I’ve been coming to this place since the early 90s with my family. It’s still amazing. Best place for shopping.

Got harassed and followed to my car by 2 security officers for taking a photo of the water where the restaurants are. I was filmed on their body cam and saw them noting down my rego as i was entering the car. I only took a photo to show my significant other because I’m from out of town. A lot of others were too but I was singled out. A respectful talk saying that photography wasnt allowed would have been better, but the way i was treated was like i was shoplifting or being a criminal. Wouldn’t recommend going here (Attached are the 3 “illegal” photos i took. Can’t believe that I was treated like this for these)

Im a man, I don’t love shopping. I have been in many countries around the 🌍 world. But sunshine plaza have something special, that’s why I spend lots of time here and I buy all what I need for home, for me and sometimes for my work in this amazing shopping centre. And my favourite thing about the plaza are this massage chairs haha Im addicted!!! 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️ Thanks Plaza! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Mauricio 🇮🇹🍀

Many shops around, we were looking for a place to eat and found Grill’d and Yochi for a well-deserved yoghurt dessert after our meal.

I’m not usually someone who enjoys shopping, but Sunshine Plaza has completely changed that for me. The atmosphere is so open, vibrant, and relaxed that it never feels like your typical crowded shopping centre. The beautiful river running through the middle, the lush greenery, and the breezy layout make it feel more like a resort than a mall. There’s an amazing mix of shops and plenty of quiet corners to sit, relax, or grab a coffee with a view. The centre is spotless, well laid out, and the staff are always friendly. Parking is easy, and there are great entertainment options like the cinema and paddle boats — perfect for a chill day out. Even as someone who usually dreads shopping trips, I actually look forward to coming here. Sunshine Plaza is a gem on the Sunshine Coast!

Sunshine plaza paws Park is a very good idea BUT it needs activities for the puppy's. Some shade areas also for the hot days and a sprinkler feature for them to play just some ideas for you from my puppy dog LuLu ( unofficial mascot of plaza )

A fabulous family friendly shopping, entertainment, food and beverage destination. A massive variety of large and small independent stores and eateries, offering everything you could possibly want. Lots of parking (first 3 hours are free). There are cinemas; boat rides for the children on the internal/external canal/river. Loads of restaurants / cafes, popular pop up's, for every desired taste, with food from around the world and several are licensed venues. Enjoy a couple of hours, or the whole day. The centre has a number of toilets placed at various levels, which are clean and well maintained. There are multiple escalators and lifts well positioned. An information booth for any queries.

Pretty place, the beach have amazing views, so clean and the water so blue, my fav beach to go sadly come in winter if nor probably already in water🌊💙

Easily one of my favorite places to visit. It’s really close to home and I think it’s a great place to be whether on the beach/grass/or up on the esplanade!

Great atmosphere. Beautiful beaches. Lots of eateries. Over priced ladies clothing shops. ( cheap clothing, noosa prices) A relaxing day out.

Nice white sand beach 🏖️ and many excellent food options, so foodies will love this place around

Beautiful beach but ko'd a star cos the works going on made it a pain in the arse to access , didn't hang around long cos we were only out exploring the local area and didn't bring sun protection.

Mooloolaba beach has always been a beautiful beach. Playgrounds for kids. Great shower and toilet facilities. Great Surf Lifesavers patrol the beach. Swim between the flags.

Wonderful beach ⛱️ Really enjoyed the experience here 😃

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!!

Was here 20 years ago as a kid, now back again as an adult. Still as incredible as ever! That said I miss the 2006 Jeep Fishtank. In where the engine was the filter system. Pretty mad lol.

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.

Great place to learn the history of Bribie island. The greetings from the moment we walked in from a very friendly lady/staff member who ensured we knew where even the basic bathrooms and debriefed us with the outline of the place, knowing we were newbies to the area. Very impressed with the whole experience. Thank you very much

A lovely free small museum full of lots of information and some artefacts recalling the history of Bribie Island. Periodical exhibitions of other things such as an art challenge exhibits or Da Vinci machines brought to life (currently). Right on the waterfront of Pumicestone Passage with beautiful calm waters and sandy beach. Air conditioned with a children's craft space and a unisex bathroom. Small gift shop. Parking adjacent and several eateries within easy walking distance and Brennan Park with a playground and good for picnics. Wheelchair friendly, including access ramp, bathroom and car parking.

The site was located next to the beach. Very well maintained and well presented. The receptionist was very friendly and welcomed us with a big smile. We had short and sweet time at the museum. It is free for all and opened on weekends too .

Loved it. Anything historical gets me in. This museum focuses on local history and points of interest. And it’s free!

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.

Wonderful, open until 3pm Sunday🌞🌞

Very interesting staff all friendly & helpful. Went to see Wildflowering by Design which was good & stayed to watch one of the movies 50 minutes. You just select your choice. Ian Fairweather the Artist who lived on Bribie & sold his works all over the world. Well worth a look.

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!

Came with the one day trip 3 activities included. Directly purchased with resort website. The ticket includes food and beverages. Worth the money. But the day lounge was not much facilities. Recommend doing the snorkeling before the paddle/kayak

Too bad we arrived the beach after heavy rains otherwise I believed this serene long-stretched beach must be very beautiful with colorful water colors. Pictures were taken at noon time but the sky was so dark. The beach also had a wrecked house at the end fallen into the sea.

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.

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.

The light show was great but had no music when I was there

Redcliffe is a lovely place..We started at the Rsl for lunch then went for a walk on the jetty..It was great to see all the teenagers enjoying themselves jumping into the water..Then over to Bee Gees Way..How great is it..There are statues of them and information galore..There is seating so you can watch the short movie..I'm amazed how they can have all this and it's not vandalised..Must be a fantastic community..Lots of lovely shops..There is a English fish and chip shop that we'll be returning to next year..I did get a ice cream in the Big kids ice creamery and some English lollies in the confectionery shop..I'll be back..

