Even though the not-for-profit conservation facility in the Barrington Tops already conducts small private tours each month, president Tim Faulkner hopes to encourage more people to join their crusade by making the premises available throughout January.
During the school holidays, Aussie Ark welcomes locals and visitors alike to meet some of Australia's most endangered species.
"We were completely blown away by the response last year and can't wait to open up again for round two," Mr Faulkner said.
"I believe it is so important to show our supporters exactly what it is we do at Aussie Ark.
"And, what better way to do that than have them come by?
"The doors are only open for a limited time from January 1 to 28.
"People can visit the facility from 10am until 2pm every day with tours running at 10.30am, 11.30am and 12.30pm sharp."
The vision of Aussie Ark is to establish a robust insurance population of Australian threatened, native mammal species and release them into sanctuaries protected from unnatural threats.
While on the tour, it has been guaranteed that visitors will see and encounter Tasmanian devils in their wild enclosures.
With 69 Tasmanian devil joeys born last year alone, guests will be able to have encounters with the joeys.
Visitors will also be able to see Eastern quolls which have been extinct on mainland Australia since 1963 and sadly can now only be found in the wild in Tasmania.
Aussie Ark has successfully been breeding quolls at its Barrington Tops facility for the last three years.
The facility is also home to rare and endangered parma wallabies, bandicoots, brush-tailed rock-wallabies, and bettongs.
Escape to the remoteness of Aussie Ark just for the day, or make it a weekend adventure with a friend or the whole family.
Tickets to visit Aussie Ark during January are $35 per adult, $15 a child and $90 for a family, available at the door or online via Eventbrite.
