Lake
Nature & Parks
Bodies of Water
Lake McKenzie, also known as Boorangoora, is a popular tourist destination and the most famous inland freshwater lake on Fraser Island. Its pristine white silica sand and turquoise water make it a must-see attraction. The lake is a perched lake, containing only rainwater with no groundwater inflow or outflow to the ocean. Visitors can enjoy picnicking on its white sand beaches and swimming in its crystal-clear waters that maintain a temperature of about 25 degrees throughout the year.
I love this spot! Best attraction on the island. Purest white sand and crystal blue fresh water. Nice and shallow until the drop off which you can easily see by the darker blue water. Theres limited parking so the earlier you get there the better. It’s secluded and quiet unless it happens to be school holidays 😂 There is an amenities block for those in need as well in the car park area.

Lake McKenzie: A Fraser Island Gem You Can't Miss! If you're planning a trip to K'gari (Fraser Island), Lake McKenzie (Boorangoora) is an absolute must-see. This iconic freshwater lake lives up to every bit of its hype, offering an experience that's nothing short of breathtaking. The first thing that strikes you is the crystal-clear water. It's so incredibly pure, with a stunning blue hue that transitions to brilliant turquoise as you wade in. Composed entirely of rainwater, the lake's sandy bed and lack of marine life contribute to its remarkable clarity, making it perfect for swimming and simply marveling at its beauty. Getting there is an adventure in itself. The 4WD driveway to Lake McKenzie is a highlight for any off-road enthusiast. Navigating the sandy tracks through the island's interior adds to the excitement and truly makes you feel like you're earning that first glimpse of paradise. It's a fantastic experience for drivers and passengers alike, offering a taste of K'gari's unique terrain. Once you arrive, you'll find pristine white silica sand, perfect for relaxing and soaking up the sun. Whether you're taking a refreshing dip, picnicking on the shore, or simply enjoying the serene atmosphere, Lake McKenzie offers an unforgettable natural escape.

Best place we visited on our day trip to K'gari. Beautiful scenery and swimming in the lake is lovely.
Neil B — Google review
Lake McKenzie on K'gari (Fraser Island) is a stunning perched lake with crystal-clear turquoise water and soft, white silica sand that feels like velvet underfoot. Perfect for swimming, the shallow waters are safe for all ages, though it can get deep quickly. The surrounding lush forest adds to the serene, postcard-worthy vibe. It’s a must-visit, but arrive early to avoid crowds, as it’s a popular spot. A short 4WD trip or hike from Kingfisher Bay, it’s an unforgettable natural wonder

we were on k'gari and you just can't miss Lake Mckenzie (Boorangoora). it is so beautyfull. so blue and you can see the bottem everywhere. so if you are there, just go to Lake Mckenzie (Boorangoora). :)
Jfjfhfjf — Google review
Lake McKenzie makes it probably the most visited natural site on the island. It is a ‘perched’ lake, which means it contains only rainwater, no groundwater, is not fed by streams and does not flow to the ocean. The sand and organic matter at the base of the lake form an impervious layer, preventing rainwater from draining away. The sand here is pure, white silica and is not only beautiful to look at but feels beautifully soft to walk on. The sand acts as a filter, giving the water its clarity and helping to make the water so pure it can support very little life. The blues and greens of the lake are endlessly fascinating and it’s well worth getting up early to look across it in the soft light of dawn. I have been here many times and it has always been an incredible place to be, but this particular visit was different as its the very first time I've really seen the true colours after receiving my colour correction glasses (I'm a colour-blind)... what did this mean? Hard to describe but it's like visiting for the first time again... Simply mind-blowing! #kgari #Queensland #Australia #frasercoast #igersfraserisland #kgaridraserisland

I went for a relaxing hike and ended up here. Decided to go for a swim, but didn't have a towel, how could you. Sad face. PS. The lake was VERY wet.
Jacko W — Google review
Such an amazing place. The water is crystal clear and so clean. It’s like swimming in a pool but without the chemicals in it. You’re not allowed to eat on the beaches but there are designated fenced picnic areas at the parking area. Also toilets which is wheelchair accessible. Only downside is that it’s very busy with tour buses and the road to get there is not in a good condition. Put this on your to do list!

Great spot, in depths of shade so solar suffered a bit. Not that clear where to put RV but generous space when found a site. Wildlife pretty forward despite lack of dingos so do lock up bins and food

At this place you should go for the walk along the Wanggoolba Creek. Thias creek is flow on very fine white sand. The thing is sometimes you do not see the water as it is invisible clear. We did not use the camping area which is also closed by.

Central Station Rainforest is a great walk you are mainly walking on a boardwalk where you see many aged trees which are huge! There is a beautiful creek that runs through the forest which is a great site to see. There is a lot of history hear and you can read about it on different plaques along the way. “Jonique Life” Follow our journey around Australia on Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok and YouTube as we highlight wonderful experiences and magical places you can add to your ever growing bucket list.

This is the most disgusting campground. Filthy bathrooms, broken showers, smelt so bad you had to hold your hand over your nose to enter. I wouldn't use the toilets they are so terrible. Showers took the coins, no water came out, hardware hanging off the wall. It was like a scene out of Jurassic Park. The campground itself is unkempt. Dirty bins and dirty 'camp kitchen'.

Inskip Point Recreation Area

Low-key, rustic beach with ample space for camping in tents & caravans amid sand & coastal trees.
Great location for camping. Toilets were surprisingly clean. Would highly recommend
Noelia E — Google review
Awesome location for the Fraser Island ferries ⛴️. So close to Rainbow Beach for supplies, the camp grounds here have toilets and spots so close to the water for fishing and kayaking. The area is a 40 zone, not that many abide by it, but there is a merciless motorbike cop catching a few so would serve as a deterrent. The ferry area is sandy, depending on weather, traffic and volume of cars determines how soft the sand it. Air your tyres down so you do not become an obstacle. Bring recovery boards and a snatch strap. Don't stay on 40psi. At least 25-30psi on the day pending conditions. I run at 20psi for the Island 🏝 Was an outbreak of gastro in the camp grounds so practise good hygiene. A picturesque location. Most accessible by normal sedans until the beach, where an AWD/4WD is necessary

Good family beach camping spot. Has wheelchair accessible toilet facilities Camp sites are easily accessed with 4x4 but otherwise you can park a few metres from the camp sites on the road Rainbow Beach is very close to get supplies or visit a cafe/pub Can get very crowded during peak periods so probably don't bother during public holidays
Thomas H — Google review
Lovely setting with literally thousands of camping spots , (although it does get very busy you should be able to find a spot) you can choose from setting up amongst the trees or on the beach front and everywhere in between. There are toilet blocks and rubbish bins dotted around as well as the occasional non drinkable tap . Take your own drinking water with you as well as any other vitals as there no Shop close (this includes Fire wood) The longest you can camp here is 30days by permit which I think is around 6-7 bucks (beach driving by permit also ) which is online or from some of the shops at rainbow beach .

