Member Exclusive - Early Risers

Cool, calm summer mornings at your Sanctuary—just for members.

Start your day with the Sanctuary before the crowds arrive. From 2-31 January 2026, members enjoy exclusive early access from 8-9am - an hour before public opening. Beat the heat, wander in the cool morning air, and see wildlife at their most active as keepers begin their day.

Grab a coffee or light breakfast from Candlebark Café, browse the Gift Shop, and enjoy early access to Creek Play and shaded Nature Play, with water features and cooling misters for little explorers - all open early, just for members.

Live nearby? Drop in for a morning wander, rediscover Healesville Sanctuary's hidden gems, and make it the easiest, most refreshing way to start a summer day.
