5.00Had a lovely day out with the family. Our nieces son really enjoyed feeing the kangaroos and seeing the farm animals It was also great to be able to feed the cockatiels and, later on, the sheep. William really enjoyed meeting the farm animals as well. It was good to see the koalas, flying foxes, reptiles, crocodiles……etc It was interesting to listen in on the crocodile talk and see the raptor display. Very enjoyable day out and will definitely come again. Was last here 25 years ago!
A real treat

5.00We did the river cruise and visited the koala sanctuary. It was wonderful to see the koalas close up and awake. It was also a treat to pet the koalas and the kangaroos. There were also other animals to see: Tasmanian devil, platypus, dingos, bats and lots of colorful birds and lizards. The cruise up had a pre-recorded talk about what we were seeing as we went up the river. The crew were very friendly. Highly recommend this if you’re in Brisbane.

This is NOT a sanctuary

1.00This not a sanctuary this is a zoo. The definition of a sanctuary is a safe place to live in a normal habitat. This is NOT normal. The enclosures are way too small so the animals can’t move around naturally. My heart went out to the koalas who were at eye level on nothing more that perches in the middle of a cafe. This is not natural and definitely not how a sanctuary should operate. As we walked around many of the enclosures were empty as the animals are nocturnal which for us led to a very disappointing visit. Wouldn’t say it was good value for money.
Koalas and Roos

5.00Because we were staying in the city and didn’t rent a car this was an excellent avenue for us to see Australian wildlife all in one spot. It was an amazing place to go and wander around and we thought we would stay for two hours. We were there for five. There’s a lot to see and do wonderful for children as well.
Must do in Brisbane!

5.00Coming from the UK, seeing Australian wildlife is always top of the agenda for our trips to this incredible country. I understand it is getting increasingly more difficult to spot ‘wild’ wildlife, so to visit something like this sanctuary is essential. Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary was a wonderful experience. It is clearly a well managed and funded facility. We have a love for koalas in particular and there were at least 30 of these amazing animals in the Koala Forest at the back of the dining area. I think our timing was very fortunate, as the keepers were changing their eucalyptus leaf supplies and they were very much moving around and wide awake, which was an awesome sight. We also saw plenty of kangaroos, tree kangaroos, birds, including the magnificent cassowary and emu, dingos, crocs, platypus and other reptiles and amphibians. Unfortunately it was a hot day so the Tassie Devils and wombats were out of view at the time. Worth the entrance fee just to have spent the time watching the koalas!
Watch all special animals in one day

5.00I love to watch the animals in their natural habitat, it is not possible to see rare animals like Platypus, koalas, echidnas in their natural habitat in one day but this sanctuary made it possible.