Nature & Parks
Noosa National Park is a breathtaking gem located along Queensland's picturesque coastline, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in its natural beauty. Spanning over 4,000 hectares, this expansive park features an array of stunning landscapes, including dramatic coastal cliffs, serene beaches, and vibrant rainforests. Whether you're keen on hiking the mountain summit trails or exploring the scenic coastal paths, Noosa National Park offers ample opportunities for wildlife viewing and swimming.
Absolute gem to visit. Choose a nice day and allow 2 to 3 hours if just taking a casual walk, longer if you plan to take a swim. We happened to catch the sunset on the way back, which made it extra special. This is a must visit location. The walk is gentle and mostly on a paved surface. Steps are generally only when descending to the water. There are toilets at the start and about midway to Hell's Gate. Enjoy your trip!
Luis H — Google review
Multiple great walks to choose from. The coastal walk was absolutely beautiful with great views along the whole way, gorgeous look outs and access to sandy beaches. Great photo opportunities. Also lots of spots either on the beach or at some of the lookouts to have lunch. Also a lovely area at the entrance for a little picnic. Really enjoyed it!
Brooke S — Google review
Pictures don’t do it justice so stunning! We were able to see dolphins and whales along our walk. The fairy pools are farther down than expected be careful but it’s the views. We wended up not swimming in them because we for distracted by a pod of dolphins swimming by. Tea tree bay was a nice swim. A little chilly still since we are coming out a winter into spring (September). But we still went out!
Lydia T — Google review
Noosa National Park is an absolute gem and easily one of the most beautiful places I’ve visited in Australia. I spent half a day exploring and could have stayed much longer — the combination of coastal scenery, wildlife, and peaceful walking trails makes it a truly special spot. The Coastal Track is the highlight and a must-do. It’s well maintained and runs along the edge of the cliffs, offering incredible ocean views the entire way. I started from the main entrance near Noosa Heads and walked all the way to Hell’s Gates. Along the way, there are several lookout points — Tea Tree Bay, Dolphin Point, and Granite Bay were my favorites. Each offers a slightly different perspective of the coastline, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot dolphins or turtles in the water below. Wildlife spotting was another highlight. I actually saw a koala resting high up in a eucalyptus tree near Tea Tree Bay — such a cool moment! The park is also full of birds, and you’ll often hear them before you see them. If you plan to visit, I’d recommend going early in the morning. The car park near the main entrance fills up quickly, especially on weekends, and it can get busy later in the day. Bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and maybe a snack or two if you’re walking the full track. There are also a few beaches along the way if you want to stop for a swim or just relax by the water. Overall, Noosa National Park is a perfect blend of natural beauty, wildlife, and tranquility. Whether you’re into hiking, photography, or just want a peaceful escape surrounded by nature, this place has it all. I can’t wait to go back — it’s the kind of spot that stays with you long after you leave.
Mandeep K — Google review
Noosa National Park is absolutely stunning — easily one of the best coastal walks in the State. The track follows the cliffs with sweeping ocean views, turquoise coves, and shady sections through eucalyptus forest. The walk to Hell’s Gates is especially beautiful, and there are plenty of spots to stop for photos or a quiet break. Perfect mix of accessibility and wild natural beauty.
R S — Google review
The coastal walk at Noosa National Park is absolutely stunning. The scenery changes constantly along the way — from sparkling beaches to rugged cliffs and lush bushland — so there’s always something beautiful to look at. It’s definitely doable, though you’ll want to be at least a little bit fit, especially if you’re planning to walk the whole track. I’d highly recommend doing the full coastal walk if you have the time. It’s roughly 10 km return (give or take depending on where you start), and every step is worth it. A truly spectacular experience. 🌊🌿✨
Charmaine R — Google review
I would have rated this place 5 stars for the scenery and the very well maintained toilets and walking tracks, but it’s INCREDIBLY, AWFULLY CROWDED!! I’ve seen less people in shopping centres than here. And the parking situation SUCKS!!!!! We were lucky enough to get a park in a side street nearby-ish, but I saw a lot of vehicles do the round trip between the roundabout on Hastings Street and the NP car park, with no success. On the coastal track there were heaps of people, and a fair few runners dodging the walkers, which can be annoying for both. We also walked the Tanglewood track, and that was a completely different experience. Very few people, and some nice rainforest sections. Unfortunately the signage left a lot to be desired and twice we ended up on a maintenance track by mistake. If you’re in Noosa, it’s worth a look but I would not recommend making a special trip here unless you’re into riding a longboard. The surf was pretty good, if you’re willing to get up early or walk a mile or two to get to the beach.
Erasmus M — Google review
An incredible place with stunning coastal walks and picturesque beaches like Fairy Pools. The trails are well-maintained, offering amazing views. Just be aware that finding parking can be a real challenge, so plan to arrive very early or consider walking from Hastings Street to avoid the hassle. It's a must-visit, but the parking situation requires some strategic thinking!

It's conveniently located near Hastings Street, known for its vibrant bars and boutiques.

The beach is beautiful and it's a great spot for surfing. The sand here is very soft. Although if it's holiday or weekend, there can be loads of people and it might be difficult to find a parking spot. You'd better plan the trip in advance.

Yiyang Y — Google review
Noosa Heads Main Beach is the kind of beach that makes you believe you’ve accidentally wandered onto a postcard. Crystal-clear water, golden sand, and waves gentle enough that even the ocean seems to be in a good mood. It’s perfect for literally everything — tanning, swimming, floating around pretending you’re in a movie, or just sitting there staring at the view like it’s therapy (because honestly, it is). The vibe is relaxed, the people are lovely, and the whole place just radiates holiday energy. Whether you’re grabbing a bite on Hastings Street between swims or watching the sun melt into the water, Main Beach always hits. It’s clean, beautiful, and somehow makes you forget every problem you’ve ever had. The only downside? The sheer volume of people. At peak times it feels like half of Australia had the exact same idea — but honestly, when a beach is this stunning, can you even blame them? If paradise had a postcode, it would be Noosa. 🌞🏖️

Beautiful, Relaxing, and Perfect for Everyone! Noosa Main Beach is one of the best beaches I’ve ever been to. The water is calm and crystal clear—perfect for swimming, even for kids. The sand is soft and clean, and the beach is very well-maintained. I also loved how close it is to Hastings Street, with so many cafes, restaurants, and shops just a short walk away. It can get a bit crowded during peak times, and parking is limited, so come early if you can. But overall, it’s a stunning spot to relax, swim, surf, or just enjoy the sunshine. Highly recommended if you’re visiting the Sunshine Coast!

Awesome Aquarium, very focused on wildlife knowledge and how to care for the environment. Our son loved it, and was frothing from start to finish. The seal show was awesome, and loved the tunnels with sharks, days and fish. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and very well priced experience. Book online early to get discount tickets but either way is a great day out for the family

Great experience at the aquarium! We saw all of the displays, heard a talk about the penguins 🐧 & saw a seal show! As two students the tickets were affordable and the experience was worth while! Not sure how great the venue would be for repeat visits but it was an excellent and highly recommended spot for a day trip while in Moolooaba. The seal shows were at 10:30 and 12:30 from memory, this may vary day to day. Lovely staff and good vibes all around:)

Absolutely adore coming here! I finally managed to go for the amazing animal crossing event and it was better than I imagined! I thoroughly enjoyed the little stamp ralley and best of all, meeting Isabelle! It was genuinely one of the sweetest things ever and I gave her a drawing as a gift and token of my appreciation! Your staff were also fantastic today, big shoutout to Tiffany who we had a lovely chat to for ages and I think Ruth who was with Isabelle! You guys made this experience so amazing and I love what you do! 💜

The admission prices are reasonable. But if you book days in advance they are cheaper. We paid an extra $15 per person for the Behind-the-Scenes Tour I loved seeing all the animals. There was an adorable baby penguin and a fun hands-on section where we got to touch some marine life. Walking through the underwater tunnels was definitely a highlight, it felt like being surrounded by the ocean — though it was crowded at times. The Behind-the-Scenes Tour was a great experience. We saw how they house for injured animals and protect local marine life. There were three green sea turtles recovering, and we got to look down into the big pool above the tunnels — seeing the sharks and other animals swimming below was amazing. The seal show was light-hearted and fun, especially Ruby, a playful five-year-old seal. She was absolutely adorable! In total, we saw three seals during the show. The café, which had some food options — mainly small snacks and pies. So, don’t expect a full meal there. The only downside was, the Behind-the-Scenes Tour felt a little short, and unfortunately, no photos or videos were allowed during it. A wonderful experience and perfect would definitely come back again!!

2nd time visiting in 7 years, both times just me and my husband. We enjoyed it just as much this time as we did the first. They have some shows during the day so if you are into these, be sure to check the schedule. If you aren't, and you like it a little less busy, then go when everyone is at the show, its a lot quieter.

Most excellent experience. Marvellous guides (Lucy and Alice). Lovely animals. Interesting and educational facility. Did the behind the scenes tour with Seals, Penguins, and Sea Turtles. Very interactive. Also very interesting to hear and see how the programs are put together and animals cared for.

