About this tour
Spend 2 to 5 hours at Australia's oldest and largest koala sanctuary, just minutes from Brisbane's city centre. Walk among over 100 koalas and 75 native species across open grounds. The day unfolds with scheduled animal presentations, live demonstrations, and chances to hand-feed free-roaming kangaroos (food purchased separately). Suitable for solo travellers and families alike, with wheelchair access to most areas and all-weather operation.

What to expect
You'll enter grounds that feel more like parkland than a typical zoo. Animals roam semi-freely rather than being caged, so encounters feel genuine. The daily schedule structures your visit around keeper presentations—times vary, so check on arrival. Kangaroo feeding (paid separately) happens throughout the day in designated areas; expect to stand close and hand-deliver pellets. Terrain is mostly paved, but some paths are uneven natural ground. Bring water and sunscreen; there's limited shelter. The sanctuary operates rain or shine, so dress for Queensland weather.
Good to know
Public transport links are nearby; organise your own journey to the gate. Wildlife interaction experiences and kangaroo feed are extra charges. Check the interactive map beforehand if using a wheelchair—some areas remain inaccessible. Service animals require advance notice via email. Children need adult supervision throughout.
