Wallaby Encounters in San Diego
Piper, Taz, and Kiki our Bennett’s Wallabies, are very sweet and call Wild Wonders in San Diego their forever home. In this Wallaby Walkabout Encounter, you’ll accompany one of our keeper / educators into their habitat where you’ll offer them some of their favorite treats. While there, you’ll learn all about them, where they came from, their interesting adaptations and how these adaptations help wallabies be successful in the wild.
You’ll also meet the companions that share their habitat – three fun and inquisitive Patagonian Cavies named Chico, Chalupa, and Chui, aka “The Three Amigos”.

Frequently Asked Questions about our Wallaby Encounter
Will there be other people visiting our wallabies at the same time?
No. Your encounter with the wallabies and the Three Amigos will be exclusively for your group.
What will I get to feed them?
All of our animal ambassadors get “enrichment” every day, and we mix it up. Some of their favorite treats are leaves from the mulberry tree in their habitat.
Do I have to wear anything special to the Wallaby Encounter?
The only thing we require are closed toed shoes. This is because Wallabies are very susceptible to disease, and you will need to dip the bottom of your shoes into an antiseptic bath before entering.
