Why Visit Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary?

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is a must‑visit wildlife park on the Gold Coast in Queensland. Established in 1947, it started when Alex Griffiths began feeding lorikeets to keep them away from local farms. Soon, it attracted tourists to see these colourful birds up close.

Since then, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary has become one of Australia's top wildlife parks, spanning 27 hectares of eucalypt forest and rainforest. You'll find iconic Australian animals such as koalas and kangaroos, as well as more exotic species like lemurs and red pandas. You can also get up close to native animals, watch wildlife shows, and explore themed attractions like Lost Valley and the Extinction Trail.

But it's not just a place to see exotic wildlife. The sanctuary is dedicated to animal conservation, education, and research. It houses one of the busiest wildlife hospitals in the country, treating over 10,000 animals each year.

So whether you're a nature lover, a family seeking adventure, or simply passionate about saving animals, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary offers an unforgettable experience.## Experiences at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary See what exciting attractions you can enjoy on your next visit:
