• 5Incredible!

  Incredible. My first time seeing these animals! Coming from the United States, we do not see koalas or kangaroos or many of the others. This was !

• 5Fun Experience

  A lovely place to see Australian wildlife up close! Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary has a great variety of animals, and the koalas are definitely the highlight. A fun and memorable experience for families and wildlife lovers.

• 5Koalas, but also much more than Koalas

  You will see Koalas, but there is much more here as well. We really enjoyed our experience here. Several of us did up close and personal time with Koalas (for and extra charge). Many animals and birds to look at and learn about. We got there and back via Uber, but there is also a bus stop right there. Would have loved to do the cruise access, but couldn't make the times work out. If you love Koalas, and who doesn't love Koalas, this is a great experience.

• 2Not worth the time or money

  We went to the koala sanctuary after visiting the Australia Zoo. This was very disappointing. It was $50 each just to get in and if you wanted any of the experiences you had to pay another large amount. The animals were well kept, but it was hot and many were hiding in their dens. There was an opportunity to feed the kangaroos but the koalas were just bored in their trees. At least at the zoo we were able to touch them.

• 5I cannot say enough good...

  I cannot say enough good things about the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. It was absolutely amazing. Seeing all of the koalas and feeding kangaroos was an unbelievable experience. The staff and volunteers are all so friendly and willing to share so much information. I would definitely make this a must-do experience!!

• 5Don't miss it

  The admission fee was very cheap compared to say Australia Zoo. And this was more enjoyable than it too. The other one is so focused on grabbing the tourist dollar. Whereas this one is focused on making sure we have a good time. They were also mindful of the health of the Koalas. When one got restless, they put it back on a "tree", but it was fussy with the foliage. They went through a selection, until it was happy. I hadn't expected the breadth of animals on offer. My wife and daughter-in-law were over the moon to be able to pet so many animals, especially the Koalas. Don't miss the raptor birds show. The map, as usual is rubbish. Instead, they just need better signage. The food on offer was not just fast food (fish and chips), but they also had salads etc. The seating for the cafe is enormous.

About Brisbane

Brisbane is Queensland's riverside capital, a sunny subtropical city of parklands, galleries, a koala sanctuary and ferries on a looping river.

Brisbane winds along the bends of its river, with the centre on a peninsula and suburbs climbing the hills on either side. It began as a convict settlement in the 1820s, and the Old Windmill on Wickham Terrace and the Commissariat Store survive from that time. Today sandstone, glass towers and leafy streets stand together, and the Story Bridge, finished in 1940, spans the river beside the city.
