Devils@Cradle
A sanctuary dedicated to conserving the Tasmanian devil; daytime guided tours and night feeding sessions let you watch devils and quolls feed up close.
The sanctuary is located on the Cradle Mountain road near the park entrance and takes part in breeding conservation for the Tasmanian devil facial tumour disease. It keeps Tasmanian devils, eastern quolls and spotted-tailed quolls. Several guided tours run each day, with guides explaining the animals' habits and conservation status. The most popular is the night feeding session after dusk, where you can watch devils tearing at bones and fighting over food. There is an admission fee, and booking on the official website is recommended. After the night tour, watch for wildlife on the road when driving.
Opening hours
Approx. 10:00–17:00; night feeding tours sold separately (check official site)
