Maleny Botanic Gardens & Bird World, Maleny

Absolutely an amazing and must do experience whilst on the sunshine coast. We went twice as the first day we went it was raining heavily and did not get to see most of the gardens and the birds were mostly sheltering from the rain. On our return trip it was amazing. The gardens and views were incredible and the birds definitely the highlight and best part. The keepers are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and take great care of all the birds. Was an awesome experience and I cannot wait to return!

This was a great day out with the family. The highlight was definitely the aviary. This was a wonderful interactive, educational experience for pretty much all ages. The gardens are lovely too, with the highlight being the views through to the glasshouse mountains. The only downer were the infrastructure upgrades which meant some sections of the park were off limits. It seemed the gardens had suffered from recent torrential rain and was in recovery mode. Regardless, this was a great affordable day out. I’d highly recommend this to anyone.
