Fun time feeding animals! - We had a great time at Kuranda koala gardens, Birdworld and the Butterfly Sanctuary. We really enjoyed feeding the animals and taking our photo with the Koala (Paul). Only thing that would have made it better is if we could also have actually held him rather than just pat his backside side. We also did not plan transportation properly and so had to get to kuranda by uber which cost 55. Than on the return taxis were not available and Ubers would not come. Bus was also full. We eventually leaned of a rideshare service who finally agreed to get us and the return back cost 100. So my advice is make sure you either have a car or reserved ride there and back if you don’t take the train or skyrail. But had a great time other than the transportation issue and highly recommend a visit to Kuranda !

Kuranda Railway, Koala Garden - Koala Garden was a great place to photograph koalas. It was just a shame I couldn't hold him. The kangaroos were also fed free and conscientious.

Very nice tours - All the exhibits were nice. Butterflies were just ok, no big ones. Photos with koalas are included!!

Multipass experience pass at Kuranda - Nice to have the multi experience ticket as it eliminated the waiting lines and with the ticket you could go in and out as you pleased innumerable times

Aussie animals at close quarters. - Excellent viewing of a lot of the Aussie animals, birds and butterflies! Encounter with a koala was precious. Can be done in about 2-3 hours and then enjoy a very quaint village in the rainforest.

Great fun - I loved my visit to the Koala Gardens! There were so many animals and reptiles to see; I was lucky enough to get a koala cuddling photo with little Kiki which was so fun! The staff were so pleasant and spammed my phone with photos of myself and Kiki, as well as taking a professional photo for me. I loved being able to interact with the wallabies and hand feed them.

Awesome Experience - This place exceeded my expectations! As an Australian tourist, I was’t super excited at the idea of seeing Koalas for $20 but we purchased the combo pass which included entry to this place. The Koala Gardens actually have heaps of native Australian animals including Kangaroos, Wallabies, Snakes, Wombats and Crocodiles. We were also able to feed the Wallabies which was really cool. I really enjoyed visiting and would highly recommend for anyone visit Kuranda.

Amazing animals - The caretakers were so considerate of the animals. Really lovely to see. Very caring and extremely clean.

Best Koala experience - Got to touch a koala since not all experiences allow you to touch one. The care takers are dedicated and loving to the koalas… it shows and the koalas reciprocate by showing trust, giving nose kisses to their care givers.

Kuranda is not mobility accessible - So many lies about being accessible. The "easy" 1.2km walk from the railway station is uphill all the way. The koala and birdworld are down a hill too steep to meet ADA standards with no disable parking. The koala "sanctuary" isn't wheelchair friendly. The birdworld forces wheelchairs to stay at the entrance platform and is a steep hill for those that walk. The butterfly sanctuary is also inaccessible to wheelchairs as the walkways are undulating, uneven and narrow. The rude response from the ticket sales woman when I said it isn't accessible was "it is accessible, who isn't it accessible to?" My response was anyone who can't walk more than 50 meters and especially with that sloped path being the only way in. There is no bus, there are no taxis so if you can't walk over a kilometre up hill you'll be stuck at the train station. The skyrail was great but if you need a wheelchair you'll need to be able to walk to step into the gondola and have a folding chair. So if you're going to Kuranda know the town isn't accessible friendly. Our trip to Kuranda on the railway (excellent, wheelchair accessible friendly and worth the effort) was saved only by Max from 1300 Rideshare when we got to the town.
