Great value for money, amazing up close experience with koalas, kangaroos, snakes and birdlife. Easy walking around the zoo even with a baby and stroller. Plenty of places to take a break or have something to eat. Great photo opportunities with the animals and heaps of live shows and demonstrations. Will definetly go back and visit every time we visit... More

Amazing animals up close. Kids will love it. Good value day out with plenty to entertain all ages. Pay a little extra and go on the Segway tour. Great tour guide and lots of fun.

We enjoyed the park which was a great experience yet were disappointed and surprised that the park gets involved with The holiday club, who try to swindle you into signing up for their timeshare scam. Our daughter scratched and so called won a flat screen TV, $2000 or a weeks holiday. We only needed to pay $20 and attend a... More

This is an expensive place to visit, only worth a few hours visit. Having said that you can go to bird feedings for free. Kids will love the miniature train around the sanctuary and a great playground which is all about wildlife. There's a few presentations you can attend, and a great section to interact with emus and kangaroos.

Took the family here in January 2013. Loved it. The children were able to see and touch the animals up close (kangaroo feeding). We were able to explain to them about the Australian wildlife and see it up close. The bird show was beautiful, the crock was.... well.... Holy Smoke and the shows with birds, wildlife was just great. The... More

I was lucky enough to find a voucher on Living Social for this park which gave me discounted entry. I think if i had paid full price for entry I would have been unimpressed. The positives of my experience at Currimbin were the ground itself (nicely spaced out, markings on the signs to indicate steepness etc) and the animals themselves.... More

The sanctuary is a fantastic way to see Australia's native animals. The volunteer were very friendly and helpful and the free-flight bird show was amazing! That being said it is incredibly expensive for what it is and if I had a family, it definitely would not be worth the cost of taking them!

What a great day out for family members of all ages. we took an overseas visitor and he was amazed at the action packed hands on experience he was given. Relaxed, fun and informative. Also the animal hospital is an amazing facility, great to be able to actually see them at work.

You find 2x1 tickets on groupon or on the entertraiment book. The map is not the best. Hard to understand where you are in the... More
