Directions

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is known for presenting Australian wildlife in natural surrounds, with rainbow lorikeet feeding among its most recognisable experiences. The sanctuary brings together native animal habitats, bird presentations and a wildlife hospital, so a visit offers more than a chance to see animals up close. These features give the place cultural significance as an accessible introduction to Australian species and the importance of wildlife care. For visitors from Tweed Heads, its position just across the Queensland border makes it a practical day trip as well as a distinctive Gold Coast wildlife destination. The bird feeding, shows and spacious grounds remain central to how visitors experience the sanctuary today.

Before you enter

  • Check the current opening hours before travelling; the listed daily hours are 9 am to 4 pm.
  • Allow several hours: visitors report that the grounds have more to explore than they expected.
  • Check the day's bird presentation times on arrival so you can plan your route.

What to expect
