Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary on the Gold Coast is a delightful wildlife experience that’s especially great for families and animal lovers. Spread over a beautiful, bushland setting, the sanctuary lets us get up close with iconic Australian animals like kangaroos, lorikeets and koalas in natural-feeling environments. The interactive experiences — feeding friendly birds, watching free-flight bird shows, and wandering through open habitats that feel more immersive than a typical zoo. Especially, the friendly staff and the sense of fun throughout the park. A standout attraction is the Koala Photo experience, where we have a professional photo taken with Koala, one of the adorable native animal — a memorable souvenir of our visit and add a extra magic to our trip. Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary Overall, Currumbin Sanctuary offers a charming and educational day out with wildlife, though some note that certain add-on experiences like the koala photo come at an extra cost

Your Guide to Currumbin Valley

Twenty minutes from the coast, Currumbin Valley runs dark and quiet along a rainforest-fringed creek that most Gold Coast visitors never find. Rock pools, a café with tortoises in the creek out back, wildlife encounters, and enough walking to justify a long lunch on the way home. Here is how to spend a half-day or full day in one of the Hinterland's most rewarding pockets.
