Kuranda Koala Gardens sits under the leafy roof of the Kuranda Heritage Markets, so rain and heat stay outside while you explore. In one short loop, you’ll see koalas, wallabies, quokkas, crocs, and more—all on flat, stroller-friendly boardwalks.
Keepers run talks and feedings every 30 minutes; you’ll hear real conservation facts while snapping close-up photos. Most guests need 30–40 minutes for a full walk-through, then head next door to Birdworld or the Butterfly Sanctuary.
When you’re done, hop back on the Skyrail or heritage train and reach Cairns without breaking a sweat. In short, easy access and close wildlife, which are perfect for families and day trips.
Koala Photo
Book ahead, scan your QR at the photo hut, and hold a fluffy koala for half a minute while a ranger takes the perfect shot. Digital images reach your inbox before you exit, so you can share them on the spot.
Wallaby Feeding
Pick up a seed cone, crouch low, and let wallabies nibble from your palm. Rangers show safe hand positions and remind you not to touch joeys. Early afternoon is the calmest for little kids and clear photos.
Reptile Meet-and-Greet
Pop-up demos let you stroke a small python while keepers bust common myths. Sessions are brief and friendly—great for guests who want to overcome a reptile worry in a controlled setting.

I enjoy walking around wildlife parks with easy access Ticketing was a little bit confusing as it gave times although it was an all day pass.
My daughter was so excited to hold the koala and we made great memories.
