Kuranda Koala Gardens
Zoos, Sanctuaries, Aquariums and Wildlife Parks
This award-winning boutique-style wildlife experience, Kuranda Koala Gardens, is in Kuranda Village right at the Heritage Markets. This is the only place in Kuranda village where you can enjoy the 'Pat a Koala' opportunity. A fee applies and this includes a digital souvenir photo. Friendly python photo is also option for an extra cost.
Also visit Kuranda's only walk in Noctarium, called 'Nocturnal Wonders' and discover rare species including bettongs, bilbies and gliders. Meet tame wallabies, see wombats, freshwater crocodiles, lizards and more. Visit the 'Pioneer Display' that depicts some of the early history of the owners' family in the Kuranda region.
It's a great attraction for those with limited time in the region (if you have more time, they also recommend visits to Hartley's Crocodile Adventures). Kuranda Koala Gardens is also part of the 'Kuranda Wildlife Experience'. This combines Kuranda Koala Gardens, Birdworld and the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary.
These are ideal for independent travellers and small groups.
