Brisbane's Must-See: Ultimate Koala & Wildlife Day Pass

As an American, I’ve always dreamed of coming to 🇦🇺. Along with that, being able to interact with Koalas and Roo’s was a must! The experience was everything I dreamed of and I’m so glad I did it!!! Book the Koala experience!!!!

I love Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary — just a short bus ride from the Brisbane CBD (yay for 50-cent fares 🙌). There’s something so special about spending time with the kangaroos 🦘, koalas 🐨, dingoes, and all the other beautiful animals. Honestly, I don’t care how old you are — this place is pure joy. One of those experiences that never gets old and always leaves you smiling 💚

Absolutely magical day at Lone Pines. Highly recommended. Amazing to see the koalas and all the other wildlife including wombats and kangaroos.

Staff are truly very passionate . We did this as a lay over in Brisbane was too long . Took an uber both ways , also had booked an experience for the Koala encounter our guide Zane was amazing .

Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary was an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. The animals were delightful, the atmosphere was relaxed, and every staff member we met was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Seeing the koalas up close — and being able to gently touch and interact with the kangaroos — truly fulfilled a childhood dream. The sanctuary is beautifully maintained, easy to explore, and offers plenty of opportunities to learn about Australia’s wildlife in a meaningful way. It’s the perfect place for families, animal lovers, or anyone wanting an unforgettable Australian experience. I couldn’t recommend Lone Pine more highly — a genuine highlight of my trip.

Our first adventure in Australia started at Lone Pine! We loved it. The Kangaroos and Koalas were a huge highlight but the entire park was enjoyable and a must see.

Took our friend that was visiting from the States. We all absolutely loved it. The animals are very well cared for and loved. Behind the scenes tour guides were fantastic, professional and obviously love their jobs! Food is reasonably priced although you are able to take in your own. We will definitely return.

Our group of 8 adults thoroughly enjoyed the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary! We were able to feed the Kangaroos as well as see many animals native to Australia! It was well worth out time and we felt like it was a good value!

This cute sanctuary only took about 2 hours to walk through. It was the perfect way to interact with Australia wildlife not too far from the heart of Brisbane (~20 min from Fortitude Valley). When you arrive, definitely purchase the Koala experience near the cafe to get up close and personal with a koala (you can pet, but they no longer allow you to hold them).

My husband and I visited the koala sanctuary last week when we were in Brisbane. I don’t know why I was surprised that there were so many koalas!! Of course I expected to see several but you can literally walk around from one spot to another to another and keep seeing koalas. It was wonderful! And you can get so close to where they are perched (and sleeping of course) in their trees! We also really enjoyed the rest of the park as well - the birds and the kangaroos. We thought it was all really well done. We personally didn’t sign up for the pictures with the koalas but we didn’t others doing it and they seemed to enjoy it. Overall a fun day and a great experience!