Water & Amusement Parks
Aussie World is a well-established theme park on the Sunshine Coast, offering a variety of rides and attractions suitable for all ages. It's a popular choice for families seeking an exciting day out with its range of activities, dining options, and easy accessibility. Despite being smaller in size compared to other parks in the region, it provides ample entertainment without overwhelming crowds. The park operates 363 days a year and offers unlimited ride passes for visitors to enjoy their favorite attractions repeatedly.
What a great venue for a nice day out - skipping lots of the crowds at the bigger parks. Lots of different rides for different ages and in a much smaller space so good for smaller groups or families. Toilets were clean, food was conveniently located (can't comment on the quality or pricing though, as we didn't buy anything). Lots of roving fun circus entertainers, great ride options for all ages. My 10 year old daredevil was as equally entertained as my less daredevil inclined 8 & 5 year old. Pass outs were great for a lunch break outside.
Missy B — Google review
It has a lot of variety, e.g. mini golf, sideshow alley, rides, etc. Able to look online each day and see what rides are shut. It's not clear online that seniors can get discounted entry. Great party area for birthdays. The staff are wonderful with the children and so friendly. Having the hotel out front gives extra meal options.

Ill give a 5 stars. We had a fantastic day at Aussie World. My kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The lines were short. My kids were tall enough to go on almost everything. We stayed from opening to close and ticked off almost everything in the park, with doing some rides more than once. All the staff were friendly and the facility was tidy and clean. Was a great little family day out. Fairly priced.

The atmosphere was great, the staff very friendly. Only disappointment was a lot of the rides weren't working. When you pay full price, then you'd expect to ride all the rides right? Or get a discounted entry. The illusion room was so much fun and miss professor was quite funny and entertaining. Most of the rides that were working was great, the kids had fun and that's the main thing. Great day packed with fun and laughter.

Aussie world is certainly under appreciated! When we arrived we were greeted with smiling faces, clowns and good vibes. The kids big and small had a blast! We will definitely be back.

Moreton Island is a scenic reserve known for its beaches, dunes, and marine life. Visitors can explore several shipwrecks and enjoy various activities such as quad biking, kayaking in clear kayaks, and parasailing over the magical blue waters. The island offers a wonderful holiday destination with opportunities for water sports or relaxation. Guests can stay at the resort with nice and tidy rooms that offer amazing views of the ocean.
The beach was absolutely beautiful and surrounded by nature! But getting there without a tour seems tricky—no Uber or taxis around. Also, the food prices were insane… $15 for coconut water and $20 for a small Ben & Jerry’s ice cream!

SO hot, not a lot of shade. Excellent snorkelling around the shipwrecks, but be honest with yourself about how strong a swimmer you are.

Moreton Island is absolutely incredible. We spent hours snorkelling at the Tangalooma Reef and exploring the shipwrecks—such a unique experience. Driving over to Cape Moreton Lighthouse gave us some amazing views, and the whole island felt like an untouched paradise. Highly recommend visiting for a few days if you can!

Good vacation for family on a tight number of days. Would recommend 2 nights at max and l plan activities like snorkelling, swimming quad bike. Most busy days are wed and sat. But given it’s busy also all activities would run unlike them being on maintainance on other non busy days so the fun of being there to explore is lost!!

This island is situated in the Moreton bay and approx. two hour journey by ferry from Brisbane main land. I visited this place in 2016. A beautiful creation of nature amidst turquoise water. The Ferry journey is itself enjoyable. You must not to forget carrying hat/ umbrella along with sun screen as on the deck the sun light is intense. We took a daylong package that includes pick up from our service apartment, , ferry journey, buffet lunch and several activities in the island like: kayaking, snorkeling, jeep drive, sand tobogganing. It was a wonderful tour along with my colleagues and we had one of the best tour guides. we got back to Brisbane in the evening.
Razi A — Google review
Our day on Moreton Island was truly amazing, with the guided snorkel tour of the Tangalooma wrecks being a definite highlight. We were incredibly grateful to Kyle for fitting us in, allowing us to experience the stunning underwater world filled with aquatic wildlife. Our guide, Sydney, was excellent—knowledgeable, patient, and ensured our group felt comfortable and safe throughout the tour. We saw so much incredible marine life, and it’s an experience we won't soon forget. While our direct experience with the tour team was fantastic, we did witness some restaurant staff at various island locations being rude to other guests. I want to be clear that this was not our personal experience with our tour or water sports team, who were nothing but friendly and helpful. However, it was noticeable and something I feel is worth mentioning. Despite this, the natural beauty and the exceptional snorkel tour made our visit worthwhile. We are already looking forward to returning to Moreton Island soon to explore more of what this beautiful place has to offer.

There was an exhibition called "Bridging Now to Next" today. Unfortunately, I didn't participate in it. When I arrived, they were already packing up. When I entered, a tall man greeted me warmly. He asked me where I was from. He said that he had a friend who was also from Taiwan (or had been to Taiwan, because I heard that he traveled everywhere, and then learned martial arts (Kung Fu). Finally, I think he said that if I had any questions about the exhibition, I could ask him.

Tangalooma Wild Dolphin Feeding

Mentioned on

Outdoor Activities

Other Outdoor Activities
Tangalooma Wild Dolphin Feeding is a renowned activity at the island resort, where visitors can witness wild bottlenose dolphins coming to shore for food, especially during sunset. There's an option to watch from the viewing area or participate in hand-feeding the dolphins by booking in advance. The experience is highly recommended and often requires an overnight stay due to its popularity.
The Wild Dolphin Feeding experience at Tangalooma Resort was absolutely unforgettable! It’s a quick experience overall, but totally worth it. Lines start forming 30–45 minutes in advance—we lined up closer to the end, which worked well since we had time to take photos and videos from the viewing deck beforehand. The actual feeding lasts about a minute, but it was such a special moment. We were lucky enough to feed a mother dolphin and her calf! The entire experience felt very safe and well-organized, with great care taken to respect the dolphins’ natural behaviors and lifestyle. A must-do at the resort, especially for dolphin lovers and anyone looking for a magical wildlife encounter!

In Lovina, Bali to see dolphins we have to go to the middle of the sea and use a motorboat. But here, we are quiet and the dolphins will come. And we can feed them too. Amazing. The time is between 5.45 - 6.30

Beautiful Island to unwind! Staffs are friendly and helpful. I have a feedback on Senior Concession Discount. Subject: Feedback on Senior Concession Discounts To The Manager of Tangalooma Resort, I hope this message finds you well. I recently had the opportunity to visit Tangalooma, and while I truly enjoyed the experience, I would like to share a suggestion that I believe could make your services even more inclusive and appreciated by the community. I noticed that there is no available discount for all seniors, even those holding valid concession cards. As seniors have contributed so much to our society, it would be a great gesture of respect and support to offer them the same privileges other places provide, such as concession discounts. Many seniors are on fixed incomes, and a small discount can make a big difference for them. Providing this benefit would not only show care and consideration, but it could also encourage more seniors to visit and enjoy everything Tangalooma has to offer. Thank you for considering this feedback. I truly hope it helps in making your beautiful resort even more welcoming for everyone. Kind regards, Flordeliza Shone
Flordeliza S — Google review
Definitely don’t join the wild dolphin feeding—it’s not worth it and heavily oversold. You might end up with 2-3 people sharing one fish to feed a dolphin, meaning some people just pay to watch a dolphin for 5 seconds. Instead, you can observe from the pier for free without getting wet. They don't allow flash light on the beach but their photographers are using them, what a joke.
Sean T — Google review
Great experience feeding the dolphins 🐬. There were quite a few. There were many people in the lines but seemed to flow nicely. If you don't want to participate in feeding the dolphins or have young ones that are nervous you can watch from closeby along the wharf. Very cool 😎
J T — Google review
They did things rather differently this time. Not a fan of having to pay for this in order to stay for a later ferry time, but glad for the way the staff managed the situation to account for the changes in the wild dolphins. Only 4 showed up and they still accounted for the wellbeing of not overfeeding the dolphins and risking negative feelings from tourists who've paid for this. Well done guys!

