We went to Currumbin because both my wife and I had memories of visiting it when we were teenagers years ago and having the lorikkets feed from our hands back when it was only a bird sanctuary. So when we took teenage children to the Gold Coast for the theme park adventure, well they had to endure Currumbin as well.... More

My wife and I attended the night show called "Yanguwah" and were totally blown away by the intensity of it all. We loved the walk through the wild life sanctuary in the dark, the exciting aboriginal dances and the awesome tent where we had an aboriginal-style dinner. We also had the chance to hold a koala and take a photo... More

What a fabulous evening, feeding kangaroos, cuddling koalas, holding cute baby crocodiles and walking in the beautiful gardens. The beautiful sounds of the didgeridoo and Aborigine dances as well as Torres Straight Islanders dances were a cultural delight. Bravo to the chef's for the fantastic meal, well done...!! More

The bird feeding at 4.30 is great and as a tip you don't have to pay to get in to do this, it's free admission into that part of the park, make a donation, grab a plate and feed the birds which is a lot of fun but take a hooded jumper, they land on your head and poo on... More

This is such a great day out - much more to see than we expected. Everyone was really helpful and the shows were very interesting. Particularly liked the wild bird show. As a finale the lorikeet feeding at the end of the day was incredible - we tell everyone heading to the area that it's a must do visit! More

Great day spent here with our family of five. Lots of well shaded areas to walk and see the variety of animals who all looked well cared for in natural looking enclosures. Staff were friendly, helpful and obviously passionate about the animals they work with. There is a train that goes around the large park that you can hop on... More

I am a very big animal fan myself. I liked the birds at the zoo and also the monkeys. I visited this place myself while I stayed at Ashmore Palms resort on the Gold Coast. More
