Went there today. Had a great time. The bird show was excellent with staff explaining things so well. (Although sometimes I was wishing there was no background music. As a hearing impaired person, it sometimes drowned out the talking). Later we went to the Lorikeet feeding, amazing if you don’t mind birds landing on you. Had 2 on my head, another came and landed on my hand which I was able to get a good selfie with it. But absolutely loved our day there.

The wildlife sanctuary was fantastic. Really enjoyed the interaction with the kangaroos, the bird show, and holding the koala. All the workers and volunteers were great too (shout out to Helen!).

Parking is 10 dollars and is opposite the wildlife sanctuary or you can try and find street parking. Admission was worth it when you considered the included train ride and shows. High ropes course is extra. I enjoyed seeing the bilbies, koalas and eels and pelicans and dinosaurs. The llamas and guinea pigs were also cute. We spent 4 hours here and the sanctuary is well signed. The map has been updated also.

This was a last-minute decision to go here as both my sisters have been here before, it didn't disappoint. It was easy to get around, shaded and the train ride added to all sorts of disabilities and even an area for parents with prams. The only negative is you have to pay for the carpark as well. Highlight: The bird show.

Nice place with a pretty walk. Great to see koala so close and the salt water croc was huge! We went from 10am to around 1pm and saw about 4 lorikeets. Very disappointing. Really poor to have bird feeding at 8am and 4pm. Nothing like it used to be. Terrible completely useless map too. Overall, not great value for money and don’t go if you expect to feed lots of birds (unless you go early or late).

This had to be one of the best days out on the Gold Coast (although we have had an amazing time at lots of places) - what a beautiful sanctuary with so much to do. We had such a wonderful day out. You can see how well cared for the wildlife are here. So many koalas and there are kangaroos to interact with (just need to buy a $4 bag of food from the kiosk located near by). Our 11 year old was desparte to hold a koala and having read some of the reviews online about the long wait time, we came prepared to wait. Tip: if you go to the 12.30 session, and are prepared to line up early, I would suggest start to line up at 12pm and then you only wait for 30 mins as they are pretty fast once the photo sessions open up after lunch. Holding the koala was actually worth the wait, so darn cute and really great photo keep sakes. Yes it is very pricey but we were comforted in the fact that the money goes back to the Sanctuary not some big corporate. You can also opt for Zip lining - it looked awesome - we didnt do it though because everyone was a bit tired from our adventures prior to this. Was neat seeing all the older volunteers around the place and I love the conservation story of this place. Well worth every $$ spent.

Such a rip off .. what a disappointing experience. Costs alot to get in $64 and $10 parking … but fair enough the center needs to take care of these gorgeous animals. Unfortunately, and not that anyone will tell you once you’ve paid entry, if you wanna hold the koala be prepared to stand in line for more than an hour in the sun only to find out that you have been standing in line to pay $49 more … and then after they rudely extort the $49 .. you will stand in line an additional 20 min. before getting anywhere near the koala. And if you think you’ll have more than 30 seconds holding the koala .. well you’ll be disappointed cause the handler rudely tells you she doesn’t have time to let your family also take a picture of you. One good thing, at least when you pay $49 to hold the koala .. there is actually an electric fan there to cool the cashier. And the kangaroos are amazing .. but you’ll need to pay $4 for a small bag of food 🤦‍♀️. Go to Lone Pine .. may be further but a much better day.

Great place to see the kangaroos and other wildlife. All animals are friendly, and the people working there are great. Welle worth the visit.

We strolled around for about 2.5hrs and also went to the bird show which was awesome - would recommend. We weren’t sure if this would be worth it as we read mixed reviews, but there were lots of cool animals to see and it felt like pretty much all the enclosures were full. The staff were all really friendly, and for most of the enclosures etc you were shaded under trees so it wasn’t too hot.

wow. seeing all the animals close up was spectacular. loved taking pictures holding the koalas. the bird show is a must see
