Visit the Sanctuary

We love visitors! To give you the best experience, all visits require bookings in advance.

Tour Information

Edgar’s Mission is located in beautiful Lancefield in Victoria, Australia.

Sanctuary tours are fun and informative, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions. We are not a petting zoo, but you’ll have the chance to interact with the animal residents if they choose.

Bookings are essential and tours fill up fast, so please book early to avoid disappointment! Tours operate from September to June (as Winter is muddy and chilly).

International and interstate visitors please email us to check availability (if date is sold out) or to book in advance.

After booking, we’ll send a confirmation email with information for your visit. If you do not receive this email, please contact us. 

Biosecurity is everyone’s responsibility. If you have been overseas, please do not visit the sanctuary for 7 days after your return as per the Victorian Government directive.