My wife and I live near Redcliffe and I have visited this 'walk through' tribute to the Bee Gees- many, many times. Great music, good spoken commentary. Excellent visuals, including video of the BG's performing. Well worth a visit. Nearly forgot - " it's a 100% Free Attraction!

If you’re an oldie like me and grew up with the BeeGees music then you’ll love this tribute walkway in Redcliffe, free access

Nice place for a walk and recommend to have a look in case you're in Brisbane. Close are trendy bars and caffes, we spend like half of the day there around.

My six-year-old daughter loves to listen to Bee Gees music, and thanks for having this place, we had knowledge about Bee Gees now.

What a beautiful experience! It is a nice remembrance wall.

I did the Tangalooma Adventure Day Pass for two days ($139), and it was an incredible experience. Definitely better value than the day tours if you’re comfortable using the equipment on your own. The pass includes 3 hours each of paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkeling, and fishing (or overnight fishing). A $100 deposit per day is required, and an additional refundable CASH deposit per fishing rod if you go overnight. The snorkeling was a highlight. Saw 3 turtles and plenty of fish around the wrecks! A tip: speak to the staff beforehand and try to kayak with the current/tide, otherwise you’ll use up a lot of time and energy just getting to the snorkel spots. Some downsides would be service, you had to ask where to grab things as they were busy and the kayaks were heavy had to drag them down the beach and back up when we were done. Hard when you’ve kayaked for 1.5h+ Overall, an amazing, flexible way to enjoy everything Tangalooma has to offer!

A heartfelt thank you to the lifeguards for their professional rescue and care. Today, the small boat we rented became stuck near the shipwreck due to the anchoring spot and the influence of the current. The lifeguards arrived swiftly to rescue us, offering great comfort and encouragement. Most importantly, my two daughters said that the two lifeguard brothers were so sunny and handsome, and the sight of them diving freely into the water after a quick three-second count became an unforgettable moment of our trip. The way my daughters looked at the lifeguards was as if they were watching superstars. ❤️ Once again, thank you, and I offer my respect along with a five-star, highly recommended review.

Such a wonderful day out. Ferry comfortable & not a long trip. Snorkel dive was easy & stunning. Directions abit scrambled/confusing, however lots of friendly staff to help. Recommend to book a tour then you have $25 food & drink voucher. Good value.

Worst experience ever, we booked a tour for parasailing, we had one go at first, which charged us money, then the tour guide suggested that we go a second round and that it’ll be free of charge. After the experience, we went back to the counter and they tricked us and said they never said it was free and charged the second round even more expensive . These staff targets tourists, they are very smooth with their lie, probably not their first rodeo into doing this.

I will give those guys 10 out of 5 stars. Due to my inexperience and strong current near the wrecks our motor boat anchor was stuck to ship wrecks. Those guys came to rescue and dived to sort things out for us. They are polite , efficient and extremely helpful. We will not forget what they have done for us.

We did the shipwreck snorkelling tour.. very cool we saw some sea turtles and some wobbegongs which was awesome. Our guide Mick was perfect for our group (including my 8 and 11 yo boys one of which was not confident about snorkelling) and in the end was dragging almost the full group behind with the ring.. poor bloke lol :).. the entire water sports crew were great thankyou to everyone it was a wild experience 10/10 and we were topped off with an epic lightning storm shortly after getting back to land. I just wish I had taken some photos.

Did the open water refresher in the pool followed by a wreck dive. Instructor was very friendly, professional and supportive. The other three staff involved also great. After the pool work they topped up our tanks to allow a full wreck dive.

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

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.

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 😎

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!

Amazing place to visit but unfortunately don’t have time to stay and feed the dolphins :(

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.

Dinner at the North Shore Eat Street was fantastic. I was so glad I could get there by ferry. I was able to enjoy the beautiful sights of Brisbane before the ferry arrived at the terminal. The eatery had a wide selection of food stalls, offering everything from grills and fry-ups to bakeries, fresh seafood, and desserts. The prices were very reasonable. After my feast, I enjoyed walking around and taking in the surroundings. Different bands, musicians, and artists were performing on various stages, making it both fun and relaxing. Definitely worth a visit.

People go on about how great this place is. They are right. It's fantastic. Helping make it a great place is that the patrons just want a chill, good time. No drama, no idiots, just people having a great time. There are various security staff dotted around and each of them has been friendly and keeping an eye on things from a professional distance. The food prices are not at a discount rate but they are completely reasonable given the environment. Multiple areas of entertainment going on and there's absolutely something for almost everyone. I've been here a number of times and impressed on each visit. This place appears, from a customer's perspective to be well run. Huge admiration to all involved in making this a great venue. The caterers, the organisers, people running their businesses, the staff that are constantly cleaning up and with a smile on their face. Thank you all for giving up your own Friday nights and weekends to give us a great place to be.

Had a nice experience here! We took a pleasant ferry ride to get to Northshore, and waited for some time before the opening time (yeah we arrived too early). Paid $6 per person (cashless only!) and finally get in. I had a fun time making my own candle with my own preferred smell and colour! We had a good dinner and even a beautiful sunset when we get back! 🧡

Such a fun spot to visit. There’s an amazing variety of food options, so there’s something for everyone to enjoy. The live entertainment adds to the atmosphere and makes it a great night out with family or friends.

The Eat Street Night Market is absolutely worth the entry fee — it’s well-organized, vibrant, and full of life! There’s food, drinks, and fun for everyone, making it a great spot for both adults and kids. The food selection is incredible, featuring cuisines from China, Japan, Hong Kong, the U.S., Greek, Turkey, Mexico, and more — the only challenge is saving enough room in your stomach! A truly impressive and unforgettable place to visit in Brisbane.

