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).

Biosecurity

To keep our animals safe from disease, please follow these important biosecurity measures:

  • If you are an Australian citizen who has travelled overseas or an international citizen in ANY country outside of Australia, please do not visit the sanctuary for 7 days after your return as per the Victorian Government directive. Please contact us if you have booked a visit and this applies to you.
  • If you have visited a factory/intensive farm do not visit the sanctuary for 7 days.
  • Please ensure your footwear, clothing and equipment is free of any mud, animal manure or other contaminants before visiting.
  • It is essential upon arrival at Edgar’s Mission, that you step on the foot bath at the entrance to ensure your shoes are clean.

Thank you in anticipation of your kindness and cooperation. Please remember that biosecurity is EVERYONE’S responsibility.

Please read our Help Centre regarding diseases and how we are minimising the risk.

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.
