I really enjoyed seeing and filming the koalas in their little tree habitats. They were sleepy heads in the morning but around 1 pm was their feeding time and they were awake and active. Best time to catch a video. The bird exhibit was awesome as well. Feeding the kangaroos was an experience similar to feeding goats in a farm. Kangaroos are gentle and friendly animals. You can easily pet them and they are harmless. There were not any good eating places within the sanctuary. We took a bagged lunch and that came in very handy. Overall we enjoyed spending the time from 10 am to 4 pm in the lone pine koala sanctuary.

We had a great time at Lone Pine Sanctuary. It was amazing to see all the animals. Everywhere we walked there were Koala enclosures. It felt like we were in a Koala Forest. The rangers were helpful and the free shows were a treat. The only disappointment was the photo moments, you had to pay $35 per family member to meet a Koala up close and you had to use you your OWN phone or camera. No professional photo was available. Such a rip off.

To do absolutely. Nice time, nice park accessible by bus from Brisbane. Pleasant activity for children but also for adults who take as much pleasure in feeding and petting kangaroos.

We thought this was excellent. We have young children and they really enjoyed the chance to feed the kangaroos. There is also the chance to pet the koalas, which is a little extra, but which the kids really enjoyed. A really nice day out
