Kuranda Koala Gardens

3269 reviewsAbout
This award-winning boutique-style wildlife experience, Kuranda Koala Gardens, is in Kuranda Village right at the Heritage Markets. This is the only place in Kuranda village where you can enjoy the 'Pat a Koala' opportunity. A fee applies and this includes a digital souvenir photo. Friendly python photo is also option for an extra cost.
Also visit Kuranda's only walk in Noctarium, called 'Nocturnal Wonders' and discover rare species including bettongs, bilbies and gliders. Meet tame wallabies, see wombats, freshwater crocodiles, lizards and more. Visit the 'Pioneer Display' that depicts some of the early history of the owners' family in the Kuranda region.
It's a great attraction for those with limited time in the region (if you have more time, they also recommend visits to Hartley's Crocodile Adventures). Kuranda Koala Gardens is also part of the 'Kuranda Wildlife Experience'. This combines Kuranda Koala Gardens, Birdworld and the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary.
These are ideal for independent travellers and small groups.

It was great to see so many animals at the Kuranda Koala Gardens. We enjoyed seeing koalas, wallabies, crocodiles, pythons, Hawks, and nocturnal animals in the special area for animals active in darkness. This facility offers photos with pythons and koalas. We did not get those, but enjoyed observing others getting their photos taken. Two of the four koalas were sleeping so we didn't see much activity, but it was nice to view them. We also bought pellets to feed a wallaby, and that was really cool.

A great animal park! It may be small, but there is a lot of see, and the opportunity to have a photo taken with a koala can’t be beat. The exhibits were all nice and provided a nice place for the animals. The kangaroo feeding area was a lot of fun as well. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and willing to take the time to answer questions.

Koalas galore. Koalas active. Koalas sleeping. Koalas eating! ⭐️코알라!! 귀여워! ⭐️ Wallabies, crocs, lizards, and kangaroos to feed as well. Loved being so up close to the koalas, the sanctuary treats the animals well. There are guides who give educational talks on the different animals throughout the day. Many opportunities to grab good photos with the animals you otherwise wouldn’t see up close in the wild. Worth the ticket price.

This was nice, very small and could be rushed through and I can imagine very busy.. the upside is once you paid you can re-entre as many times as you like during your visit in Kuranda village.
