The Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary was wonderful. Not really a zoo -- wildlife sanctuary says it better, although many of the attractions are of captive animals

We just loved everything! The kangaroos were our favourite, especially being able to be up close with them and stroke them.

The capybaras and red pandas were great and there was so many different animals to see. The bird show was very enjoyable also

It was a good experience. The bird feeding was our favourite, although we felt that there should be a warning about the bird poop and recommendation to wear long sleeves and perhaps a change of shirt.
