With over 1000 native animals, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is home to one of the largest collections of Australian wildlife in the world. Established over 60 years ago, the sanctuary has attracted millions of visitors and continues to promote opportunities to get closer and interact with Australia’s amazing wildlife. Set amongst 28 hectares of lush Eucalyptus and rain forest, visitors can see many of Australia’s iconic species on display in their natural habitat. There are many interactive opportunities throughout the sanctuary where you can cuddle a koala, feed a kangaroo, or hold a baby crocodile or snake.
Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary has 13 daily shows including shows like Blinky Bill & his friends, the Free Flight Bird Show, Australiana Sheep Shearing Show, Dr. Doo-Lots and the Creature Teachers and the Yugambeh Aboriginal Dancers. Other notable highlights include the feeding of Boss Hog, a saltwater crocodile almost 5 metres in length, the cassowaries, wombats, Tasmanian devils, forest fringe birds and koalas.
Included in the admission price is the Wildlife Hospital Precinct where you can watch the vets in action. Dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of not only the local wildlife at the sanctuary, the wildlife hospital admits over 8500 animal patients brought in by the local community annually.
Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is a non-profit organisation with all proceeds reinvested back into the sanctuary, hospital and into conservation based research.
*The price includes a precious koala photo with a value of $25. It is also possible to just book the entrance to Currumbin for $40.
