i visited this place just after the 74 floods and well it was amazing then and is still the same today near 40 years later , and the koalas may be different ones they are still cute and cuddley and it is accessible from the river or by council bus so come and visit it is a good day out

My son who is turning 6 went and did a Junior keeper for the day at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. This is fantastic. I highly recommend this to any parent looking for something to do for their kids. The staff were wonderful with the kids. My son and his friend had a ball and was so full of information. He was telling me all about it on the way home before he fell asleep. You can drop your kids off just before 8 am and pick them up at 1 pm. You don't need to stay there yourself if you don't want to. Other wise you can enjoy the animals and walk around relax & enjoy the park yourself. In the package they go and feed the animals and do basic zoo keeping. Learn a bit along the way as well. Hold a Koala and also get a picture taken. A couple little gifts. Morning tea, lunch drinks and ice blocks provided in the price. So for $98 for 5 hours its worth it. If you have a pass its only $80. The only thing I was disappointed about was the food myself and the price of it. I liked the coffee though. But over all it was great.

Approximate cost: $98

We had a fantastic time there (once all the japanese tourists had disappeared!). It's a little pricey but if you live in Brisbane then the yearly ticket is well worth it and you have your money recoobed in 2 visits! With this ticket you also get discounts on animal food and cafe food.
Best thing was to feed the kangaroos - they are very tame. next time will concentrate more on the koalas!
Staff were very friendly and explained heaps when we asked them stuff.

Approximate cost: $34p. adult

This is a great place to go for the day with the family. It is a great size to cover it all easily in a day. Lone Pine specialises in Ntaive Australian anmials and it very interactive. you can hand feed the kangaroos and wallabies, pat a snake and have photos with koalas, birds of prey and snakes! My daughter and i have a famaily pass and go in frequently. The staff are all very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions we have. Lone Pine is one of our favourite places to visit.
