This tour was wonderful! Be advised that if you want to hold a koala, you need to schedule early. We were able to get the last spot to have a picture taken with the koala. as the tourist season approaches, I’m sure it will be more difficult to schedule those when you get there. We went into the bird exhibit which was very fun. Bird would come and sit on your shoulder. We did buy for a minimal amount some food for them, when took a little nibble on my finger and the first aid at the desk was great. We ate lunch at the restaurant and had the Barramundi was delicious. My husband and I both got it because they were out of the fish and chips. I was never so excited to find out that they were out of something because this was I’m sure far better. The only problem we had was that we took an Uber from Cairns and we’re not able to find an Uber to take us back. We were able to get a rideshare with the help of some amazing women at the visitor center. I would highly recommend this.

This is a lovely sanctuary which shows the best of Australia’s indigenous species. The Koala bears are just adorable!

We have family travelling from India. The experiences were personal and friendly. We had a great time.

Great place. Not huge but doesn't need to be. Hugged a koala and fed some roos! Lots of different animals to see so I'd recommend a visit. Birds and butterflies also worth a visit. Combine it with the train ride if you have time.

carol_m

we got to feed some of the animals. also got my picture taken holding a koala. the place is small enough so you can see everything in a short amount of time

Loved being able to cuddle a koala and hold a python. The exhibits were good and lots to see. Would advise to go to Birdworld earlier in the day, by the time we got there they had run out of food and we didn't get the same close up experience that we saw others have there that had been able to get food.

The bird world was kinda sad. The birds have very little space to move around. We thought it would be little more open.

We went to both Birdworld and Koala Gardens. Was a little disappointed in Koala Gardens as you would expect it to be full of Koalas. Unfortunately its not, you do see around 7 Koalas in various exhibits which are very cute. There is a lot of other animals which makes it more than a Koala Garden and probably needs re-naming. They have wallabies, kangaroos, crocodiles, snakes, lizards and a few other animals. There is more emphasis on getting your photo taken with a Koala, which I believe you really need to book as early as you can. Even though I was a bit disappointed, this exhibit is still worth a visit. We also went into Bird world, which was really fun. Having all the birds free to fly and poop on you. The macaws, cassowary, lorikeets, ducks, and so many more to see and let settle on your arm, head. Don't worry if you don't have seed for them, look around in the feeders and grab a handful. Probably much preferred the bird world to Koala garden as it stayed true to its name. Highly recommended while your at Kuranda.

Better price than at the ticket window. Koalas were cute. Birds were very active and quite entertaining.

Loved being able to see the koalas up so close. Had never fed birds and they were intriguing to watch eat. Very clean in both places
