Walking tour

As the sun sets and the stars appear, Parramatta Park transforms with the sights and sounds of its nocturnal wildlife.

Join our educators for a Spotlight Tour and experience the park as day turns to night, when some animals settle in to sleep and others begin to stir.

  • Watch as diurnal birds find their roosts for the night.
  • Look out for Tawny Frogmouths, possums, and maybe even a longfin eel.
  • Witness thousands of Grey-Headed Flying Foxes take flight, filling the night sky as they head out to feed and socialise.

 

This tour is ideal for families, nature lovers, and curious minds of all ages.