It’s great to have a variety of different cuisine from many different cultures, live on stage entertainment during my visit. I suggest, best to make a phone call first and find out what is on and if it’s fee or free entry at the gate to ensure a “no dissatisfaction” experience. Only 4 stars from for the time being since I have only been there twice and was nothing like as per advertised on the specific on those two days in a row. Good ratings of 4 I believe are still reasonable because, the place is quite neat and tidy, toilet facilities are well maintained, accessible for everyone 👍 wheelchair ♿️ food was great and affordable prices, lively atmosphere, great view alongside the Brisbane river, lots of parking 🅿️ on site (fees applies) but not sure if it’s only on specific occasion. Plenty of dining tables to choose from to relax while enjoying a good meal while music is playing. There are many stalls on site and game stations are also there for children and many other activities to keep them occupied. This facility are made and built with sea containers but don’t worry, it’s spacey, you’re only entering on a sea containers surroundings. This place by the way is only open on specific times and days so as I mentioned above,⬆️ call first to ensure a happy experience. 👍 What is nearby is: Blueys world Brisbane, ferry terminal, parks, little beach and many more attractions nearby other than the riverside walkway, there’s also a cafe restaurant right near the ferry terminal, public toilets is also at nearby park.

A joyful place to enjoy a variety of food and beverages with family and friends on a Friday night. On your way back to the city, it's also fun to take a ferry ride along the river from the nearby ferry stop to enjoy the beautiful Brisbane night view.

I'm so in love with this place. The view is outstanding. Its quite busy with alot of people biking and running along the water way. I have been here on multiple occasions to dine, drink or even just catch the city cat across the water. I plan to get an apartment here one day soon.

First time to visit. Accidentally went for Lunch. But it was very nice as I didn’t expect anything. Food was so yummy. Good service. Nice view. Stake was exceptional. I wanna visit again for stake.

Nice spot for an early morning cooked breakfast. Amazing views of the Brisbane River and Story Bridge. Lots of choices of where to eat. Meet up with friends for a memorable day. Enjoy a walk or bicycle ride after, along the esplanade. One of Brisbane's little secrets worth hunting out.

This is the central river hub where all the ferries come and where the riverboats live. It is a great location of restaurants and cafes overlooking the water. I saw the Riverboat office and did the Christmas lunch tour from here..

Great view of the river and story bridge. This is a much better place to see the New Year's Eve fireworks than the crowded southbank park.

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!

A great area for entertainment & travelling over the Brisbane river! My girlfriend and I court the free ferry City hopper to Holeman Pier to go to the Storey Bridge! A very upmarket restaurant!

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.

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.

Amazing view of Brisbane, especially on a clear night when the city lights look incredible. It can get quite busy, but it’s totally worth it for the view. Great spot to just relax and take it all in.

The Mount Coo-tha summit lookout has sweeping views over Brisbane city. There's ample parking. The lookout is wheelchair ♿️ friendly. Next to the lookout is The Summit cafe and restaurant which is quite nice for a coffee ☕️ and sweet treat, breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Beautiful view of the Brisbane City! One of wonderful lookouts in Brisbane. Only downside to this place is that there are not many seats at the foyer to sit and enjoy the view.

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. As we arrived at dawn, the sky transformed into a kaleidoscope of warm hues, casting a magical glow over the landscape. 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!

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.

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.

My husband surprised me with a night away for my birthday. What an amazing beautiful Historical hotel. Absolutely stunning. The staff member who checked us in was lovely and friendly. The room was absolutely stunning. We had breakfast included and it was awesome. We also ordered dessert from room service menu and it was delicious. 100% recommend this hotel.

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.

Beautiful atmosphere and the best place to have a different evening! We were there to visit the free photo festival and it was really peaceful. The contrast with old buildings and graffiti, plus the modern design inside was amazing 😍 Highly recommend!

Had a good experience attending a live event at this place. While the arena isn't huge, it is a good size venue and is well maintained with nice eatery options within around it. Light and Sound system was excellent during the performance and the staff was helpful. It is just a couple of mins walk from New Farm ferry terminal.

An interesting, non-traditional conference venue with stunning river view, well-preserved historic building, catering services, Cafe, bar and plentiful on site paid parking and free parking (at the nearby new farm park).

Comedy festival- Dave Hughes show was very funny and entertaining.. Outside bar was very expensive for drinks and staff not overly happy. Food from delicious from the outside stall. Roof top dinning looks like a fun experience

I had a great time visiting the last day of Night Feast. The installations inside Powerhouse are fascinating, and the view of the city at night is simply stunning.

We have visited Brisbane Powerhouse quite a couple of times and recently came to know the history of it which is fascinating. Last week I visited the World Press Photography Exhibition which left me speechless about the level of nuisance we are in in the name of humankind which is setting back us an intelligent species. The ohotographies were so powerful and spoke a lot of stories about the conditions of the conflicts we are going through in the planet. Thanks team for bringing this up in the exhibition. Also it hosts a number of other exhibitions and music shows etc , it's really a powerhouse of cultural programs.

What a place. Beautiful in Spring. It is a shame. The Mary Mae's is nice but I try a Margarita, unfortunately it is too sweet, they used extra Syrup on it. 😳

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. The park is well-maintained, staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the animals are clearly well cared for. Loved the chance to see a koala up close and feed the kangaroos such a memorable experience for locals and visitors alike!

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.

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

This beach is especially safe for all families because it has a relatively shadow lagoon with neither wave nor shark for the non swimmers to play with water. Perfect spot to view sunset.

5 stars 100% The beach is so beautiful 😍 like Instagram level it's insane But also in the water, it's like very easy and calm to relax in and also it was like not deep at all even If you go far in like at some points you can stand Very safe area wish I could go again!

A little bit disappointed, beautiful length of beach but we had trouble visiting it. The road was blocked.

Beautiful patrolled beach - kids had a ball. Ample parking. Good ice cream and coffee but lacking any more substantial food options currently

Nice beach, great for sunrises over the point. Very flat and wide, perfect for kicking a ball around.

An okay beach — I've seen worse, but definitely seen a lot better

Amazing water, whitsundays level. Perfect spot away from the crowds

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.

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.

