We had a wonderful day and the kids thought it was the bees knees. Seeing the eagle during the bird show was so moving, I cried!
We did the koala encouter where you could hold "Emily" and get a photo with her. The kids were enamoured. Bella was the perfect host for this experience. It was clear she deeply cares about the animals and everything she did was with exceptional customer service, while still making sure that Emily was comfortable, safe and happy. We felt very lucky to have this special encounter.
Emma was also a wonderful, friendly, fun faciliator and we could not have asked more a more enjoyable and memorable moment as a family.
Thank you Bella, Emma & the whole Currumbin team!

不要来!!! Absolutely not worth!!!!!
1 体验感 : 这是我在澳洲去过的最小的野生动物园,一点新意都没有,动物太少了,袋鼠和鸟 还有其他,都没我去的农场多。收费项目特别多,很夸张,和考拉合照的价格比其他动物园都贵。整个园区走1小时就逛完了 非常无聊。我认为园区是没有好好维护的。里面非常破,到处在修建,很多展馆还关门了。纯纯的野生感吧。
2 性价比:考虑到维护野生动物园的成本很高,票价我觉得合理,但是真的非常不值得 非常不推荐。我认为这个项目对任何一个看过很多野生动物的成年人完全没有价值,适合小朋友亲子游,纯周末散步吧。
3 流程&服务:工作人员为了售卖官方的照片,不让同行的人站一个好点的机位拍照,这也是第一次遇到。
**1. Experience:**
This is by far the smallest wildlife park I’ve visited in Australia, and unfortunately, there was nothing new or interesting about it. There were simply too few animals. Even the kangaroos, birds, and other animals here were fewer than what I’ve seen at some farms I’ve visited.
There are also an excessive number of paid add-ons, which I found quite ridiculous. Even the price for a photo with a koala was more expensive than at other wildlife parks and zoos.
The entire park can be walked through in about an hour, and honestly, it was extremely boring. I also felt that the park was not well maintained. The facilities looked quite run-down, there was construction going on everywhere, and many of the exhibits were closed.
It definitely has a very “wild” feel — perhaps a little too wild.
**2. Value for Money:**
Considering that maintaining a wildlife park is expensive, I think the ticket price itself is reasonable. However, the experience was simply **not worth it**, and I would definitely not recommend it.
For an adult who has already visited many wildlife parks and seen plenty of Australian wildlife, I honestly don’t think there is much value here. I think it’s more suitable for families with young children, or simply as a casual weekend walk.
**3. Process & Service:**
One thing that really bothered me was that the staff wouldn’t allow people traveling together to stand in a good spot to take photos, apparently because they wanted us to purchase the official photos instead. This was honestly the first time I’ve ever encountered something like this.

Bird & wildlife magic
Stunning grounds, animals & enclosures.
I loved the bird show it was truly magical & interactive.
Great little train ride around park & very helpful volunteers scattered all around the park.

Amazing place
This is the best place to get up and close with Australia's native animals. Definitely prepurchase your entry ticket so you can skip the line at the park. Plus it's cheaper buying on Viator.

Should have better booking process - didn’t acknowledge TripAdvisor booking at first
Generally good experience but poor experience in the front gate acknowledging the booking. Had to stand in a separate line to find the booking.

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary with Kids: The Best Wildlife Experience in Australia
We have visited a few wildlife sanctuaries across Australia. Currumbin is on a different level.
It does not feel like a zoo. It feels like the Australian bush, and the animals just happen to be there with you. Everything about it is designed with kids in mind. There are playgrounds throughout, a train that loops the whole sanctuary with a dedicated pram container, and enough to keep small kids busy for a full day.
The koalas alone are worth the trip. We have never seen them this active anywhere else. Jumping, eating, cuddling, with joeys chasing their mums. So many of them and so close.
The Blinky Bill stage show was a highlight we did not expect. Our daughter stood and danced the entire way through it. She left very seriously committed to finding a bin for her rubbish and letting go of balloons for good.
The staff were exceptional. One was mid-feed at the Koala Habitat and still patiently answered every single one of our daughter’s questions. That kind of care is hard to find.
We visited during the June promotion where adults paid kids prices online. Worth checking if something similar is running when you go.
One of the best days we have had as a family. Go

Nice to see the Roos and...
Nice to see the Roos and koalas, but the Roos don’t seem happy there. Very sad and lethargic, and lots of them in a small space. Tons of people feeding them, and most of them didn’t respond to the food. Also a line of people waiting to hold some of koalas that seemed to be paraded like toys for pics/$, which is also tough to watch.

A fantastic place to experience Australian wildlife up close. Great for families, couples, and international visitors wanting to see native Australian animals.

Fun for a few hours
Best to buy tickets direct online as it is a lot cheaper than any other site I found. The park map is very confusing and I found the in park maps were also not that easy to read. What would be great is where there is a map putting a simple you are here sticker would be very good. Once we found our way to the kangaroos we sound the majority of the animals here and the lost valley. The food was pretty average but we just needed something. There are opportunities to feed and Pat certain animals which is good fun. For those who are game you can also do the tree top challenge where you fly through the park and see the animals from a different spot. Heaps of parking available across the road

Fantastic experience with one exception.
We were staying in the area for 12 days so we joined the National Trust at the Sanctuary kiosk. There was an offer for joining and with the 4 visits we made to the Sanctuary we saved $$$. With the exception of one part of the Sanctuary (that I shall mention in a second) we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Which is one of the reasons why we kept coming back 4 times within 12 days, although each visit was only between 1 and 3 hours. We did go to the WildSkies Free-Flight Bird Show. While it was great to see the birds the event was spoilt by the dramatic loud background music that drowned out what the two female presenters were saying. I heard about half, my wife less so of what they said. I have no idea who thought it was a good idea to have the music as loud as it was while the presenters were enthusiastically trying to deliver interesting facts about the bird wildlife that was on show. This I found disappointing as we really wanted to hear the interesting facts about the Birds there. Afterwards I did mention this to a member of staff who said they would mention it to management. For this reason I can only give 4 stars mainly because the Bird Show is presented and pushed on to visitors as a must see event within the Sanctuary.
