A must for an up close picture with a koala

It’s a must if you want a up close picture with a koala. Taking picture with koala and feeding wallabies were the highlights for this venue. It takes less than one hour but you can see many koalas near by in safe environment. I felt admission fee was appropriate for the situation.

Picture w/a Koala

Loved our interaction with the Koala. Although you don't get to hold the little guy, you can touch and pet and they will take a picture of you and it is printed out before you walk away. They are very generous with letting you take your own pictures as well.

Feed a kangaroo

This was an interesting spot to visit while in Kuranda. The best part was being able to feed a kangaroo!

Loved the koala picture, but sad to see the animals in captivity

I have mixed views about my visit. I paid extra for the photo with the koala and that was the highlight. I loved that picture! I will say it was kind of sad to see the animals in captivity, they seemed overheated and lethargic.
