Tasmanian Devil Unzoo

Tasmanian Devil Unzoo is a wildlife-focused attraction at Taranna on the Tasman Peninsula in south-eastern Tasmania. Located on Arthur Highway between Hobart and Port Arthur, it presents Tasmanian devils and other native species in a bushland setting without traditional cages. Notable for its conservation work with the endangered Tasmanian devil, the Unzoo combines wildlife viewing, native gardens and interactive presentations to interpret Tasmania's natural environment.

Visitors can expect an open, bushland wildlife park designed as an 'unzoo' without conventional cages, where native habitat is the enclosure. Explore eucalypt forest tracks, native botanical gardens and viewing hides to see Tasmanian devils, kangaroos, wallabies, pademelons and native birds. Attend keeper presentations and devil feedings, join guided tours, observe birds of prey and participate in interactive experiences focused on conservation and Tasmanian natural history.

Originally established as Tasmanian Devil Park in the late 1970s, the site was redeveloped and rebranded as Tasmanian Devil Unzoo in 2013 by owner John Hamilton to create an immersive, cage-free wildlife experience focused on conservation of the endangered Tasmanian devil following population decline from Devil Facial Tumour Disease.

The Unzoo contributes to conservation and public education about the Tasmanian devil, an endemic and iconic species of Tasmania, and interprets Tasmanian natural heritage through native flora, fauna and landscape, supporting breeding and awareness programs for the species.