We had a Stay and Dine experience which included the wine tour and tasting, dinner, accommodation and breakfast. Every aspect of our stay was wonderful, including staff, food and facilities. A beautiful place to stay for a special occasion or just to get back to nature.

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.

Awesome park, cameras for safety, family and pet friendly, water park for kids, great walking tracks, shopping centre across the road.

I live nearby and often come here — it’s a perfect spot for kids to cool off during the summer. The environment is clean and comfortable, and the facilities are well-maintained and not too old. It’s truly a great place to let the kids play and have fun!

Had PAMA springfest here and good entertainment and space.

I mainly visit here to walk my dog. The gardens are so inviting and it's wonderful to be able to walk along side the stream, and let my dog have a play in the running water (on leash). As part of the gardens, there are picnic and BBQ areas, and a wonderful water play space. There is a great little cafe, which is dog friendly. I also have gone for walks through the University which adjoins the gardens. It is a wonderful place to restore your body and soul in nature.

Nice splash pad and pool /lagoon. Fun public markets in the park once a month.

great outdoor area, but the young teen boys on the electric bikes and electric scooters have been harassing the womans workout program on a wendesday afternoon and the pokemon go players on the weekends and wednesday afternoons since april this year. please do something about them. they also do donuts on the dirt and it picks up dirt and could affect pokemon go players and other visitors with asthma. please do something. it got to the point where they threatened the womans workout coach by saying they would punch her and one of the adults from the pokemon go group had to step in.

If your looking for a playground that has water features for the kids to play and have fun as well as all the latest park equipment for kids then you need to go to ‘Robelle Domain’. It’s a beautiful park which is situated near the Orian Shopping Centre. Make a day of it as there is ample of greenery to have a picnic with beautiful scenery as well as barbecue facilities. Really great place for the kids to have fun, kids to get a little wet if they chose to and just a relaxing place for us parents to watch over the kids.

Expensive but this track trumps any in QLD. The park itself is spacious with a variety of viewing areas with bbqs and amenities close by. 3 tracks, all kept in great condition. Karts were in good condition, too. A kiosk was available with a good selection of food and drinks. We had a great day 😀

It's a bit $ but great couple of hours of fun with the kids. It wasn't busy so got to use the long track instead of the short one. 4 races over two hours was perfect.

Such good fun! Organised really well! We had a right blast! Staff members very chill and friendly. Toilets clean, parking not too far away. Would love to go back!

1100m track (Adult track)✅️ Excellent karts✅️ Kid & Adult friendly✅️ Kids parties/Adult events✅️ Safety first & well maintained PPE✅️ Good friendly staff✅️ Bookings essential✅️ I'm in Ipswich twice a year for a month each time & a visit to Kingston Park Raceway (40min drive) is always one of the regular activities I do. I even ensure I pack my KPR balaclava & gloves these days to avoid purchasing them again. Karting is never cheap but Kingston Park is well worth a visit to bring out your inner Oscar Piastri #81 Highly recommend.

My teenage kids and myself had a fun day out on the Monte Carlo track. Douglas and the on track crew were super friendly and helpful. They made sure everyone was safe and the whole event was smoothly run. The staff in the reception and snack bar were also friendly and efficient. Definitely recommend.

Took my boy here for his 10th birthda, he absolutely loved it!! The staff are super friendly and energetic, they explain everything really well and are more then happy to help... I highly recommend this place for everyone, families, couples or singles, and children. If the kiddies are under 10 then dont stress, they have an iplay there along with plenty of seating around. They also have a Cafe which has some really nice food. Im giving these guys a 5 out of 5!!! Best time ever. Shout out to Jarrod who was looking after everyone the day we went, he was super friendly, done a bday shout out for my boy along with giving him and his brother extra time (from 6 and a half to 10 and a half minutes), thankyou so very much Jarrod......

Friendly and helpful staff. Great place to get into Go Karting. Two massive tracks and separate ones for Adults and Families/kids. Has on-site cafe and ample seating area. Highly recommend them.

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!

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!

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!

Beautiful scenic drive then you arrive and are greeted by friendly staff in a delightful setting. Momo was our guide and she was friendly and full of enthusiasm for her job. She imparted a ton of information in a way that made it interesting. The grounds are well kept and the attached cafe, gift shop and winery are beautifully set up. We purchased some excellent gifts to take away with us. You cannot take photos inside the cave but outside and around the frog breeding areas you can. A great way to spend a few hours.

We visited with my elderly mother to whom wanted to see the butterflies 🦋 to which was not opened as yet and nothing was noted on their website about not been opened. Otherwise the glow-worms was a delightful experience along with the cafe and gardens. Would be nice if you cleaned up the rubbish in the pond and gardens to which the manager walked right past

Great, informative tour as part of ticket and entry. The glow worms were AMAZING. The cave was full of them glowing brightly. There's also Frog Hollow to see too. All set in lush rainforest on a vineyard estate. There's also a lovely cafe/restaurant and wine tastings. Definitely worth a visit.

Educational and informative guided tour, you will learn a lot about glow worms and see them lining up the man-made cave walls. The centre itself situated at a nice bush area and the garden is lovely. Worthwhile to visit.

Had a tour with Beau Eastman. It was his first tour but what a bubbly knowledgeable chap. We found out that he was a film maker and has done work for Sir David Attenborough. We had to dig to get that but it was amazing to hear his adventures after the tour. Made the whole tour just that bit more engaging and magical. The glow worm story is pretty cool. It’s like you end up inside the galaxy in space. And the whole place is actually bright from the glow after your eyes adjust. Worth checking out for sure. The frogs and lizards is a bonus.

Tour guide Austin was very informative and made learning about glow worms interesting and fun. Definitely worth $30 to experience.

Amazing place with man made caves protecting these amazing animals. You can only see them in new zealand and australia so if your somewhere where you can. Do it !! Great service by the team .

I had an amazing time with the kids, watching their faces light up as they saw dolphins perform for the first time. My kids were full of excitement exploring the penguin exhibit and learning about marine life in a fun, hands-on way. The kids were thrilled to interact so closely with the animals. The rides and shows kept everyone engaged, creating a perfect mix of adventure and education. It was a joyful and memorable day, filled with laughter, learning, and shared moments of wonder by the sea.

