Such a lovely place to visit, see koalas up close, learn about their natural history, what threatens their survival, and how you can help their conservation. The reason I chose this place over other koala centers is that this one does not allow visitors to hold koalas. You are still very close to the koalas, a meter apart from them with no barrier in between. Despite what the other koala parks tell you, handling koalas is stressful to them. While I would LOVE to hold a koala, it's not in a koala's best interest, and any center that tells you that it's fine is lying to make money. If you really care about Koalas, chose this place! Daisy Hill Conservation Park is also a great place to learn about other Australian wildlife. There's a large park with grills for family and friend gatherings and several nature paths and interpretive panels. During my walk through the native Australian eucalyptus forests, I saw kookaburras, butcher birds, rainbow lorakeets, a wallaby, skinks, tawny frogmoths, and of course several native plant species. Daisy Hill Conservation Park was a highlight of my two-day trip to Brisbane and very much worth the visit. I highly recommend!!
