Highly recommend visiting Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary if you're looking for an authentic Australian wildlife experience on the Gold Coast. The park is well maintained, with plenty of natural bushland that makes it feel more like a nature reserve than a zoo. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the animal encounters are fantastic, you can get up close to pet and feed kangaroos, koalas, colorful lorikeets, and many other native Australian animals. A great day out for families, and visitors wanting an authentic Australian wildlife experience.
Fabulous wildlife encounters - arrived early & enjoyed a coffee and bird feeding before the gates opened. That's a must do for anyone thinking of going - it took me back to my childhood days visiting back in the 90s. Pack swimmers & towels for the family, the water play area and play ground are out of this world. There's a great train ride that takes you through the park and its pram friendly, so all aboard for adventures and exploration! I bought a season pass, I have had about 10 emails about it today so hopefully that stops as its over kill and the website kept kicking me off online trying to purchase before hand however the wait was very little to purchase at the gate.
Really well ran park with lots to do and learn. You can fill your whole days with talks which is what I like to do. All the staff are friendly and informative. The animal hospital is also really interesting being able to watch as the vets work. It is a little expensive when compared to similar experiences such as Lone Pines in Brisbane, which I think is slightly better value for money. Still recommend this if you are in the Gold Coast.
A must visit and an amazingly well run park. All the staff were friendly and more than happy to share their wealth of knowledge about the animals. The park itself is a good size and great for adults and kids alike. Spent a good 4 hours there and would come back. I recommend buying the tickets prior to entering as you can skip the longer line. Also 8-9am is the lorikeet feeding time which is peak excitement!
Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is one of the Gold Coast’s most iconic and memorable attractions, and it’s easy to see why. From the moment you enter, you’re immersed in beautifully maintained grounds filled with native Australian wildlife, lush greenery, and a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. The sanctuary offers an incredible opportunity to get up close with animals such as kangaroos, koalas, wallabies, and a wide variety of birds. The daily shows and animal encounters are well organised, informative, and engaging for all ages, making the experience both educational and entertaining. It’s clear the staff genuinely care about the animals and take pride in conservation and rehabilitation work. One of the highlights is how spacious and natural the environment feels. Walking paths are easy to navigate, signage is clear, and there are plenty of shaded areas to take a break, which is especially appreciated on warmer Gold Coast days. Everything is kept exceptionally clean and well presented, adding to the overall enjoyment of the visit. Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is perfect for families, tourists, and locals alike. Whether it’s your first visit or a return trip, it consistently delivers a high-quality experience that showcases Australia’s unique wildlife in a respectful and engaging way. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Gold Coast — this is a must-see attraction that never disappoints.
