Wildnight Adventure
After dark, Currumbin comes alive with activity in the Gold Coast's only barbecue buffet and night-time wildlife tour. Delicious food, traditional culture and Australian animals at their very best. On arrival, the experience begins with a delicious Australian barbecue buffet.
Then take a walk on the wild side and get closer to Australia's native wildlife in a natural environment and experience spellbinding, Aboriginal music, dance and culture, seven nights a week.
You'll meet the koalas and see one of the biggest Saltwater Crocodiles in Australia. Hand feed the mob of friendly kangaroos. See the Tasmanian Devil! In a clearing of Melaleuca trees, discover a fireside Aboriginal corroboree where you'll see traditional dance. The haunting sound of the didgeridoo echoing through the Sanctuary's natural bushland is a truly memorable experience.

Sanctuary Cafe
Local. Fresh. Natural. Come back to Currumbin for the Gold Coast's newest dining experience. Sanctuary Café offers local, fresh food in Currumbin's unique, natural surroundings. There's no entry charge to visit for breakfast and lunch at Sanctuary Café. You'll enjoy the best food and wine from the region as well as wildlife encounters.
Lorikeet Arena
From Saturday, April 4 2009, the Lorikeet Arena opened up for free entry to celebrate Queensland's 150th birthday. Just like the early days of this great Queensland icon, you can feed the lorikeets for a donation. You can also explore the retail outlets and enjoy fresh local produce for breakfast, lunch or dinner at Sanctuary Café - and, if you wish, purchase entry to enjoy a full day at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. The arena precinct will become the centre of a refurbished dining and retail experience, while also providing a venue for free community events and entertainment. The Lorikeets feed at the Sanctuary from 8:00am-9:00am and at 4:00pm-5:00pm each day, just as they did when Alex Griffiths founded the Sanctuary more than 60 years ago. So come back to Currumbin and celebrate with them!

Green Challenge Adventure Parc
Presented by Adventure Parc, this exciting treetops ropes course through Currumbin's bushland areas takes elements of commando training and makes them safe, fun and exciting.
