At Koala Gardens Kuranda Heritage Markets, there are lots of opportunities to observe the koalas doing what they do best - eating, sleeping and looking adorable. Immerse yourself in one of the most unique wildlife attractions and see koalas, Quokkas, freshwater crocodiles, kangaroos and wallabies, wombats, snakes, monitors and other reptiles. Join our Wildlife Keeper for a short guided walk through the Nocturnal Wonders exhibit learning about Bilbies, possums and gliders. See our latest exhibit the 'Aussie Bush Collection' which has a fascinating mixture of marsupials and reptiles living together in the one 'Aussie' environment.

Well laid out park with a variety of local wildlife, a chance to get up close to different varieties of kangaroos, some birds and a few others, booking koala visit. Nice cafe too. Full review by MikeFo

Loved the opportunity to cuddle a Koala and to see wolloby, wombats and the other marsupials up close. The village is also worth the time to explore Full review by Tammy5563

Many thanks. Firstly, due to the Australian Government restrictions our attraction is closed until further notice. Koalas in Queensland are held for no more than 30 minutes a day under the strictest guidelines in the country and these are adhered to to the letter. We will also be offering patting photos where the Koalas are on a branch as an option when we re-open. But to answer your question fully, if you'd like to stand with a keeper holding the Koala, we don't see that would be a problem but we are still closed at the moment.
