🌟 World’s First Koala Sanctuary — Your Australian Wildlife Dream

As the world’s first and largest koala sanctuary, Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary has been home to more than 100 adorable koalas since 1927. With over 70 species of native Australian animals, it’s one of Brisbane’s must-visit wildlife attractions. Guided by the philosophy that “the Earth is not just for humans,” the sanctuary offers unforgettable close encounters with Australia’s most iconic animals in a lush natural setting.

📅 Two Incredible Experiences — Day & Night

🌞 Daytime Visit: A Fun Wildlife Adventure for the Whole Family

With a standard daytime ticket, explore the vibrant sanctuary at your own pace. Wander along shaded pathways and watch koalas dozing peacefully in eucalyptus trees. Join the Koala Close-Up experience, where keepers help you observe natural behaviours and capture memorable photos while respecting animal welfare.

Hand-feed friendly kangaroos as they hop up to greet you, enjoy thrilling bird-of-prey shows featuring eagles and owls in flight, and get close to dingoes, echidnas, platypuses, and other fascinating native animals.

Don’t miss the upgraded saltwater crocodile exhibit with its 360° underwater viewing dome, offering a unique perspective of these powerful reptiles gliding through the water. Daily keeper talks and feeding sessions make the visit both fun and educational for visitors of all ages — with countless photo opportunities throughout the sanctuary.

🌙 Night Tour: Discover Australia’s Nocturnal Wildlife

For a truly unique experience, join the guided night tour and explore the sanctuary after dark. Led by expert wildlife guides, you’ll use red-light torches and thermal imaging to uncover the secret lives of nocturnal animals.

Watch wombats foraging, energetic Tasmanian devils on the move, echidnas searching for food, and small wallabies emerging in the night. Learn fascinating insights into their behaviours and ecology as your guide brings the nighttime wilderness to life.

This immersive 90-minute experience reveals the mysteries of Australia’s nocturnal wildlife and is perfect for adventurers of all ages (available on Fridays and Saturdays only).