A-may-sing wild dolphins feeding experience at a very safe and secured spot on the sea shores. Close to ferry drop off. Complimentary with King deluxe room. We enjoyed their service and great staff. Clicked amazing pictures 📸 $35 for printout or $70 with digital/printout. A little extra on hands. But their level of effort is what we pay for. Great team work. Dedicated staff, very bold and courageous. Definitely, a lifetime experience feeding wild 🐬 dolphins.

Bee Gees Way is a unique walkway in Redcliffe, Queensland that pays tribute to the iconic pop group, the Bee Gees. The walkway features statues, photos, and a musical light show celebrating the musical legacy of the Gibb brothers. Despite initial skepticism about its connection to the band, visitors are moved by learning more about the brothers' history and their ties to Redcliffe.
**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Visit for Bee Gees Fans!** The Bee Gees Way in Redcliffe is an absolute gem! Whether you're a lifelong fan or just appreciate great music history, this outdoor tribute is a fantastic experience. The 70 metre long walkway is beautifully designed, featuring stunning photos, video displays, and fascinating insights into the legendary band's journey from Redcliffe to worldwide fame. The nighttime light show adds a magical touch, and the life-size bronze statues of the Gibbs as a young group, and more statues as more mature stars, make for great photo opportunities. It’s a well-maintained, informative, and heartfelt tribute to one of the greatest musical groups of all time. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

First of all, what a great service the ferry provides. This is a lovely terminal, you can see it is well maintained. Now, second thing - hooley dooley I saw one of Godzilla’s relatives hanging out on the rocks after disembarking the ferry. For a second I thought I’d caught the ferry to Jurassic park because there was a dinosaur sitting right there as we walked out. “Look, there is a big lizard.” I heard a man say. He wasn’t wrong! Just in case you haven’t got the implication there - he was right.

Beautiful scenery and good photo taking opportunities. Food is a little on the expensive side but worth the experience. Some restaurants you can eat for $12-15/pp, however some are $30+/pp. Would be amazing to watch the sunset here! Also has a nice boardwalk if you are into walking by the water.

Beautiful area! Within walking distance to the CBD and botanical gardens. Beautiful outlook over the river, with boats moored in front and Kangaroo Points cliffs towering up on the other side. The high rise architectural design here is phenominal. There are walking and bike tracks all along the river. The cafes here cater to the high class consumer with a diverse range of cultural gastronomy on offer (i.e.; latin, asian, western cuisine etc and coffee). Unfortunately the area lacks options for those on a lower budget. Otherwise it is a very pituresque area, well worth investigating!

What an amazing beautiful hotel. Absolutely stunning. The staff member who we signed in with, was amazing too, we we t in the wrong parking, & she sorted that out a.s.a.p. Lovely girl, unfortunately we didn't get her name. The rooms are stunning, we've stayed in wonderful hotels around the world. l really believe that was probably the best. Food good too. Beds oh my goodness like sleeping on air. l will be buying some of the bedding, so soft, tremendous. Cleaning brilliant & very quick. 100% recommend.

Highlight: Beds are SO comfortable. Great location in the city. It’s a very old building, which on one hand is beautiful but on the other hand has some issues. Example: 2 of the 3 elevators were down during my stay. Example: some of the windows don’t open. The parking is unfortunately a huge hassle and pretty long walk (since the elevator is down). Their parking structure is shared to the public, so it’s very busy and hard to find a space.

A surprise birthday treat for me by my wife meant an evening composed of various events. We therefore needed some flexibility in order to meet with the different time schedules organised. Our first stop was the Treasury Hotel, with a plan to park earlier in the day as my wife had work commitments. Reception arranged an early book in which allowed the whole event to run with ease and the room was just what we required. It was classic splendour, a ceiling around 20 ft high with solid walls in a quiet location formed around a quadrangle or courtyard providing privacy and it ensured a good night's sleep for me. The neo Italian renaissance style was present in the hotel room construction also adding further grandeur to any occasion with support pillars and a ceiling utilising a classic beam structure. A great place to stay for any occasion.

We had a good experience at the Treasury. We landed in Brisbane early in the morning and got to the hotel around 9am. They will hold your bags for you and bring them up to the room when it’s ready. They texted us that the room was ready well before the listed check-in time. The staff were friendly and professional. The hotel is nicely decorated and has a classic feel. The property has a gym, which was empty and opened until 10:00pm. Had a good selection of weights and cardio machines. The room itself was pretty standard. It came with a balcony overlooking the square, but we did not use it. The bathroom is also pretty spacious. There was an issue with a water leakage in the hotel itself, but staff took care of it quickly during the day. They also gave us complementary fruit! Which was nice. Overall the location, price, and value was great and I’d recommend the Treasury if you’re standing in CBD, Brisbane.

We had a wonderful stay at the Treasury Hotel Brisbane. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. A special thanks to the team at the front desk — my wife accidentally left a gift in the lobby, and they went out of their way to locate and return it to us quickly. That level of care really stood out. The hotel itself is beautiful and full of character, but it’s the people who made the experience memorable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Brisbane.

Absolutely stunning historical hotel. If I was to stay in Brisbane again, I would definitely love to return. We had dinner in the restaurant 2 nights, and I have to say the Pizza was one of the best we have had. Breakfast was a good choice. Valet parking was ideal. Each and every staff member, no matter where in the hotel they worked, were lovely. Southbank was also in close proximity for wonderful evening walks. You would not be disappointed with a stay here at The Treasury Hotel, and I hope we can return one day for another stay.

Great location - easy walking distance to queen street mall and casino. Charming heritage hotel - little worn - but very clean. Staff were friendly and unassuming- any concerns were swiftly addressed which was lovely. Car park still a decent hike with no lift access, fire stairs might be a bit challenging for those with mobility issues Super quiet and even though lots of people walking down below (drunken shenanigans!) couldn’t hear anything from the suites.

Botanical garden

Gardens
Nestled in the heart of Brisbane, the City Botanic Gardens is a captivating botanical haven that offers a diverse range of plant life, tranquil ponds, and inviting picnic areas. This verdant oasis serves as a living museum of botanical collections and provides an idyllic escape from the urban hustle and bustle. Visitors can explore manicured lawns, riverside pathways shaded by majestic fig trees, and charming ponds inhabited by ducks.
Peaceful escape right in Brisbane’s city centre 🌿📸 City Botanic Gardens is one of those places that instantly slows you down. The mix of riverside views, tall palm avenues, and giant fig trees makes it super photogenic — especially around sunrise or sunset when the light hits the water. I love coming here for a quiet walk, a jog, or to just sit under the trees and watch the city go by. The pathways are well-maintained, and there are plenty of open lawns perfect for picnics. Don’t miss the mangrove boardwalk — it’s a hidden gem and great for nature shots. There’s also a small café near the entrance if you want coffee with a view, and QUT and the ferry terminal are just a short walk away, so it’s really easy to get here.

Nice area for a walk right next to CBD although it did feel more like a park as opposed to a botanical garden. Lots of areas were also under maintenance or blocked out for improvements during our visit. The walking area next to the river is nice and calming, and overall the park in general does give you a little bit of that separation from city bustle. Public toilets available though I didn't go in to check condition. Free access.

Located right in the heart of Brisbane, the Botanic Gardens feel like a completely different world — a peaceful retreat surrounded by lush greenery. Right beside the city’s skyscrapers, you can enjoy the striking contrast between nature and urban life. A pond with fountains, colorful flowers, and tropical plants welcome you, making every step along the paths soothing and refreshing✨ It’s perfect for a walk or picnic, and truly serves as an oasis in the middle of sightseeing. —A precious moment to take a deep breath and relax, right in the center of the city🪴

We took a walk in the Botanic Gardens at dawn, and it was absolutely tranquil and beautiful. We watched the sunrise from the riverwalk before wandering into the garden. Even at dawn, the pathways were softly lit with ambient lights, creating a magical and peaceful atmosphere. A truly lovely experience!