We had a really good time at Sea World! The park is clean, well maintained, and easy to get around. The seal and dolphin shows were definitely the highlight entertaining, informative, and beautifully done. It was lovely to see how well the animals are cared for. The only downside was the food options there were very limited vegan and vegetarian choices, which made it a bit tricky to find something suitable for lunch. Hopefully, they can expand their plant-based menu in the future. Overall, a great experience for families and anyone who enjoys marine life and fun shows!

Spent the day at SeaWorld recently, and enjoyed it. Liked all the shows, especially the dolphin one! Was grateful that they had a proper sit-down restaurant that served health food. My husband and I both had the bowl each. which was as delicious as it was nutritious 😋 We were disappointed with the water ski show though. Gone were the impressive multi-acrobatic moves. All we saw this time was a show between two rival gangs and some boring stunts. We also did the helicopter ride. The 10 minute deal is the best in my opinion. The pilot was very informative; he doubled up as the tour guide Overall SeaWorld was a great experience 😃

Had the best time at Sea World! Every ride was so much fun and well worth the wait. Loved the dolphin shows they were amazing! The place was clean, well-organized, and perfect for all ages. Truly one of the best theme parks I’ve been to. Highly recommend visiting if you’re on the Gold Coast!

Sea World is truly one of our favourite family destinations on the Gold Coast! We had an unforgettable day filled with fun, learning, and amazing marine life encounters. The dolphin and seal presentations were absolutely incredible, such talented animals and dedicated trainers! The park is beautifully maintained, clean, and easy to get around. There’s a great mix of attractions for both kids and adults — from the exciting rides to the relaxing lagoon areas. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made sure everyone felt welcome and safe. It’s the perfect place to create lasting memories with the family. We can’t wait to come back again soon!

Love it there. So many things to try although some places are not open. Like Atlantis ride and Donatello ride. I have to say, baby Penguins are the cutest around haha. When you get to lunch watch out for Seagulls. Yes!.. theyll snatch your food in a instant There are sharks too, they did a wonderful job in conservation as well. Hate to say it but I got on Bikini bottom rides - Patrick the starfish, School bus because to me that is the safest ride. Have a peak at your theme park pass app they will tell you exactly the time for each performance. It does make you trip there memorable.

Sea World on the Gold Coast is a fantastic destination for families with kids. It’s incredibly family-friendly, and there’s something fun for everyone. The staff are warm and welcoming, and the whole park feels safe and well-managed. The dolphin show and stunt performances were absolutely unforgettable – both entertaining and impressive! Every attraction we tried was fun and engaging, from the animal exhibits to the rides. Overall, it’s a great place to spend the day with your family. Highly recommended!

Definitely a worth it experience. It's basically a walk through experience with different rooms and effects. Very trippy and it was also extremely dark pretty much the whole way through. It could also get very loud at times. Some rooms event felt scary and my friends were screaming heaps through them 😂. Overall I thinks it's worth it. Maybe don't go in with smaller one day tho as they could get scared. It's $30 for adults. Overall o recommend 👍👍

Not Suitable for Young Kids – Misleading, Overpriced, and Poorly Managed Our visit to Infinity Attraction on the Gold Coast was an extremely upsetting experience. Despite fun-looking advertising and a recommended minimum age of 8, this attraction is completely inappropriate for young children. Even for older kids, the first half is dark, disorienting, and frightening — nothing like the bright, fun images promoted. Our young sons were deeply distressed early on, and with no clear way out (the attraction is one-way only), we were stuck. We called the front desk from inside, desperate for help, and were simply told we were “about halfway through” and to “just go quickly.” That’s not support — it’s dismissal. Staff knew we were distressed — they were watching on security footage and even commented that kids had to walk on their own and couldn’t be carried. I put my son down, but picked him up again because he was in a state of panic. No one has the right to tell a parent not to comfort their child during a situation like that. When we finally made it out, we got a token “How was that?” — Why none of the three staff members sitting at the front desk could come in with a torch or guide us out is beyond me. Whatever enjoyable or “fun” elements there may be are far outweighed by the disturbing, high-anxiety parts — especially for children. There is no proper warning about how intense it is, no exit once you’re in, and no real support if things go wrong. This attraction is not family-friendly, not honest in its marketing, and not equipped to safely handle distressed guests. Would not recommend — especially not for families.

It's ok... But certainly not worth $93 for a family of 4. We walked through not fast and was only in there for about 15mins. Like don't get me wrong, it's cool in some parts... But definitely not worth the hype and definitely not worth the price. Got to the end and we all said "is that it?"

A great way to deal with stress, a heartbreak, a midlife crisis, or any tragedy imaginable! It was always a great distraction from the pain I felt that I'd escape by going into their Escape Room, and I can't wait to take my 4 lovely daughters here so they can experience this high tech experience themselves! Emily is a great, smiley staff member there and she is a Kiwi Margot Robbie that's pleasant to all customers! This place is more than worth the admission cost! Margot Robbie would be proud!

My 11 yr old had his bday party here with his friends and he enjoyed

I came a few months ago, and the service was not good. Two staff were on, and when not engaging with customers, were talking about negative things in their personal life and swearing, in front of customers, including children. The staff member helping the customers in queue was quite nice though, but the other staff member was incredibly rude, and mocked me when I almost forgot my bag. The price was also quite a lot for a 15 minute slow walk. I am NOT making this review to get the staff in to trouble, but rather in hopes the workplace and service improves! Other than that, the experience itself was great! My emotions flipped from amazed, to scared, to critical thinking, etc. I’ve been coming here since I was a kid, and although it hasn’t changed much, it still amazes me now! The experience is very interactive and engaging.

