At 8am, a cloud of rainbow lorikeets descends and lands directly on your arms, shoulders, and head. That's your opening act. Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary has been running since the late 1940s and the rhythm of the place reflects it: unhurried, well-organised, genuinely educational. Plan four to five hours. Fill them with the animal hospital viewing deck (you can watch vets treat injured wildlife in real time), the kangaroo and wallaby enclosures where you can walk among them freely, and the rotating schedule of keeper talks. Koala photos cost extra. Buy tickets online before you arrive, both to save money and to skip the queue at the gate. It sits on the pricier side compared with similar sanctuaries, but the conservation credentials and the sheer density of things to do justify it.

What People Say
Ben Harpera month ago
Really well ran park with lots to do and learn. You can fill your whole days with talks which is what I like to do. All the staff are friendly and informative. The animal hospital is also really interesting being able to watch as the vets work. It is a little expensive when compared to similar experiences such as Lone Pines in Brisbane, which I think is slightly better value for money. Still recommend this if you are in the Gold Coast.

We arrived at 11am and stayed until closing, and it was plenty of time to enjoy everything. We saw lots of koalas, and being able to pet the kangaroos and take photos with them was such a memorable experience. It’s a very family-friendly place, safe, well-organized, and set in a beautiful natural environment with a relaxed atmosphere.

A must visit and an amazingly well run park. All the staff were friendly and more than happy to share their wealth of knowledge about the animals. The park itself is a good size and great for adults and kids alike. Spent a good 4 hours there and would come back. I recommend buying the tickets prior to entering as you can skip the longer line. Also 8-9am is the lorikeet feeding time which is peak excitement!

Burleigh Head National Park
Burleigh Heads
Surfers below, lizards beside you, rainforest at your back. The headland loop at Burleigh is one of the Gold Coast's better forty-minute commitments, with ocean cliff views, cultural markers, and a cold beer waiting at the other end.
Purling Brook Falls, Springbrook National Park
Springbrook
A 109-metre waterfall with a swimmable rock pool at its base, a well-maintained 4km loop through dense rainforest, and lookouts that justify every stair. Come after rain. The photos never do it justice, and the parking is always a gamble.