One of the reasons I always admire Australia and New Zealand: spaces like the City Botanic Gardens. So beautifully maintained and preserved, it’s hard to believe you’re still in the middle of the city. Walking through the lush greenery is incredibly peaceful, and there’s something genuinely refreshing about being surrounded by nature like this.

The City Cat Terminal South Bank offers an affordable and enjoyable way to experience Brisbane from the water. The terminal is well-designed, with ample space and efficient processes for boarding. Riding the City Cat provides stunning views of the city's landmarks, bridges, and parks along the Brisbane River. Whether you're a visitor or a local, this experience is highly recommended for getting a different perspective of Brisbane's lifestyle and architecture.
What an amazing customer focused crew. I left my bag behind on one of the ferries and the crew organised retrieval within 1/2 hour. Must be a great job, as every crew member was happy, talkative and so polite. Gavin from Southbank stop was delightful to all customers, making them laugh and enjoy their experience. Well done City Cat.

We were in Brisbane for medical reasons and had had a rough few days. Catching the City Cat was just what we needed. Joseph in particular was incredibly kind and funny and brightened our day. The crew made a big effort to help people and have genuine conversations. I was so grateful and impressed. If you’re like me and think “I’ll wing it and do the whole loop” be aware it’s really long and goes for more than 2 hours!!

City Cat Terminal South Bank like the other City Cat Terminal’s is great. Travelling to South Bank on a City Cat is the best option to get to South Bank. No hassle with parking, as well as riding on the Brisbane River. The staff are always helpful when notifications on the stop that’s approaching. Staff are helpful with any questions that you may have. Jump on a City Cat to South Bank and enjoy the ride.

Bossy staff, only letting 8 people on the ferry at a time (although the ferry offered much more seats). We waited for half an hour and then still didn't get on the ferry, so we decided to take the bus instead. Bit disappointing. Place was clean though and offered enough seats in the waiting area.

Great trip on the river around the city. Nice new and clean stations, friendly staff, clean and tidy ferry's. BUT NO WAY TO BUY A TICKET. You've got services, crew on board, lighting and power just put in a kiosk where you can purchase a go card. Extremely frustrating when you are travelling from interstate. Failing that how about an app on ya fone
Nathan C — Google review
This is a review of the CityCats rather than this particular CityCat terminal- which is all much the same. Riding a CityCat is a must for any visitor to Brisbane and a surprisingly rewarding experience for locals. This is the ultimate way to see the variety of Brisbane lifestyle, buildings and landmarks in a relatively inexpensive and easy to use service. Depending on how much have, you can explore Brisbane from the quiet rescue residential area of St Lucia to the busy reaches of the Brisbane river around Hamilton. The CityCat is part of the TransLink network so you use your GoCard or [or it’s soon to be introduced Smart Ticketing] Simply tap on and ride the CityCat for the entire round trip. For example, if you get on at South Bank, go upstream to the University of Qld, stay on the boat and then go right to Hamilton, stay on the boat and return to South Bank. That round would trip will take about two hours and 40 minutes all up. The off-peak cost for an adult at the time of writing is $3.37. But you can jump on and off and off and if you get back on without an hour it is considered as a continuation of your journey for the one fare. The new generation of CityCats has a top deck that you ride on. Otherwise, the front or rear decks provide an exhilarating experience. Full details of the CityCats are at the TransLink website or the Translink app

Scenic spot
Sights & Landmarks

Mount Coot-Tha Summit Lookout offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city and its surroundings. It is a popular spot to watch the sunset, with vibrant colors painting the sky as twilight approaches. The lookout is located near Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mount Coot-tha, a 138-acre subtropical conservatory featuring diverse native and exotic plants, including the largest collection of Australian rainforest trees in the world.
This place is absolutely incredible. It’s a recreational spot where you can literally see the entire city of Brisbane, and you truly need a whole day to take in all its beauty. There’s a forested area with amazing weather and incredible plants. I highly recommend it. Honestly, until someone goes there themselves, they can’t believe how great it is.

The best place I’ve ever been to. The kind of place that makes your heart happy just by looking at nature. We went there when it was raining, and it was so beautiful that we couldn’t stop admiring the greenery. I absolutely loved this place and would love to visit again.
Syeda R — Google review
A very good place to view the entire Brisbane city. Super view from the watch tower. It is recommended to bring food on your own or there is a restaurant which has been and food items but costly. The parking looks free. But I need to check again. Rest everything is good. Nice place to relax. I went at night and the view was amazing. Feels like sitting in an aircraft and flying too close on top of a metropolitan city. I couldn't identify any locations on my first visit. But I liked it a lot. Using good binoculars are highly recommended on locations like this. Here I'm uploading some views from here during the night.

A Breathtaking Oasis: Mount Cootha Review Tucked away in the heart of Brisbane, Mount Cootha is a hidden gem that promises an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages. Our recent family outing to this stunning destination was nothing short of spectacular.

The tranquil atmosphere was palpable, with the sounds of nature and gentle breezes creating a soothing melody. The panoramic views from the summit were simply breathtaking – a perfect blend of natural beauty and urban landscape. To refuel and recharge, we headed to the conveniently located restaurant, which offered an impressive array of delicious options to cater to diverse tastes and dietary requirements. From hearty breakfast dishes to lighter snacks, there was something for everyone. What struck us most about Mount Cootha was its ability to seamlessly blend natural serenity with modern amenities, making it an ideal destination for families, couples, and solo travelers alike. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat, an action-packed adventure, or simply a unique perspective on the city, Mount Cootha is sure to exceed your expectations. *Highly Recommended Highlights:* - Breathtaking panoramic views, especially during sunrise - Tranquil atmosphere and natural beauty - Conveniently located restaurant with diverse options - Family-friendly and accessible - Perfect for a serene and enjoyable outing If you're looking for a unique and unforgettable experience in Brisbane, Mount Cootha should be at the top of your list!
Naveen L — Google review
One of the famous spots to visit in Brisbane. This place is accessible with public transport. You can catch a bus here from the city. This is the place where you can see the views of Brisbane City from top. Nonetheless, there is not much to see besides the city views. The views might not be the best, but it is also because we came in the afternoon. Based on other reviews, it’s best to come here during sunrise or sunset to see a more breathtaking view of the city from top.

Zoo

Nature & Wildlife Areas
Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, located just north of Brisbane's CBD, is the world's largest koala sanctuary and a haven for Australian native wildlife. Visitors can watch koalas lounging in gumtrees, hand-feed kangaroos, and observe endangered species like the cassowary. The sanctuary offers keeper talks throughout the day and opportunities to learn about various Aussie wildlife while exploring at your own pace.
Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is truly one of Brisbane’s most special attractions and a must-visit for anyone who loves animals. From the moment you walk in, the natural bushland setting makes you feel close to wildlife in a peaceful environment. The highlight, of course, is the koalas—you can see them up close, learn about their habits, and even have the chance to gently hold one for a photo, which is an unforgettable experience. Beyond koalas, the sanctuary offers so much more. You can hand-feed kangaroos in a large open field, watch platypuses swimming, and see a variety of native birds, reptiles, and farm animals. The daily keeper talks and shows are both fun and educational, making it a great place for families and kids to learn about Australia’s unique wildlife. The staff are friendly and clearly passionate about animal care and conservation, which adds to the overall experience. The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and easy to navigate, with plenty of shaded areas to rest. There’s also a nice café with good food and drinks. Overall, Lone Pine is not just a sanctuary but a place where you truly connect with nature. Highly recommended for locals and visitors alike!

Easy to reach using private or public transport from the QBD. The venue hosts different species not just koalas but also Kangaroos, crocodiles, reptiles, birds. For the welfare of animals koalas cannot be hugged but guests can pay more to see them closer and cuddle them with the supervision of staff. Everybody working seemed professional and committed to preserve the welfare of the animals. A bit pricy, but considering what you get it is still worth a visit.

