About Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary Tickets + ArtVo Gold Coast Combo Tickets
Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is one of the Gold Coast's oldest and most treasured nature destinations — a not-for-profit organisation under the National Trust of Australia that reinvests everything into wildlife conservation. Spread across 27 hectares in Currumbin, the sanctuary is home to over 1,400 animals in natural bushland and rainforest settings. The lorikeet feeding (daily at 8 AM and 4 PM) is the iconic experience — wild rainbow lorikeets descend in flocks and land on your arms, shoulders, and head in a joyful, colourful chaos. The miniature steam train winds through the grounds. The Lost Valley houses red pandas, capybaras, and lemurs. The Croc Wetlands feature Boss Hog, a famous giant saltwater croc, alongside five male American Alligators. The Wild Skies Free-Flight Bird Show and Ngari-bah Aboriginal Culture Show provide cultural and theatrical depth to an already exceptional wildlife day.
ArtVo Gold Coast at Robina Town Centre is Australia's first immersive trick-art gallery — a concept that arrived in Melbourne in 2016 and has since captured the imagination of visitors of all ages. Across 1,400 square metres and 8 distinctly themed zones, over 80 large-scale hand-painted murals create optical illusions where visitors are not spectators but participants. Markers on the floor show where to stand; staff are always available to help position your shot. The results are photographs that genuinely look impossible — surfing enormous waves, facing off with a dragon, hanging from a skyscraper. Zones span fairy-tale, underwater adventure, safari world, a 3D glow room, and more. All-day entry is included, so you can revisit your favourites. Book both on Thrillark.

Insiders' Tips
Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary's lorikeet feeding at 8 AM is the quietest and most magical — the sanctuary opens from 8 AM for this session before general entry begins. The Wild Skies Free-Flight Bird Show is held multiple times daily; check the schedule at the entrance and time your arrival. At ArtVo, the staff are your secret weapon — they know every pose and angle to make each mural look its most impressive, so don't be shy about asking for help with your shots.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary famous for?
Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is most famous for its iconic wild rainbow lorikeet feeding — held daily at 8 AM and 4 PM — during which flocks of wild lorikeets descend from the surrounding bushland and land freely on visitors. It is also celebrated for its koala encounters, kangaroo and wallaby hand-feeding, the Wild Skies Free-Flight Bird Show, and the Croc Wetlands featuring large American Alligators and the famous saltwater crocodile Boss Hog. The sanctuary has been a Gold Coast institution since its early days and is now managed as a not-for-profit conservation organisation.
Can I hold or cuddle a koala at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary?
Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary offers koala photo and encounter experiences that allow visitors to get up close with koalas. The nature of the interaction — whether that includes holding — depends on Queensland regulations and the sanctuary's current conservation protocols. Koala encounters must typically be booked separately to general admission and are available in limited numbers each day. The sanctuary's Koala Photo Studio is a popular attraction and is worth booking in advance, especially during school holidays and peak periods.
What is the Croc Wetlands at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary?
Croc Wetlands is a dedicated reptile precinct at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary featuring five impressive male American Alligators, a group of Freshwater Crocodiles, and the famous saltwater crocodile Boss Hog. Visitors watch from a safety platform as crocodiles leap for food during feeding demonstrations — a genuinely dramatic spectacle that draws enthusiastic crowds. The precinct was revamped to create a more naturalistic and immersive setting for both animals and visitors.
What is ArtVo Gold Coast?
ArtVo Gold Coast is Australia's first immersive trick-art gallery, located at Robina Town Centre on the Gold Coast. It features over 80 large-scale hand-painted murals across 8 themed zones spanning 1,400 square metres. The gallery is designed so that visitors step into the artworks rather than viewing them from a distance — floor markers and staff guidance help visitors position themselves to create photographs that look genuinely impossible or surreal. All-day entry allows visitors to return to their favourite scenes multiple times.
What themes are covered in ArtVo Gold Coast's 8 zones?
ArtVo Gold Coast's 8 themed zones include a variety of immersive settings including underwater adventures, fairy-tale wonderland, safari world, a 3D glow room, and scenes inspired by iconic films and famous locations. Each zone offers completely different scenarios — from surfing enormous waves and battling dragons to scaling cliff faces and interacting with wildlife — creating a wide range of photography opportunities across a single visit.
Is ArtVo Gold Coast suitable for adults?
Yes — ArtVo Gold Coast is explicitly designed for visitors of all ages including adults, and many visitors without children find it one of the most entertaining and creatively engaging activities on the Gold Coast. The trick-art format encourages imagination, play, and friendly competition to achieve the most convincing or creative shots. Adult groups, couples, and corporate teams all rate ArtVo Gold Coast highly as a social, photogenic, and genuinely surprising experience.
How do I get from Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary to ArtVo Gold Coast?
Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is located in Currumbin on the southern Gold Coast, while ArtVo Gold Coast is at Robina Town Centre — approximately 20–25 minutes apart by car. The Gold Coast light rail (G:link) connects many parts of the Gold Coast and stops near Robina Town Centre. Most visitors drive or use Uber/rideshare between the two venues. The combination of a morning wildlife sanctuary visit and an afternoon ArtVo session makes for a natural and well-paced Gold Coast day.
What is the Ngari-bah Aboriginal Culture Show at Currumbin?
The Ngari-bah Aboriginal Culture Show at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary celebrates the traditions and culture of the Yugambeh people, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which the sanctuary stands. The show features traditional clapstick percussion, didgeridoo performance, and Aboriginal dance, providing visitors with an authentic and respectful introduction to the cultural heritage of the Gold Coast region. The show is included in general sanctuary admission and is performed at scheduled times throughout the day.
