Tunneling conductance in ferromagnet / unconventional superconductor junctions is studied theoretically as a function of temperatures and spin-polarization in feromagnets. In d-wave superconductor junctions, the existence of a zero-energy Andreev bound state drastically affects the temperature-dependence of the zero-bias conductance (ZBC). In p-wave triplet superconductor junctions, numerical results show a wide variety in temperature-dependence of the ZBC depending on the direction of the magnetic moment in ferromagnets and the pairing symmetry in superconductors such as $p_{x}$, $p_{y}$ and $p_{x}+ip_{y}$-wave pair potential. The last one is a promising symmetry of Sr$_2$RuO$_4$. From these characteristic features in the conductance, we may obtain the information about the degree of spin-polarization in ferromagnets and the direction of the $d$-vector in triplet superconductors.
