    Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is a non-profit organisation and all revenue is put back into wildlife conservation, education and research.

    They have one of the largest collections of Australian native wildlife and there are also mammals and reptiles on display.

    The lorikeets are one of the main attractions and visitors get a chance to feed them first thing in the morning and late in the afternoon.

    There are cuddly koalas and you have an opportunity to have your photo taken with this famous Aussie marsupial.

    Then there is the live snake show and the impressive birds of prey show where you will learn more about these animals in an entertaining program by experts in their field.

    Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is open from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm every day except Christmas Day when the park is closed.

    General Admission:

    Adults: $29.50
    Children (4-13 years inclusive) $19.50

    It's better to get a package for all the Worlds (3 Park Super Pass) which u can find in shopping malls around goaldcoast......

    Each world cost you around A$50+... The 3 Park Super Pass cost you A$147..

    It's better to reach the place early as you may not be able to cover all the places and rides in the theme parks.....

    There are open from 10am to 6pm (approximately)...

    The journey from goldcoast to the worlds is about 20 mins to 40 mins by car.... All the worlds are separated and not near each other so u can only go to 1 world per day so as to enjoy the place.....

    Make contact with marine life wonders and experience a whole world of amazing rides, shows and attractions! More than just a theme park, Sea World is committed to educating guests about the marine environment, and playing an active role in Australian marine research and rescue.

    Do catch the Dolphins & Ski Challenge Shows..

    Currumbin Bird Sanctuary is a great place to take the family. You can meet all the Australian animals there. The birds are fed twice a day and everyone is encouraged to take a plate. You can also feed the kangaroos.*

    Aussie country farm Feed the cows and baby lambs, learn to pan for gold at the river (although I found none), hop on a wagon hay ride and try throwing a boomerang or enjoy horse-ride around the farm. Afterwards watch a demonstration on how sheep are being sheared followed by a treat to billy tea and damper bread yummmy.

  • Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is a great place to see all the weird and wonderful native animals Australia has to offer.
    The feeding of the lorikeets is a real treat, the birds come to be fed twice a day at the park. The public help with the feeding by holding a plate of nectar, it's great to see peoples huge smiles when they have 10 or more birds on their arms and heads.

    Ok, first of you're gonna get some Koala pictures. All of which were taken personally, by me of course. Two of the pics came from the wild, the other two I took in a wildlife zoo. This is the 1st pic of a real koala out in the wild.