A must-visit in Brisbane! Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is an amazing experience where you can get up close with koalas, kangaroos, and so many native Australian animals.

Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is a must-visit considering it's status as the world's first, oldest, and largest koala sanctuary in the world. It was truly a special experience seeing and interacting with the koalas and kangaroos up close especially in the huge free-roam area where the kangaroos were. The park is very well-maintained, with a number of other sections with a variety of other insects and animals. Definitely worth a visit if ever in Brisbane!

Is a fantastic place to visit, you can be with the Kanguru and give them a special food. if you pay a little more you can touch the koala for some minutes and take pretty nice pictures. The sanctuary space is beautiful with a very good structure, with birds, crocodile and more.

Amazing place to visit if you want to get up close and personal with Australia's (more friendly) wildlife. Got to feed Wallabies and kangaroos and saw loads more as well. Visited via the river cruise from the city and that was a great way to do it. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Brisbane.

Fantastic for the whole family. The owl encounter far exceeded my expectations. Leanne and the team have so much knowledge and really know how to respect the animals and also have them guided over in a way that they seemed to be genuinely having fun. Beautiful lay out, and the Koalas were so very special.
Joy J — Google review
Excellent experience kangaroos can be fed. The Tasmanian Devil looks soft but look at those jaws and teeth. Koala are always good to watch. So is the Platypus we saw a central python as well as all the other birds and animals. Well worth the entry fee. You may want to get there early before the crowds come in we went on a week day and by lunch time there were people everywhere

Sirromet Winery

Sirromet Winery, a family-run establishment, is a popular destination in Brisbane offering tours, tastings, events, and a Tuscan restaurant with outdoor seating. It's known for its picturesque setting with rolling green pastures and live music events. Visitors can enjoy picnics on the lavender hill, take winery tours, or savor Tuscan-style lunches on the terrace.
A Perfect Family Day at Sirromet Winery Sirromet. Winery is an absolute gem! The setup is stunning with panoramic views and a relaxing atmosphere. We dined at the Tuscany Terrace and everything from the antipasto to the lasagna was delicious. The starters and sides paired perfectly with the red Shiraz we ordered. After our meal, we took a walk through the beautiful grounds and spotted several wallabies and even a few joeys — such a treat for the kids! It’s a fantastic spot for a family outing or gathering. Great food, great wine, and a truly memorable experience. A must-visit if you’re in the area!

This review is for the Harry Potter Forbidden Forest Experience. The experience was wonderful and I had a lovely evening. The sound effects and visual were great and the experience did feel magical. My only let down was the pricing. The experience was very expensive, which didn’t even include increased pricing on weekends, the parking at the venue, and the food/merchandise at the event. I went alone, but even on a comfortable income would have had a hard time taking a small family to the event, as the cost was just so high. I think it could be made more affordable so that it could be more accessible to young families. For example, a cup of butterbeer (soft drink) in a Harry Potter plastic novelty cup was $25. The drink without the cup was $12. This was unnecessarily expensive for the cup of soft drink and the novelty cup, which parents may want to treat their kids to.
Hannah B — Google review
Sirromet is absolutely stunning – the location and atmosphere are second to none. The wine tasting was the real highlight: informative, well-organised, and the wines themselves were excellent. The food, however, was just average. Dishes were okay but nothing memorable, some lacked seasoning and overall didn’t live up to the standard set by the wines or the setting. Service was polite, but the 3 course lunch experience felt underwhelming given the reputation. Worth visiting for the wines and the views, but I wouldn’t come here just for the foods.

Beautiful location and facilities. The stay and dine tour was great value. The tour was basic but enjoyable and nice to try the varieties. The accommodation and grounds were great. Surrounded by local flora and fauna. However, the dinner and breakfast were a bit underwhelming considering the calibre of the venue. Overall, it was a very enjoyable stay and would recommend it, especially the package.

We celebrated my husband’s birthday here yesterday — our first time dining at Tucan Terrance . The atmosphere was lovely, and the staff provided excellent service, definitely full marks from us. We tried the fish of the day and the lamb shoulder. While the flavors weren’t particularly remarkable, the dishes were still tasty and enjoyable. A small suggestion: the lamb shoulder could come with a few more vegetables on the side. Overall, a very pleasant experience!

Disappointing Stay at Sirromet Winery – Poor Service and Lack of Hospitality My stay at Sirromet Winery yesterday was, unfortunately, a frustrating and disappointing experience, marred by consistently poor service and a lack of basic hospitality across multiple touchpoints. From the moment we arrived, the reception staff were unhelpful and unwelcoming. Checking in felt like an inconvenience to them, with no effort made to provide basic information about the property. Instead of being offered guidance on facilities, we were left to fend for ourselves, as were other guests who appeared equally lost. This lack of direction set a poor tone for the stay. The service issues continued at the restaurant. When attempting to make a dinner reservation, we were curtly told it was "full," only for a table to magically become available after we mentioned we were staying on-site. This reluctance to accommodate guests was frustrating and made us feel like an afterthought. The cellar door experience was equally disappointing. During a wine tasting, we were provided with dusty glasses, one of which had a chipped rim. After pointing this out, the wine had to be re-poured, likely due to contamination from a polishing cloth. Additionally, when asked to choose a drinking cup, we found every cup in the tray was dirty, which we had to demonstrate to the disinterested staff. After a long day we went to bed, the rooms are pretty good and clean, however the noise from the event next door kept going past 10pm, and finally they turned of the loud speakers at 10:50pm. Another thing that would of been nice to know from staff, hey guys just so you know expect it to be super loud up till almost 11. At least we would be expecting it. At breakfast, the wrong food was delivered, forcing one of us to wait while the other ate, further highlighting the staff’s inattention to detail. Basic customer service was nonexistent across the board. Simple requests felt like pulling teeth, and the staff’s attitude suggested guests were an inconvenience. While a large event (Harry Potter) was happening, this did not excuse the failure to deliver on standard hospitality expectations, such as clean glassware, accurate food orders, or clear communication. For a venue marketed as a premium getaway, Sirromet fell short in every way. We witnessed at least four occasions where different people stopped their cars, rolled down their windows, and asked us for directions to reception or parking. A group of about 15 people was seen wandering aimlessly down the road past the sanctuary until Harry Potter event security directed them toward the winery. Seeing others struggle with the same lack of assistance amplified the poor vibe. Good luck getting return customers, as the customer service culture at this winery is far from what it should be. Does Sirromet have any staff to coordinate events or manage busy times? If there was someone at the property entrance with a smile, offering basic information or guiding guests, perhaps even an information desk, our perspective on the stay might have been different, as the grounds and product are quite nice—just badly managed and coordinated. If you’re staying here for the first time, especially during a busy period, expect to spend a few extra hours wandering aimlessly to figure the place out, as staff assistance is virtually nonexistent.

Visited this winery today with friends. The setting is absolutely beautiful, especially on a sunny day like today — the views and overall atmosphere were lovely and relaxing. However, we were a bit let down by the lack of warmth and hospitality from the staff. It didn’t feel as welcoming as we had hoped, which took away from the overall experience a bit. We did the $35 wine tasting tour, which was okay — not amazing, but fair for the price. A few of the wines were enjoyable, though nothing really stood out. All in all, it’s a pretty place to spend some time, but we were expecting a bit more in terms of service and overall experience.

If you're looking for an exhilarating family outing, Kingston Park Raceway is the perfect destination nestled conveniently between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. This thrilling venue boasts over 100 go-karts and three fantastic outdoor tracks designed to challenge drivers of all skill levels. With a remarkable 1100m international standard track, both kids and adults can experience the rush of speed in a safe environment. Kingston Park Raceway isn't just about racing; it's also an ideal spot for birthday parties or group events.
Been here a couple of times, it's actually one of my son's favourite places to go! Their customer service is always top-notch. Sometimes you will find others on the track can be a bit rude, (banging into you or cutting you off) which is something to be aware of. Staff are super on-top of it though which is fantastic. It can be on the pricier side, but it is well worth the price, experience wise. We will be back!

