Great place! Loved that you could get really close to the animals! Just note that all the “free photo” sessions stated in the programme do not allow you to hold the animals (addn $25 to hold).

Tohid NP

It is a place you must go once with your family specially kids. Don't forget to grab kangaroo foods to feed them.

Satria "Mekar" Utama

It's a nice n lovely place. If you like animal, you can cuddle the koala , feed the Kangaroo, herd sheep, and watching Falcon hunt its prey. It is better way if you go using River Cruise

Thomas Spycher

Nice little zoo ! A lovely place! But personally i think its a bit overpriced... koala cuddling/photos is limited so make sure your there early!

Richard Burkhill

Animals seem really well cared for and there is a wealth of expertise on the ground . I’m not a fan of any animal being ‘penned in’, but what they are doing here seems to be good science & conservation

Nessa Sarun

Love it how we can interact with kangaroos freely and taking picture with koala is a must! Worth the money if u take package 3&4

Nick Rockasaurus Coaltrain

It is a phenomenal place to spend the day. A great personal zoo with excellent shows. Make sure you check out the bird of prey show!

Robert Carlin

So many koalas and kangaroos to see and interact with, this is a place you *need* to stop by if you’re visiting Brisbane.

Take the Mirimar river boat for the best way to the sanctuary from the cultural centre in Brisbane. The price is very low and includes entry in the park and a return cruise

Logan Jones

Go early when they first open and get your photos. After about 11:00am, you'll have to wait in line for any photos. Plus, the animals are more active in the cooler temps of the morning.

Robin Hwang

A must visit - the largest koala sanctuary in the world. You can also feed free roaming kangaroos!

Juliette D

Great park , lots of kangaroos and other native Australian wildlife . Have to pay extra to hold the koalas so account for that when planning your trip.

Fish Fish

Have your picture taken holding a koala . Feed kangaroos. And get there by taking a lovely boat ride !

Severin Schols

Cute koalas , relaxed kangaroos, and sleepy wombats. Lovely place, and they also have free WiFi throughout the park .

Joao Ferreira

So worth a visit! A ton of koalas and friendly kangaroos that you can pet !

Koala Fact: Koalas are fussy when it comes to dinner time! Out of the 600+ species of eucalyptus trees out there, koalas only eat the leaves of about 50 species. Read more

This is the place where I turned my childhood dream into life. I could touch and hug koala !

Kristýna Hanzlíková

I love this place. See lots of koalas , kangaroos and other australian animals .

Brian Powers

Largest koala sanctuary in the world. Get your picture taken with the koalas and feed the kangaroos. A lot to see but admission is somewhat pricey .

Elisa Bekemans

Amazing encounter with Australian animals . Homd the koala ! It's worth it!

Elisa Bekemans

Koala holding pictures are the best! And watch your step because there are iguana's everywhere!

Small and crowded small amount of animals and the ticket is expensive and another ticket to have photo with Koala with looong queue

Sandy A

Take a picture w/a koala and a snake. Love this place -all the animals are fantastica. All the way from California, but I made sure to come, because it's awesome

Mr S

Lovely place to bring a toddler. Great day out.

Travis Harris

Great value , worth the visit and dont forget to pat the emus

Lesley Van Wiechen

buy a photo with a koala - you can then take as many as you like on your cam, and the photo they take will be uploaded so you can share it with friends back home

Meltem Cemre Ustunkaya

One of the best zoos in Australia. It has all Australian animals apart from salties! Worth what you pay for which is not really expensive .

Hiyuki Ong

A must go for anyone coming to Brisbane! Near the city so if you only got half a day to spare, spend it here!

Pasindu Karunaratne

Really fantastic visit! Plus not far, would recommend getting a taxi from the city , was faster.

H M

Cuddle with a koala or take a selfie with a roo. Amazing experience.

Sascha G.

Very famous Koala park , you can see and feed some animals, (Kangaro, Emu, other Birds)

David and Kiyomi

Get in quick for the birds of prey demo as all the good seats go quickly and you can't see much from waaay up the back on the wooden benches .

Shu H

Love all the koalas here! nice spread of daily show times to keep u busy running all over :D

Elena Dubentsova

The cutest animals are so close to you! And not far from Brisbane :)

$2 for a bag of kangaroo food. You only need one bag even with multiple people. It's a lot of food in that little bag.

Ida Leirvik

Wildlife , cute koalas and kangaroos . Good shows.

Sunny Lee

Good good good

allison

Much cheaper option to hold a koala than the Australian Zoo .

Sinus D.

MUST VISIT in Brisbane!

Come early before 10am and catch all the shows - from sheepdog to lorikeet feeding. The highlight of the day is feeding the kangaroos!

Susanne Ketelaars

A must go! Kids love it!

Rated one of the "Top 10 Zoos in the World" by AOL, Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane, Australia, is the world's first and largest koala sanctuary, with over 130 koalas . Read more

Andrew Dilaurentis

the price is quite worth, cause you can interact with those animals.

Zhu Dandan

Lovely place

Anna Docter

Join the 'keeper for a day' program. It's a great experience! You'll go where nobody can go and feed and hold most animals.

Liam Connellan

Worth a visit, unreal u get to hold a koala

Pame Garcés

You have to take the photo with a koala , there's nothing like it

Peter Crosthwaite

A lot more hands on than most zoos
