Itinerary
Start your self-guided wildlife encounter at Kuranda Koala Gardens. At the gardens, you’ll get up-close to freshwater crocodiles and have the chance to feed kangaroos and wallabies. Feeding the kangaroos and wallabies is conducted under supervision from the amazing team at the gardens and the animals have the freedom to accept the food you are offering or go and relax ~ being a kangaroo is tough work!. You'll also see the elusive wombats – these sleepy, shy animals are the world's largest burrowing mammals and aren’t often seen in the wild, so don’t miss them! You also have the opportunity to see the rare Greater Bilby, the Northern Bettong, Mahogany Glider and more in the new ‘Nocturnal Wonders’ exhibit.
While at Kuranda Koala Gardens, you’ll receive your ticket for Birdworld, where Australia’s largest flock of free-flying birds awaits! Just a short walking distance from the Koala Gardens, this massive flight aviary is landscaped with water features and rainforest plants, home to more than 80 species of native and rare birds. Spot cassowaries, increasingly rare in the wild, as well as bowerbirds, parrots, lorikeets, cheeky cockatoos and other Australian birds. You’ll also see international visitors such as South American macaws.

So good the animals were very cute. We got to pat a koala and have our photo taken .Loved this place .Bird world was great the birds were very interactive.
Close up and personal with the animali and Birds! Unique and a must if you go to Kuranda by train or Skyrail.
This experience is a must do if you like nature. You get a chance to feed the kangaroo and connect to nature.
What a fab little place to see all the Australian animals and we had our picture taken with a koala !
Small place but worth a visit to take a picture with koala. Bird sanctuary has beautiful birds in vibrant colors. I was happy to see kangaroos and few other animals in this small place.
A great little zoo, with koalas, kangaroos and crocodiles. We were allowed to pet koalas and take pictures here, thank you for this perhaps unique opportunity.
Too great little family owned parks say a hour each is about right . Just to note the koala pictures are stood by the animal touching it rather than holding it as in past years . $28 for 1 person in a pic price goes up a bit depending on people numbers
All the koalas are in small enclosures hardly anywhere to go made to be held all day and touched by people. Extremely cruel I really regret giving them money.
$21 entry- poor attractions on a very small scale- barely lasted 30 minutes to see everything. Would not recommend and wish hadn’t wasted money on this.
I liked Birdworld better than Koala Gardens. Birds are wonderful, very active, with a lot of coordination and very diverse sounds. I loved it. . I bought tickets for both Birdworld and Koala Gardens at 2 p.m. but at that time the wombat and the koalas were asleep, (you also have to take into account the habits of the animals, the koalas usually sleep a lot). At 2:30 p.m. there was something like a session to meet the animals, feed them and pet them, but I couldn't stay because I had other plans. The kangaroos are very friendly. There are also some crocodiles and snakes. Both Zoos are small, compared to others I have visited, but they are beautiful. Also note that the Skyrail back to Smithfield makes its final run at 3:15 p.m.