Just wow, What a wonderful experience. 🙏🏻❤️ My partner and I had such a blast. We are travellers from Victoria so not a big venture but one of all the same, I’ve been dreaming of coming here since I was a kid and the dream finally came true. A beautiful dream it was and a beautiful time we had! Through out the whole day we ventured through almost everything! We will be back!!! Given the fact that we messed around a lot it was still jam packed with so much. From the steel taipan roller coaster which was completely jaw dropping and left us shaking, to the wild life area where we tip toed around the massive crocodiles and beautiful birds. It’s funny as we walked around I was tranced on the fact that I could imagine how much I would have loved it there when I was younger. There’s a variety of different activities for all different ages and everything is so welcoming. I’ll be sure to bring little ones along with us next time to share this experience. The foods quick and easy, the price of goods is fair with the way the economy is today as well. As for wait times, there weren’t really any? But, when there was I can’t complain about it as it paid off and was well worth waiting. Thank you dream world 🙏🏻❤️we loved every second of being here!

It's been several years since my last visit, no issues with rides being under maintenance, however, we just seemed to get bored quickly and didn't spend the full day. Still good for little kids. I just remember there being more to do in the past for teens/adults and maybe that's why the queues were long, even in off peak. Glad we got heavily discounted tix. New restaurant was good. Despite all this, was a less frustrating experience than Movieworld (where almost everything was experiencing technical issues at least once or twice through the day).

I feel so lucky that I jumped on the amazing Locals annual pass deal! My daughter and I love all the offerings at Dreamworld. After spending 2 season passes at Village, everything is so refreshing at Dreamworld, and it's all conveniently in (essentially) one park!

I visited Dreamworld today for my birthday and it couldn’t have been a better way to celebrate! I went on the Giant Drop, Steel Taipan, Jungle Rush and Serpent Slayer every ride was amazing. The staff were fantastic and made the whole experience feel really fun, welcoming and safe. Such an incredible birthday outing with awesome rides and great vibes all day.

Love wiggle bay for our lil ones. Went on a weekday arvo 3-5pm) so it was quiet and not chaotic. We purchased annual passes during the buy 3, get 1 free sale in august. So worth it.

Long queues but the priority access made it easy. Did you rides easily even after reaching late. Had lots of fun!

Great water park, clean, well run and loads of fun. Awesome slides and plenty of spots to relax. Great for younger kids, and worth getting the annual ticket if a local.
Kerbray — Google review
I recently visited this water park and was thoroughly impressed. The facilities were immaculate, and the staff were incredibly attentive. The variety of attractions catered to all ages, making it a perfect family outing. The water slides were exhilarating. Overall, it was an outstanding experience that I highly recommend.

They sell services they are not equipped to handle. Severely understaffed. Most stores not opened. They sell unlimited refills for drinks online with no facility to actually refill them without waiting for over an hour in the same line at the 1 store open in the entire park to buy all drinks and food. The eating area is full of people waiting to be served and not actually eating.
Colin F — Google review
I would never come back. Slides purposely slowed down to make reason for the ridiculously $100 price for 7 fast rides only. Everything is boring and slow lined up for 2 hours so far and still haven't been down a slide. Now the main water park is shut and we are just sitting on seat. By far the worst water park will NEVER come back. Movie World, Sea world and Wet n Wild are by far the absolute best places to go! And aren't a money pit for crap like WWW. Baby pool was the coldest pool we have been in at ANY THEME PARK ! Not even close to worth the price. And don't even get me started on waits for drink or food!!!
All A — Google review
1 hour wait lines for 30 secs of joy Not worth the price or energy and frustration waiting in lines as an interstate visitor 2 adults and 2 children - left halfway through the day to go to dreamworld instead 4 slides in 4 hours ain’t cutting it Some slides had 2-3 mins down time between sliders for what??!! The 8 slide only had 5 lines open then they would send single riders or 2 riders down at once with a 2 min break at the end I understand safety but it’s actually ridiculous and feel it could be done so much better Opening during the week days would be so much better Will not be returning
Kimberley I — Google review
The water park was extremely disappointing. Some of the best slides were not operating at all, and even the ones that were open suddenly turned into 45-minute waits without any explanation. I spent around three hours there and managed to go on only four slides in total — which is ridiculous for a place that advertises itself as a full water park experience. There was no information provided about which slides were open, why queues stopped, or what was causing the delays. The whole place felt poorly organized and completely not worth the money. Honestly, it feels like a real scam.

Warner Bros. Movie World

Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Amusement park
Warner Bros. Movie World is a film-themed amusement park that offers an exhilarating experience for visitors of all ages. The park features thrilling rides, including the DC Rivals HyperCoaster, as well as live stunt shows such as the Hollywood Stunt Driver show. Families can meet their favorite characters from movies and cartoons, with opportunities to interact with superheroes and stars during daily parades.
Warner Bros. Movie World on the Gold Coast is a place that instantly brings out your inner child. From the nostalgic charm of classics like The Wizard of Oz to the thrill of seeing DC superheroes come to life, it’s an adventure that blends excitement, fun, and imagination all in one. The park is full of energy, with plenty to explore, and every corner feels like stepping into a scene from a movie. The roller coasters are the highlight for thrill-seekers. Some of the rides feature heart-stopping vertical drops, high-speed twists, and spins that leave you breathless and exhilarated. The Joker’s coaster, in particular, is an unforgettable adrenaline rush — easily one of the best rides if you love pure thrills. It’s the kind of ride that makes you want to go back just for another round. Beyond the rides, the park has plenty of charm and souvenirs worth taking home. My wife picked up a beautiful charm bracelet featuring beloved characters, and it’s one of those keepsakes that captures the magic of the visit perfectly. For those planning a trip, the 5-day pass is highly recommended. It gives access to other attractions like Sea World and Wet’n’Wild, allowing you to take your time and enjoy multiple adventures. Overall, the experience is simply magical — a perfect mix of childhood nostalgia and high-octane fun. 🎢✨

It’s Movie World, what more can I say. Well… for those wishing to read on… it’s a brilliant place. To get my only major ‘knock’ out of the way, it’s the lines. They’re a pain in the …., especially when you have young kids waiting. But hey, it’s Movie World. Several rides were closed which was a shame so helpful tip - download the App before attending and it’ll tell you which rides are offline and what each rides wait time is. Very handy. We took our own food to save some $$$ however from what we saw it was reasonably priced. Sincehaving attending in previous years, the overall place does seem to have lost a little of its vibe. Not as many people / characters dressed up, some shops and displays closed, and the usually fantastic street parade was a little lacklustre compared to other times we’ve seen it. With that all said, overall, awesome day out!
Corrie B — Google review
We had a fantastic day at Movie World! The rides were exciting and so much fun absolutely loved DC roller coaster 🎢 . The Hollywood Stunt Driver show was an absolute highlight, full of energy and impressive action. The character parade added a nice touch to the experience too. The only downside was the limited vegan and vegetarian food options, which made it a bit hard to find suitable meals during the day. Hopefully, they’ll add more variety in the future. Overall, it’s a great day out filled with fun rides, shows, and entertainment!