Truly an otherworldly experience. Went during the school holidays and is a must visit. 4th dimensional rooms filled with lights, smoke machines, moving walls, and the list goes on. If you need a thrill then look no further then infinity. Definitely a memorable experience and will look forward for another thrill when I come back!

Golden sand, rolling waves, and a skyline that makes every selfie look premium. This is the Gold Coast’s iconic playground — sunrise chills, daytime surf, and nighttime buzz all in one strip. It does get busy (like, festival-crowded on weekends), but that’s part of the energy. Stick between the flags, grab a coffee, and enjoy that perfect mix of beach life + city vibe.

Surfers Paradise Beach continues to live up to its name — a true slice of coastal beauty that still shines, even after the recent tsunami event. We visited just a few weeks ago, curious (and slightly concerned) about how the beach would be, but honestly, it’s holding its charm and energy better than expected. The beach is clean, wide, and absolutely stunning. Golden sands stretch endlessly, and the turquoise-blue waves are as inviting as ever. Lifeguards are stationed frequently along the shore, which gives a good sense of safety for families and tourists alike. Despite the natural event that hit earlier in the year, the beach has bounced back impressively — there’s a sense of resilience and calm that’s comforting to see. The vibe is still alive and well. Surfers are out catching waves, kids are building sandcastles, and couples are strolling along the shore at sunset. That warm, buzzing atmosphere that makes Surfers Paradise so iconic hasn’t faded. Locals and visitors have returned, and it feels like a beautiful community coming back to life. We noticed some parts of the beach that still show signs of the tsunami’s impact — slightly reshaped sand dunes and fewer seating spots in some areas — but honestly, it doesn’t take away from the overall experience. The city has done a great job keeping it maintained and welcoming. What we loved most was the accessibility. You’re steps away from cafes, shops, and restaurants, so it’s easy to grab a drink or bite and head right back to the water. Sunrise and sunset walks are magical here, especially with the skyline rising just behind you. Nature can test even the most iconic places, but Surfers Paradise Beach has held its ground with grace. It’s still one of the most beautiful and enjoyable beaches in Australia — peaceful, vibrant, and deeply refreshing. Whether you’re here to swim, surf, or simply soak up the sun, this beach remains a must-visit. It’s a symbol of strength and beauty that continues to welcome all with open arms.

“Surfers Paradise Beach is absolutely stunning and a must-visit on the Gold Coast. The golden sand stretches for miles, always clean and well maintained, with plenty of space whether you want to swim, walk, or just relax in the sun. The water is crystal clear and perfect for swimming or surfing, with lifeguards on duty and flagged areas for safety. The location is unbeatable – right next to Cavill Ave, so you’re only a short walk to shops, cafes, and restaurants. There are great facilities nearby including showers, toilets, and shaded areas, and it’s beautiful both day and night. Sunrise and sunset here are incredible, and the vibe is always welcoming, whether it’s families, tourists, or locals enjoying the coast. Perfect for a beach day, a morning jog, or just sitting back and taking in the view. Definitely one of the highlights of the Gold Coast.

My favorite spot on the Gold Coast! ☀️ The beach is gorgeous, the vibe is electric, and there’s always something going on. Came for the sand and surf, but ended up spotting a whale just offshore — total magic. 🐋 Will never forget it!

Surfers Paradise is a must-visit destination when you're exploring the Gold Coast, just a short drive from Brisbane. The journey itself is a treat, with coastal roads offering stunning views of the ocean and long stretches of golden sand. Once you arrive, the vibrant atmosphere of Surfers Paradise welcomes you with its mix of beachside charm and urban energy. The area is packed with cafés, restaurants, boutique shops, and hotels, all nestled along the ocean-facing commercial district. The beach itself is iconic—clear blue waters, soft golden sands, and a skyline that blends nature with modern architecture. Whether you're sipping a coffee by the shore, taking a leisurely stroll along the esplanade, or diving into the waves, the experience is both relaxing and invigorating. It’s a place where you can unwind or dive into adventure, depending on your mood. If you're planning a visit, it's best to go early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the heat and crowds. The beach is especially beautiful at sunrise and sunset, offering perfect lighting for photos and a peaceful ambiance. Be sure to bring sunscreen, a hat, and comfortable shoes, especially if you plan to explore beyond the beach. There are plenty of dining options, from casual beachfront cafés to upscale restaurants, many with stunning ocean views. Parking can be a bit challenging, especially during weekends and holidays. There are several paid parking facilities nearby, such as Bruce Bishop Car Park and Cypress Avenue Car Park, which are both centrally located and within walking distance of the beach. Street parking is available but limited, so it’s important to check signage for time restrictions and fees. Using parking apps like EasyPark or PayStay can help you find available spots and manage payments more easily. Surfers Paradise offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and lively culture, making it an ideal spot for beach lovers, families, and anyone looking to enjoy the best of the Gold Coast.

I love traveling, but I think this was the most beautiful sea I’ve seen so far. It was so transparent, clean, and blue—and not too deep, so everyone could enjoy it. I don’t know how to swim, but it was perfect just to dip my feet in. The sand was sooo soft, you wouldn’t even want to wear shoes.

Such a fun beach! Make sure to swim between the flags for safety! Beautiful beach.

Fantastic experience. We did the main museum and the mirror maze. Everyone in our group (from age 3 to mid 50s) had a great time, there was something for everyone. Loved the interactive parts, like making the tallest man stand up and walking through a tunnel that made you dizzy. The mirror maze was the best I've ever seen, we will definitely be back next time we visit the Gold Coast.

Loved how interactive and quirky everything was. We laughed, we gasped, and we took a lot of photos. It’s like stepping into a bizarre museum of fun facts and freaky artifacts. Totally worth it if you’re into the strange and unexpected! 👽🎩🦶

What a fantastic experience! The museum was so interesting with so much to see and take in. The 7D game was terrifyingly fun. Could not have enjoyed the mirror maze more!! Such a great family experience and value for money! Will definitely go again!

