So much fun! We loved getting up close with the Koalas, and wallabies. We got to feed the wallabies and hold the Koalas. I was happy to learn that the Koalas only work about 30 minutes a day for 3 days and then they get to rest.

Awesome experience. Highly recommend especially if you have kids. You can pat koalas and kangaroos! Everything is up close and very kid friendly!

This place is laughable. You are charged $130 to take the skyrail and the train to get here. Both are nice but not $130 nice, maybe $50 or $60.
Then you get here and it's just a "shopping mall". You have to pay separately to see all the animals. $20 for each set: koalas and kangaroos, butterflies, birds..and whatever else they have available. You can easily pay an additional $60 just to see a few scraggly animals.
Do yourself a favor and stop by Australia zoo. Nothing else in the country comes close. I visited Australia specifically for Australia zoo and wasn't disappointed.

There weren't many koalas here despite your being charged $20 to see them. The 2 stars are for the folks doing the koala pics (an additional $22).

If you go to Cairns, you should absolutely visit Kuranda and hold a koala. Life time memory for me! Good value for the money. The keeper and the koala looked like best friends. And the koala was super nice to cuddle. We did also get a picture of me and my husbond when I was holding the koala, no extra cost.

Admission fee is reasonable, especially when done as a combo with the bird and butterfly parks nearby. Biggest highlight is opportunity to cuddle a koala and get your photo taken. Koala interaction costs a bit (about $20/person) on top of the admission, but is well worth it. You get a nice quality photo print, and the staff will also allow you to use your phone or camera to take a few extra shots. Husband and I both paid for the interaction, so they took individual shots for our included prints, and then used my cell so we could have a few together. Keepers were very friendly and knowledgeable about the animals.

Been there in September. A lot of crocodiles in a tiny space (small lagoon), huge olive python in a small box if you look at its size. Wallabies looked quite unhappy and fed up of all this people going around trying to feed them (a lot of animal food on the floor). That place is TOO SMALL for all these animals. Total rip off the the koala picture (come one $20 to get in and another $22 to take a picture). It's all rushed, they take only one single picture (they don't let you choose or look at it before printing it). They want extra money just to send you a digital copy of it. I would not recommend this place, there are plenty of other places which are more animal friendly and if you really want to hold a Koala go to another Koala sanctuary.

Great place. Fun times with the koala!

Take gondola up in the morning & train back in the afternoon, due to sun angles!

Great place to visit to get close to the animals & have a picture with a koala bear (be warned they stink). They will also take some pictures on your phone for you. Not a very big place, so it doesn't take long to walk around. Only in Queensland can you hold a koala, you can't do it in other states.

Friendly staff. Additional cost to hold koalas. A few wallabies and one kangaroo. Reptiles are fantastic. All animals and exhibits are very well looked after.

Great little garden in Kuranda. Compared to the Toranga Zoo in Sydney, in Kuranda you can get much closer to koalas. The koala encounter experience here also allows you to hold a koala and take a picture. In Toranga zoo, you can't touch the koalas. Also, here you can pet kangaroos or wallabies. Totally worth the $20 admission cost.

Enjoyed the Koalas and Roos but the highlight for us was the Wombat. exhibit. We had a great conversation with a very knowledgeable keeper while he fed the Wombat and her baby. We learned lots of interesting facts about Australia's wildlife.

The children enjoyed getting up close to koalas, kangaroos and wallabies. Have to say that Kuranda is a tourist trap plain and simple. If you accept that you'll probably enjoy it otherwise you may be disappointed (as some people plainly were). As traveling Brits on holiday we loved holding the koala and feeding the animals as it was obviously a novel experience for us.
