We really enjoyed our time here. They have a lot of koalas, and it was particularly thrilling to see a few joeys. We weren’t thrilled with the photos taken with the koalas….the person taking the picture barely looked at the camera before snapping a picture. Fortunately, you are also allowed to take some pictures with your own camera and those... more

our family really enjoyed the koala sanctuary. it is pretty up front and close to the koala. Be sure to feed the kangeroos in the open field - it is really a great experience for us. more

I'm 6 foot 2, 14 stone, yet I loved this place. My girlfriend and I visited the sanctuary in Jan 09 and, even though we were there for 5 hours, I could've spent a lot longer there. If you want to see loads of koalas in their "natural" habitat, this is the place. There were about 160 of them and... more

We had a wonderful day here. This place was well thought out and not crowded at all. A relatively short drive from the Brisbane Airport. Aussie animals everywhere, and we particularly enjoyed the open range petting zoo. The kangaroos and other animals were well behaved and had no problem being photographed with us. They will eat right out of your... more

A must do if you are visiting Brisbane. Holding the Koala's and feeding the kangaroos was incredible. I went with my wife and we really enjoyed purchasing feed bags and walking right up to the kangaroos to feed them - great for photos. Also, the rest of the santuary was pleasant to walk around. more

We thought we would spend a few hours at the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary and ended up spending most of the day. The original draw was the Koala's. We got our picture with a Koala - the staff was kind and took a couple pictures with our camera as well. We attended the sheepdog show where the dogs and farmer... more

Our Sunday afternoon at the Sanctuary was outstanding. On the way in you are greeted by a bird that welcomes you, and says goodbye on the way out. In between you are surrounded by koalas of all ages and sizes. You can even have your picture taken holding one. Besides koalas there are dozens of wallabees and roos to walk... more

Took the bus into town, went to the sanctuary, then took the boat back to Brisbane. Highly recommend these modes of transportation to and from the Sanctuary. The LPKS was such a great experience, don't miss getting your picture taken with a koala. Make sure you feed the kangaroos and larakeets. Such a great place and once you are on... more

I loved the Lone Pine Sanctuary not just because I was able to hold a koala, but because I was able to feed the kangaroos! I was awed by the sight of kangaroos near and far, including one kangaroo lounging with her joey. I was lucky enough to hold Mr. Peabody, the koala. He was getting antsy, so I got... more

This is a must do if u are in or around the Brisbane area. A lovely relaxing day out with not only Koalas but kangaroos, wombats, ostriches etc. U can feed the Kangaroos whilst they are roaming around free, and see mothers and baby koalas in their natural habitat. Far better than another un named zoo in the Brisbane area,... more