My daughter and I visited today! The staff were amazingly helpful and explained the attractions what was included! We did all 3!! Thoroughly enjoyed the museum and had an absolute ball in the mirror maze laughing at my daughter trying to figure out which was the real me 🤣

Pretty cool place when some anazing exhibits. Great staff happy to help when looking for ideas on what to do. Multiple options of package deals. A great place for the whole family

Amazing. Would come here again. Service was quick, easy and reliable. Staff were also friendly and helpful with anything we needed. Photos are amazing, cheap and awesome quality. Me and my family had smiles on our faces the whole time. Would recommend!

Very interesting. Lots of interactive displays. Our grandchildren loved it

Our recent family excursion to Sky Point provided an exceptional experience. The panoramic vistas from the 77th floor were truly awe-inspiring, and we were pleased to discover that the coffee and food prices were surprisingly reasonable. Contrary to our initial expectations, the cost was comparable to that of a standard restaurant, which was a pleasant surprise. The breathtaking scenery, coupled with the rapid elevator service, contributed to a memorable and gratifying experience. We anticipate revisiting Sky Point on our next trip.

SkyPoint was absolutely worth visiting! The 360° views of the coastline, city, and hinterland are stunning — especially around sunset. It’s such a great spot to take photos and really appreciate how beautiful the Gold Coast is. There’s also a nice café and bar at the top, which makes it easy to relax and enjoy the view a bit longer. The staff were friendly, and the elevator ride up was super fast. Highly recommend adding this to your Gold Coast itinerary!

SkyPoint is a must-visit attraction, Especially if you’re chasing those magical sunset views over the Gold Coast. The timing of your visit makes a big difference, as the crowds tend to build up in the late afternoon leading into sunset. When we arrived at around 4:30pm on a weekday, it was already quite busy, with plenty of visitors waiting for the sun to dip below the horizon and capture that perfect photo. 📷 One thing worth noting is that seating can be a bit of a challenge. The seats near the windows are in high demand, as everyone wants the best vantage point for both the views and the experience. It works on a first come, first served basis, so if you want a prime spot, it’s best to arrive earlier than you think you need to. Many people settle in with drinks and snacks and simply enjoy the atmosphere while waiting for the main event — the sunset. 🌇 Despite the crowds, the overall vibe was enjoyable. The bar staff were reliable, friendly, and handled the rush smoothly, which made the experience more relaxed. We also tried the SkyPoint signature cocktail, which is highly recommended if you’re visiting. 🍹 The combination of stunning views, refreshing drinks, and a lively yet comfortable setting made our visit memorable

We visited SkyPoint and went up to the 77th floor — the view of the Gold Coast was absolutely beautiful! It was an interesting and enjoyable experience. There’s also a restaurant and bar where you can have drinks while enjoying the view. Overall, a great experience.

Our experience at the SkyPoint Observation Deck was truly wonderful, even though our visit took an unexpected turn. Just five minutes into our meal, we faced a sudden family emergency that left us distressed and unsure of what to do. Nicole was absolutely incredible. Her calm, caring, and attentive support made all the difference during a very frightening moment. She went above and beyond to help us, ensuring we had everything we needed and offering comfort when we needed it most. Despite the circumstances, we are deeply grateful for the kindness shown to us. The service, the atmosphere, and especially Nicole’s compassion made a difficult situation a little easier to navigate. Thank you so much, Nicole, and thank you SkyPoint for having such wonderful staff. We truly appreciate it. 🙏💛

We were time bound and this is the best way to see the whole coast line. Great way to spend some time and they have a very large cafe with lots of options to sit and enjoy your time. Also parking is free which is a bonus. Loved it 🥂

A must do if you’re visiting the Gold Coast. Beautiful city views. Great place for a drink and bite to eat with a view of all sides of Gold Coast

Wonderful place for a visit or stay. The drive up the mountain over narrow and windy roads is testing but as long as you go steady and look out for traffic coming the other way it is safe enough. Bird life at resort and in rainforests is amazing. Cabins are neat and tidy. No TV or cooking facilities in the room we had but we didnt mind. Many walks available from short to long. Much cooler on the mountain so remember to bring warm clothes. Staff very polite and made us feel very welcome. Managers welcome and afternoon tea each afternoon is a great bonus. Very happy with our visit.

Mixed feelings about this place. A great location and bird feeding was a highlight but customer service could be improved. I had $200 worth of clothing taken from the poolside that was left unattended for less than an hour, the staff didn’t help me any further than looking in lost property, when it was obvious that my clothing was stolen, they didn’t offer to check cameras or assist any further than keeping an eye on lost property. Also when asking the activities guide questions about the animal encounters his response was blunt and rude, I have worked in hospitality resorts for years and never customer service this bad in a resort. The place has a lot of potential if they put their customers first.

A seriously spectacular place! I would highly recommend this as a place to visit in QLD. The road in and out is 40 minutes of stress, so I would recommend staying overnight, at least. I had a stunning room with a balcony with a breathtaking view over the valley and the sunset. The walks are really lovely, and I can recommend Morans Falls (better than the pictures suggest) and Elabana Falls, which everyone was raving about. Unfortunately I was only there for a day and it’s a 4-5 hour circuit, which I ran out of time to do. A big storm rolled in through the afternoon and evening and that was also a fantastic experience. I did the free early morning bird walk with the guide and enjoyed it so much. I learned so much about the birds of the rainforest, from the floor to the canopy. I even got to hand feed some. I think I saw over 30 different birds on that guided walk. It was so special. There were lots of twitches in the area, plus some special photographers there capturing the wonder. They were very generous with their knowledge too. The canopy walk is amazing but, unfortunately I was not brave enough to climb the stairs up the tree to the highest level. The food and service in the cafe, restaurant and bar were fantastic as well. I would avoid room service food, except maybe pizza, as it was not well presented. Delicious but a bit cold and in a takeaway container, not served on a plate. I would certainly go back here and wish I’d booked for a bit longer to get more walks and experiences in. Highly recommended and I hope to get back here someday.

