A must-do is the wild lorikeet feeding! This occurs at 8am and 4 pm and is a great way to start or finish your day.

Visit to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary

Highly Recommend. Great morning out and easy to navigate between the various areas/animals. The train was out of action when we visited, on a hot day not ideal, but it did help to get our steps up! Enjoyed the many options to get involved with the encounters and experiences, these were all rewarding and thoroughly enjoyed. The team taking the koala photos were all friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend booking the early timeslot (0930) if wanting to hold a koala to beat the queues and the heat. Better yet, the sanctuary is a not-for-profit organization so all proceeds go back to the wildlife sanctuary and nursing for the animals. Would 100% visit again!

Great sanctuary

Other than the semi confusing layout, really liked the place. Very big, nice to walk around. Good food options. Informative conservation and animal (Koala and Devil) talks.

Wonderful for all ages

Have to do the wild lorikeets at 8am or 4pm. Don’t even need to have a ticket for the park, just a gold coin donation. Park is suitable for all ages and has a train to get around which we found good in the heat. Koalas a highlight
