This is a great place to see koalas! While you can't hold them, you can pet them. There are also many koalas and you can get quite close, so you can gaze at them to your heart's content without worrying about crowds. This is also the best place to feed kangaroos. Most of the kangaroos don't seem interested in eating, but if you put food in your palm and offer it near their mouths, they surprisingly eat it. You can pet the kangaroos as much as you like, and I was so touched by how friendly they are. There are also free shows held in various locations, which I enjoyed. I spent a leisurely day from morning until about 3 PM. The park was also a good size, which was nice. I want to go again!

The pass was easy to purchase. Got the Australia pass (2 activities). Definitely, had to plan ahead and 2 activities that are worth more than the cost of the pass. convenience:10 ease of redemption:10 activity inclusions:10

The experience was fantastic! The itinerary is well-organized, and I was grateful that the sequence of the activities (sandboarding, kayaking, snorkelling) I was assigned to was perfect because the sand, sweat, and sunscreen were washed off during the snorkelling, haha. We had an early lunch, before noon. The DIY wrap was quite filling, so don't worry about whether you have the strength to play, haha.

Cam, our driving instructor, was really nice and patient. it was a surreal experience and the good was also great. Staff took great care of us all. A few points to note, too many people on the boat with many we has to take turns getting into the choppy ocean after lunch. Not really an ideal dive option. Secondly the evening tea should have had the pastries rather than morning as we were all getting ready to dive into the ocean, so food wasn’t on our minds…

North Stradbroke Island is so beautiful! Rob was nice, funny and tried his best to locate the wild life animals for us. We saw one humpback whale, many kangaroos, and some koalas. Trust me, the experience of looking for animals in the wild was wonderful!

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Brisbane. We joined the twilight climb, and my daughter and I were the only Asians in our group, which made the experience even more unique. Our climb leader, JASPER, was outstanding—professional, humorous, and incredibly attentive. His clear safety briefing made everyone feel confident, and throughout the climb he shared fascinating stories about the Story Bridge while ensuring everyone felt safe and comfortable. JASPER also took wonderful photos for us at every scenic stop, giving us memories we will treasure forever. Reaching the summit and overlooking the Brisbane River and the stunning city skyline was breathtaking. Watching the golden sunset as the moon slowly rose was a magical moment that words can hardly describe. It is a memory my daughter and I will cherish forever. I highly recommend the Story Bridge Adventure Climb, especially the twilight session. Thank you, JASPER, for making this adventure so special and unforgettable!

This full-day tour has a packed itinerary, but it’s so well-paced that we never felt rushed and thoroughly enjoyed every stop. Our driver/tour guide must moonlight as a radio host because he kept us entertained with fascinating trivia the entire ride—even if you doze off, you’ll still wake up smarter! He also has supersonic ears and laser eyes for spotting wildlife, ensuring we saw everything we came for. Highly recommend!

Was a very smooth ride on the river and learned a lot from the recording about the history of the land. We saw so many koalas and other animals too! Would recommend :)

What to know before visiting Brisbane

Discover Brisbane’s highlights and visitor rhythm

Brisbane is a relaxed riverside city where Zoos & aquariums, Cruises and Tours dominate visitor activity, with outdoor and water-based experiences also popular. Klook booking data show demand peaks in January and eases through the middle of the year, giving the city a clear high-season rhythm. Expect a mix of family-friendly wildlife visits and river-based sightseeing to shape most itineraries.

Best months to visit for crowds and prices

Klook data show January is the busiest month, while June records the lowest booking demand. Prices move through the year too: bookings tend to be cheapest around July according to Klook, and a sharp price spike appears in March in the available price series. For lower prices and smaller crowds, July and the surrounding winter months are typically the best choice; for full peak-season atmosphere choose January when demand is highest. Note that demand and prices sometimes diverge here—January is very busy but the biggest price jump in the price series is recorded in March—so pick the month that matches whether your priority is atmosphere or budget.

Tips for travellers from the United States

Most travellers from the United States book activities shortly before travel: Klook data show typical bookings happen around two days ahead, with early planners booking around nine days in advance. That flexibility means many popular zoo, cruise and tour options can be booked a day or two out, but during January’s busy period consider locking in key experiences earlier to secure preferred times. Use Klook to compare available time slots and reviews so you can confidently plan either a spontaneous visit or a short-window booking.
