With over 27 hectares of wide-open spaces featuring lush Eucalyptus trees & rainforest, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is a great day out for the young, & young at heart. You will get to see many of Australia’s iconic species displayed in their natural habitat.
We are a for purpose charity that invests all proceeds back in to caring for wildlife, assisting with running our wildlife hospital, & taking part in 15 conservation projects to ensure wildlife for future generations.
Take in a show or two, get up close to some iconic Australian wildlife, cool off at Wild Island Adventure Splash Zone, ride the miniature train, explore the Extinction Trail and visit Lost Valley.
Download the app prior to arrival to plan your day.
A must do is our wild lorikeet feeding. This occurs at 8am and 4pm daily.
Don't forget to meet Blinky Bill, and get a bird’s-eye-view of our vets in action at Currumbin Wildlife Hospital.
There is so much more to explore!

We bought tickets online so we skipped the line and they made us wait in the line
And it was packed so we had to leave without entering the zoo
Thank you

Haven't been to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary for MANY years!! My first trip was back in the early 60's when birdfeeding was the big attraction and there was very little of surburbia surrounding, just a few beach shacks. Probably went again in the early 2000s with my children and returned this year with the grandchildren. WOW!!! What an amazing experience.
SO much to see and do, the children all had an amazing adventure, and enjoyed the Blinky & Betsy Christmas Show. The photos taken were great and good value. The Eagle photo opportunity, I guess they can't always get the birds to spread their wings, so it was a bit disappointing and blah as a photo, but the grandchildren loved getting up close and personal.
IF you are a coeliac, hubby enjoyed a delicious lunch at the cafe at the entrance, which was tasty and filling and not overly expensive. VERY disappointed that Beefys Pies was not open (peak season and start of Qld School Holidays I would have thought they would have been, there was a large group [possibly school holiday programme] who were disappointed when I informed them it wasn't open today). Probably my only criticism is the lack of catering for Coeliacs which is a disease not a dietary choice.
OVERALL as a day out, I highly recommend. Their is a family pass available to make it a little more affordable, and if you have your Seniors Card with you there is a discount.

So disappointing. No warning that the train was not functioning, the kangaroo paddock mostly closed for renovations. Super bossy person doing koala photos treated our US guests like schoolchildren. Embarrassing. Not what it used to be, very commercial.

Not sure what i was expecting but felt a little let down with the day with the amount we paid for a family ticket. Worth the money if you had little people with you using the splash park, dinosaur area and feeding the kangaroos. A lot of walking up and around areas looking for animals. The bird show was good but the train doesn't run when it is on and a lot of people going back on it, was quicker to walk.

This was the highlight of our trip to Australia. Beautiful well loved animals, with staff and volunteers who were very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Photo with the koala was a dream come true and will be remembered forever. We also did the Tree Top Challenge which was ridiculously fun, make sure you book this in if you have the time. All amenities were clean and tidy, and the map was easy to follow. Lorikeet feeding time was a hoot. Normally we avoid gift shops but we found the gift shop here to be full of interesting and great quality items that were well priced too. We will cherish our day here forever!

What a surprise! Have never bothered going here, in all of our trips, but today we decided to give it a go. So glad, beautifully done, lovely setting and healthy, happy animals.

What an amazing experience, big highlight of our trip. Got to see so many animals, feed kangaroos & hold a koala! Best thing is it is all about conservation & not just a zoo!

We knew that we would love the (added) Koala encounter - but it was even more amazing than expected! The whole part is done with quality and care and, after also visiting the (very new and nice) Sydney Zoo, it made us appreciate the opportunity to actually hold the animals even more. This is one of the few places left where you can hold a (wonderfully cared for) Koala - but, with laws changing, this may not be an option for much longer!

This was a highlight of our trip. It was so cool to get close to the birds and have them sit on us and feed from our hands. It was great seeing all the animals and it's the first time I've seen Tasmanian Devils up close. Really good day, it's a really big park so wear good shoes. Loved it all. The food and ice cream was good too.

Nice to see some animals but overpriced. They surcharge for credit card and extra charge for non contactless payment which was not notified