We booked the clamping tents. . Lovely drive up to Lamington. Besides a O'Reillys branded car was sitting up our cars bumpa, as soon as there was a pull off we did, yet no need for the aggressive driver prior. . Check into the clamping tents was easy. . Camp kitchen Lovely large area, well stocked with cooking equipment and washing up spong detergent etc. The tablesvand chairs need a goodvscrub, lots of grim build up. The shade cloth near ceiling was filthy, also needs a good clean (nothing a good High Pressure hose could not fix) Great out door bench seats to watch sunset. Noise travels so it was hard yo get to sleep whilst people enjoying themselves after 10pm. Toilets/ Showers. Shower heads great water pressure. Great hot water Flushing toilets. Good size. The room need a good clean over the three days we watched them being cleaned i kid you not the cleaners spent less than 3 minutes in each cubicle. The mould and grim build up is not hygienic. Glad I bought rubber shoes to shower with. The doors slam shut so every time during the night they are used all campers hear them open and close. . Tents Nice size. Great location tent 2 in corner looking into rainforest. Our tent was very dirty, needed a good sweep under the bed and floors had a fine layer of rocks, most likely from the path. The doubled bed in the bunks mattress had a sticky substance on it. The tents are great however if you are a light sleeper maybe not for you, you can hear people talking three and four tent away at night.. Lamington NP Super 100% fantastic. We are birders so managed to tick a few birds of my lists. . All in all I would be back yet ill stay in the hotel or villas. .

Drive up is long and very narrow. Give away signs were you can’t actually see what’s coming. Are nice and clean. Must be fit and healthy to do bush walks. Food is expensive and night time only have 2 options. Bar and $70 buffet. If you have children could be hard to feed them. Rooms only have a kettle so no option to have toast for dinner. It is a beautiful location and birds everywhere. Definitely glad we visited but won’t be going back.

If u are interested in doing a relaxing birding trip, this is the place ! There’s an early morning free bird walk everyday. I also joined another bird walk by excellent bird guide, Kyle. Kyle had excellent birding knowledge, friendly and ensure we have at least some bird photos ! He is the best birding guide in this retreat ! For food wise, not many choices and not cheap! Best to stock up with groceries before you head here ! Overall enjoyed my stay !

Came out with some friends for morning tea, I didn't eat anything so can't comment on the food now, but Coffee was good, view was truly amazing, and the cheeky little Crimson Rosellas wanting a bite of anyones food was abit cute. My issue was for people with mobility issues. There was plenty of free parking, but for the Seniors and people who struggle with mobility there were no clear signs to and area where we could drop off or pick up, before going back down to the car park, as its abit of a hill to walk up to the Cafe and not clearly signed either, so we had people going everywhere and then they couldn't find their way to the Cafe, it was like rounding up cats. O'Reilly's is such a beautiful place, but put your thinking caps on for the seniors and people who struggle with mobility and some clear signage

I’ve lived on Springbrook Mountain for over four years, and I can honestly say there’s nowhere else like it. Every day feels like a postcard — misty mornings, fresh air, waterfalls, ancient trees, and views that stretch all the way to the coast. It’s peaceful, quiet, and deeply connected to nature. You don’t just visit Springbrook — it slows you down, grounds you, and makes you appreciate the small things. Whether it’s the roar of Purling Brook Falls after rain, the stillness of the forest trails, or the golden light at Best of All Lookout, it’s pure magic. As a local, I still find new pockets of beauty all the time. If you’re visiting, take your time. Respect the land, the wildlife, and the locals who help preserve it. This mountain is a treasure.

Springbrook National Park is absolutely breathtaking — one of the most beautiful rainforest areas I’ve visited in Queensland. The views from the lookouts are incredible, especially on a clear day when you can see all the way to the coast. The Natural Bridge is a must-see, and the walks around Twin Falls and Purling Brook Falls are stunning, with waterfalls, ferns, and ancient trees everywhere. The cool mountain air and peaceful atmosphere make it the perfect escape from the city. Highly recommend taking your time here — every track is worth exploring.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience and a truly wonderful time. The drive to this place is a bit adventurous, but it's well worth the effort. There are numerous scenic lookout points along the way, each offering breathtaking views. The trek to Twin Falls is an absolute must—an unforgettable highlight of the trip!

Really cool spot to get out in nature and do some hiking. Recommend if you’re looking to get some beautiful scenery, be immersed in nature & see some Aussie wildlife!

Springbrook National Park packs an astonishing mix of rainforest, waterfalls, and ancient geology into a compact stretch of the Gondwana highlands. The drive up is an experience in itself, climbing narrow switchbacks that swap coastal suburbs for clouds of mist and towering Antarctic beech trees. Stop at the first lookout and the Gold Coast skyline sits like a glittering bookmark far below, framed by rolling green hills. Walking tracks branch out in every direction, each with its own reward. Twin Falls Circuit threads behind two curtains of water, giving you that cinematic moment when sunlight slants through the spray. The Best of All Lookout lives up to its name with a sweeping vista all the way to Byron Bay on a clear day, and interpretive signs point out volcanic craters now softened by forest. For something shorter, the trail to the Natural Bridge leads into a cool cave where glow-worms light the ceiling after dusk and a creek dives through a neat hole in the rock. Facilities are simple but sufficient. Car parks at major trailheads have clean toilets, picnic tables, and clear maps that outline distances and difficulty grades. Mobile reception fades quickly off the ridge so downloading an offline map helps, and the plateau’s weather changes without warning, making a rain jacket smart even in midsummer. Food options are limited once you leave the highway; packing lunch lets you linger wherever you find the best bird calls. Whether you are after a family-friendly boardwalk, a half-day waterfall circuit, or just a chance to stand above the clouds for a moment, Springbrook delivers scenery that feels both primeval and unexpectedly close to the coast.

Great 2 hours trecking inside the National Park and two hours back to start point car park. There is a small look out track which you can finish in an hour if you want to finish quick.

Beautiful views. Very nice loop trail of 25km (4hrs) but whatch out for leeches
