Go there, it’s awesome
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!
See many animals (Tasmania devils, red panda, very cute Koala with their babies, etc.). Staffs are friendly. And we also love the bird show.
Thank you for your review, Donnyt! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed seeing so many of our amazing animals. It's also wonderful to know that our friendly team and the Wild Skies Bird Show helped make your visit so memorable. We hope to welcome you back to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary again soon!

Lots to see
We had a really good day - around 5 hours exploring this park. Loved seeing all the animals, especially the birds in the bird show. Found the signage a little confusing and took a bit longer to get to where we wanted to go. The mini train was a fun experience.
