Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary 

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is the Gold Coast's leading native wildlife and coastal rainforest experience. With hundreds of native Australian animals on display in natural bushland and rainforest surroundings, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary provides a rare opportunity to get closer to our amazing native wildlife.

The Sanctuary is an Advanced Eco-Tourism Certified, National Trust of Queensland property which offers a world of discovery through fascinating wildlife shows and displays.

You can cuddle a koala, experience the wild Lorikeet Feeding, Free-flight Bird Show, Totally Wild and Snakes Alive Show and Kangaroo Feeding.

Aboriginal and Islander dancers perform in daily shows and tours, plus much more including the Extreme Green Challenge, an exhilarating tree-tops ropes course, and Wild Island, the fun-filled outdoor adventure playground and interactive science activity zone.

Please Note

From Saturday, April 4, the Lorikeet Arena will be opened up for free entry to celebrate Queenslands 150th birthday. Just like the early days of this great Queensland icon, you can feed the lorikeets for $2.00 donation.

You can also explore the retail outlets and enjoy fresh local produce for breakfast, lunch or dinner at Cafe Sanctuary - and, if you wish, purchase entry to enjoy a full day at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. There is no entry charge to visit for breakfast, lunch and dinner at Cafe Sanctuary.

The arena precinct will become the centre of a refurbished dining and retail experience, while also providing a venue for free community events and entertainment.

So come back to Currumbin and celebrate with us!

Things to do

Extreme Green Challenge: the challenge starts in the lush surroundings of Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and features 14 challenges, including rope bridges, swings and ladders. The course extends high into the treetop canopy over the Sanctuary, before finishing with an exhilarating flying fox over the Crocodile Wetlands.

Wildnight Adventure: after dark, Currumbin comes alive with activity. Our amazing nocturnal animals come out to feed, hunt and play, and Australia's indigenous people perform amazing traditional dance and music. It's all in a fully guided, absolutely fascinating 2.5 hour Wildnight Adventure you must experience at least once in your life.

Cafe Sanctuary offers local, fresh food as well as wildlife encounters and Aboriginal and Islander cultural performances.
