Meet Famous Australians at Kuranda Koala Gardens. Open 9.30am – 4pm daily, at the Kuranda Heritage Markets.

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.

We are one of the few places where you can pat a Koala for a souvenir photo (extra cost, conditions apply and limited availability). This is available for individuals, couples and families (2-5 people per photo). For something different, you can have your photo taken with one of our large, friendly pythons (extra cost). Our souvenir wildlife photos are very popular and numbers are limited.

The Aussie Bush Collection features 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 Gliders.
