An absolutely fantastic and memorable place to go for an authentic australian experience! I went with my family there and had an absolute blast. There was so many different animals to look at in such a beautiful sanctuary! I have never seen half of the animals in person, and I was able to get up close and pet so many of them! My nephews has a great time and we're running to every attraction. I would love to come back again when I have the ability to come back to Australia. I took so many photos and have such great memories to share with all my friends and family. I definitely recommend coming to visit the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary!! It was an amazing first experience. I would love to come back and share that experience with my boyfriend in the future! I cannot express enough how much I enjoyed my time here. The selfie with a kangaroo was definitely a bonus. It was extremely cool to get up close to a kangaroo and pet them. I would of never imagined being able to do that!
Love this place ! Super clean and animals are very well cared for. Plan to spend a day to truly see everything. The handlers were very nice and informative. The koala and dingo experiences are a must. A full day with a private tour would be a wonderful way to see the Sanctuary. I will definitely be back.
Visiting Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary was such a warm and unforgettable experience. Surrounded by green trees and soft sunlight, I saw cute koalas sleeping lazily on eucalyptus branches, looking peaceful and lovely. I also got to feed friendly kangaroos on the grass. They hopped close gently, ate from my hand, and let me pat their soft fur. It felt so close to nature. Colorful lorikeets flew around, and I watched fun sheep shearing and dog shows too. Every moment was full of joy and warmth. This beautiful day with Australian animals will stay in my heart.
Would highly recommend visiting the sanctuary if it’s your first time here in Brisbane. Tickets were about $60AUD we attended all the free shows that were offered. You can literally spend all day there if you have the time. We were able to feed a few of the kangaroos that were roaming around. However, most of them were not hungry anymore at the time we were there and they just wanted to nap 😂 The koalas were super cute. There were probably more than 50 for you to see. You can pay a little extra to hug and feed them.
Visiting Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary was an unforgettable experience. The sanctuary is beautifully maintained, and you can really feel how much care goes into looking after the animals. Getting up close to the koalas was a highlight — the staff were knowledgeable, gentle, and clearly passionate about conservation, which made the whole encounter even more meaningful. From hand‑feeding kangaroos to watching the birds of prey show, every part of the visit felt engaging and well organised. The pathways were easy to navigate, the facilities were clean, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. It’s the kind of place that leaves you with a deeper appreciation for Australia’s wildlife. I’d highly recommend Lone Pine to anyone visiting the area — families, tourists, or locals looking for a memorable day out.
