Kuranda Koala Gardens is a boutique wildlife attraction, located in the world famous Kuranda rainforest village. Situated in the Kuranda Heritage Markets, the wildlife park is home to an amazing array of Australian animals, including wallabies, wombats, quokkas, gliders and freshwater crocodiles. What we lack in size, we make up for in cuteness.

In fact, we are one of the very few places in Australia where you can hold a Koala for a souvenir photo (extra cost). NOTE: Digital photos won’t be available on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays going forward to December. For something different, you can have your photo taken with a large python, for a small additional fee. Our couples photos are very popular. The recently opened Aussie Bush Collection has a fascinating combination of marsupials and reptiles, all living in harmony together. See the Long-nosed Potoroos along with Bearded Dragons and Blue Tongue Lizards.

Kuranda Koala Gardens has the only nocturnal exhibit in our Tableland region, giving visitors the opportunity to see up close some night-loving marsupials like the Greater Bilby, Northern Bettong and the rare Mahogany Glider.
