Highlights
- Kuranda Koala Gardens - Start your self-guided wildlife encounter at Kuranda Koala Gardens.
At the gardens, you’ll get up-close to freshwater crocodiles and have the chance to feed kangaroos and wallabies. Feeding the kangaroos and wallabies is conducted under supervision from the amazing team at the gardens and the animals have the freedom to accept the food you are offering or go and relax ~ being a kangaroo is tough work!. You’ll also see the elusive wombats
- these sleepy, shy animals are the world’s largest burrowing mammals and aren’t often seen in the wild, so don’t miss them! You also have the opportunity to see the rare Greater Bilby, the Northern Bettong, Mahogany Glider and more in the new ‘Nocturnal Wonders’ exhibit.
- Birdworld Kuranda - While at Kuranda Koala Gardens, you’ll receive your ticket for Birdworld, where Australia’s largest flock of free-flying birds awaits! Just a short walking distance from the Koala Gardens, this massive flight aviary is landscaped with water features and rainforest plants, home to more than 80 species of native and rare birds.
Spot cassowaries, increasingly rare in the wild, as well as bowerbirds, parrots, lorikeets, cheeky cockatoos and other Australian birds. You’ll also see international visitors such as South American macaws.

Cute, educational and fun - This is a lovely sanctuary which shows the best of Australia’s indigenous species. The Koala bears are just adorable!

Go early and line up for photos early. - 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.

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

Up close and personal - 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

A great animal sanctuary. - We had such a great time! We were a bit weary after reading some reviews but we honestly had such a great time! It was really well taken care of & everything was accessible and set out so well. It’s a small animal sanctuary, don’t go in expecting a city zoo, it’s not… but it is great.

Worth a Visit - 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.

delightful birds and koalas. - 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.
