These little guys come right up to you. The Wallaby Walkthrough: There’s a huge space to sit and stroll amongst the two types of wallaby in the enclosure. See the young in pouches. It’s lovely to meet such friendly and relaxed animals enjoying human contact. Where else could you feed and stroke a wallaby? The African Village: This is a real treat.