Must visit if you are in Gold Coast. There are rides for every age. Driving school is my kids favourite. We were there during non-school holidays. Even that, the waiting times for the popular rides were averagely around 30mins. Can't imagine how it would be during the school holidays. Maybe it's worth getting the fast track pass at $121 to speed things up. But be aware, you can only use it ONCE per ride. At least you get to decide which ride you wanna spend time queueing up again for a second round. I don't think you can possibly finish trying all the rides in a day without the fast pass. It can get really sunny during the queueing up. If you don't wanna get sunburn or tanned, prepare some UV protection - UV parka etc. Wild West Falls Adventure Ride should be improved to have shelves for riders to keep their bulky belonging prior to the ride. We were required to carry everything along. I was so worried that my belongings would fly out from my handbag! The most thrilling ride is the DC Rivals. Seriously the best rollercoaster ride I've ever had! Green lantern is awesome too. We had a blast! Thanks for the fun!
Amber M — Google review
There’s something surreal about walking down a street and suddenly crossing paths with Superman, Marilyn Monroe, or Joker. It’s like stepping right into the movies, and it adds so much energy to the day. The characters aren’t just for kids—they make the whole park feel alive, and I’ll admit I couldn’t resist stopping for photos. Of course, the rides are every bit as unforgettable. The DC Rivals HyperCoaster is the crown jewel—tall, fast, and absolutely relentless. The first drop had my stomach in my throat, but by the time I got off I was grinning ear to ear. The Superman Escape and other thrill rides keep the adrenaline going, so you’ve always got something to look forward to between character encounters. Movie World is the rare kind of theme park that balances high-energy thrills with Hollywood magic. For me, it was the perfect mix—racing down roller coasters one minute, then running into Superman the next. If you’re after big rides and a bit of movie magic, this place delivers both in spades.

This location offers an excellent visitor experience, featuring impressive production sets and exhilarating rides. The motor stunts are a particular highlight, providing an authentic portrayal of a scripted stunt narrative. While the overall experience was positive, it did not surpass Universal Studios Singapore.

Fantastic day out. Facilities and assistance for people with disabilities is excellent. Make sure to go to guest services for all the information. The parade was a bit disappointing. Needs more glitz, glamor and more excitement. It was very short. Overall, our family had a wonderful time.

Nice park, not too big, but definitely has some great rides like the Joker one. Unfortunately, almost half of the park was closed when we were there and the ticket was still full price. Anyway, great little park, and the new rides and theme is very nice!

Paradise Country is a popular farm on the Gold Coast that offers an authentic Australian farm experience for families. Visitors can enjoy encounters with koalas, wombats, and kangaroos, as well as tractor tours and gold-panning experiences. The farm provides a traditional bush culture experience, allowing kids to feed kangaroos, take photos with koalas, watch shearers and stockmen in action, and try activities like boomerang throwing.
Great little Nature park. We got to hold a koala and pat the dingo (paid experience). So many koalas and kangaroos which you can get up close too. Nice little train ride and a few shows throughout the day. Good for little ones as not as much walking as currumbin
Kirstin H — Google review
We had such a good day at the farm. It’s really spacious and relaxed, and the animals are super friendly. The kids had a blast brushing the goats and checking out all the animals up close. The tractor ride was fun, and the $10 pony rides are a great option for the little ones. We also caught the sheepdog show—it was honestly one of the highlights, really fun to watch. You can even take a photo with a koala, which is a nice extra if you want a cute souvenir. Overall, it was a great atmosphere and just a fun place to spend time as a family. We’ll definitely be back.

We had a fantastic time at Paradise Country! the staff were wonderful and we really enjoyed the activities they had on offer. We did the opal mine and you can tell Sarah loves her job because she was super sweet and matched my kids excitement and even made safety equipment seem exciting which not a lot of people can do. She answered all of our questions and guided through the whole activity. The food in the restaurant was really good and well priced compared to other theme parks and all the animals looked super healthy and happy! I can’t wait for our next trip back.

Out of all the theme parks to visit Paradise Country was our favourite place. The animals were beautiful and it was such a relaxing calm environment to explore. The staff were also very helpful and kind and my son loved the mining activities and riding a pony. We also loved the Shaun the Sheep theme!

We had an amazing time at Paradise Country! The staff were awesome and we loved all the activities they had going on. The animals were gorgeous and it was such a peaceful, relaxing place to explore. We got to hold a Koala and the kids got to go on a pony ride (both at a fair price).
Sri — Google review
I didn't take many pictures. Sites on a slope so you need to prop up one side. Power and water easily accessible. Little bit to see and do around the park. Though I think shows have been repeated many years. Bit of a walk to outback spectacular. Oh roosters make a lot of noise in the morning.... definitely country feel... perhaps to much noise.
Brendan M — Google review
We love coming to Paradise Country because my 4-year-old daughter enjoys it so much. The relaxed country atmosphere and variety of animals make every visit special. The staff are always wonderful and friendly. Today, after the 1:30pm Shaun the Sheep show, my daughter was disappointed when The Burrow café had already closed and she couldn’t get the ice cream sunday that I promised her. Thankfully, Nikita kindly reopened the cafe and prepared my daughter's treat. It truly made our day— please pass on our appreciation to the wonderful Nikita!

Food in the buffet was pretty average and said recommended for child friendly Well hardly - they offered hot chips and plain ice cream and playground isn't in view of restaurant. Parking is far away if not staying on-site and hardly sign posted, so we ended up drenched with 3 kids, even 39$ for adult + free child to eat was $$$! Would have enjoyed more relaxed, like a tavern or something with nicer staff etc

Such a great experience My first horse riding was so fun with the kind staffs. The horses are so friendly and the amazing view!!! Not only horse riding, feeding goats and cracking the whip were so much fun!
Kimmy ( — Google review
We spent a lovely day at Gummies. We booked a groupon 1/2 day horse riding tour and boomerang throwing and whip cracking. The horses were healthy and in good condition. 5 kids aged 6,7,8,9&10 and 2 adults, Gummies catered to us perfectly. Our kids had a great experience with home made damper for morning tea. Good value for money, especially for a different experience for school holidays. We spent a whole 1 hour riding, including trotting which made my kids day. It was at a slow and gentle pace which suits our kids ages and experience. The staff were chatty and welcoming.

Really enjoyable. I’m a total beginner with horse riding. I really enjoyed the relaxing ride around the farm with a small trot towards the end. Our host was super lovely and really inviting. Would recommend for kids and anyone wanting a beautiful day at the farm.

My granddaughter loved her horse ride on Star, she is nearly 6 and was a bit frightened to ride the trail but I must say the horses there are well cared for and extremely quiet for the young and inexperienced,and Courtney reassured her that she would be ok and gave her the confidence that she could do it, don't expect any big turnout it's very basic but we will be back

Beautiful, serene, quite, wild r a few words that describe this place. Lovely horse ride thru the neighbouring woods, got to see few kangaroos in the wild. Feeding goats, milking cow, learn how to use a whip and boomerang. Loved this place. Would definitely recommend.
Kunal P — Google review
This is a wonderful experience to introduce to young people. Horse rising, cow milking, boomerang throwing, whip cracking and feeding the goats. The horses were chosen according to the person. My daughter had a placid perfectly paced horse. She was scared at the beginning ( 6 yrsold) but the guides made her feel very comfortable. It was just a genuinely nice ride. Animals were well fed. I would have given 5 stars but I really thought that the manager whilst there could have possibly made a bit more of an effort to make things a bit more tidier. I wasn’t expecting a palace as I know it’s a farm however maybe just a little better managed with the cleaning side of things.the overall appearance.

A very relaxing and beautiful camping area and National Park. It is SO peaceful and just a few kilometres from Boonah. I travel in many National Parks but this one is very special and well looked after by the Rangers. Both camping areas are well designed: 1) The tent camping area has allocated tent areas of crushed dust so you can get your tent pegs in 2) the in-vehicle camping area is surrounded by safe trees. Because there are no dogs allowed, the Brush Tail Wallabies wander around and are great to watch. You will need to take your own water.

The lookout has two walking trails, both of which are quite flat and easy. The trail that leads to the lookout is wheelchair accessible. There are also multiple areas for rock climbers. The views from the lookout are spectacular. There are many barbecue areas and picnic benches, as well as multiple unisex and disabled toilets. Finally, there is a large amount of car parks.

This is an awesome place to visit. There are pic areas with electric BBQs, flushing toilets with baby changing facilities and bitumen covered roads and paths for a lot of it. There are a couple of short walks and they have magnificent views of the scenic rim. Well worth the drive!

A great place for day trip around Brisbane. Few hundred metres of gravel road to reach there. The toilets were clean and bush camping options available. Good view of the fassifern valley. Constant cricket noise was bit uneasy.
