Maleny Botanic Gardens & Bird World, Maleny

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.

This was a fantastic way to spend an afternoon, the food and coffee was great, the grounds looked loved even after the wild weather the last 6 months have dished out, and the birds.... We are bird nerds, with a flock of our own, so we know what to expect, but even then we were blown away! Our guide was very knowledgeable, and read the birds body language to perfection, ensuring everyone got up close to the birds with safety in mind. In short, a sensational afternoon, it's worth the drive and admission price without doubt. We will be back!
