore and discover what makes Quokkas one of Australia’s most unique native animals.
