So much more than your average zoo, here you can feed tame kangaroos, experience the wild lorikeet feeding, take in the free-flight bird demonstration and enjoy a traditional Australian sheep shearing show. Watch as Aboriginal presenters perform didgeridoo and dance shows, test your physical ability on the high ropes course and much more. The Sanctuary allows us all to get up close and personal with hundreds if not thousands of native animals.

Established in 1947 when Mr. Griffiths began feeding the local lorikeets to prevent them from raiding his flower farm, the sanctuary entertains visitors from overseas and locals alike whilst ensuring the preservation of Australia’s wildlife. We are proud to include Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary in our Theme Park Trail.

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is set amongst 27 hectares of natural bushland. It can be explored on foot or take the guided Segway Safari tour or go from station to station on the mini-train. The mini-train is a real hoot and a great way to get around.

Enter an exciting world. The park attractions including daily feedings of a diverse range of animals including pelicans, eels, crocodiles and lorikeets. Be amazed during live animal shows, including the Air Asia Free Flight Bird Show and Croc Behaviour Show where you can get face to face with a baby saltwater crocodile.

Visit the animal hospital, see x-rays, ultrasounds, and endoscopes streamed live on a TV screen as the sanctuary vets in real time undertake procedures on native animals. See our local wildlife guide for more details.
