Maleny Botanic Gardens & Bird World, Maleny

Visit to the Maleny Botanical Garden. It was a very interesting and great experience. We spent 5 hours including Picnic Lunch and a buggy ride through the absolutely magic kept gardens and forest - topped by a visit to a giant aviary and interaction with the birds. Everything what has to be known about them - was explained by Savannah - a charming young lady - she made sure everybody had the opportunity to have a Parrot 🦜 on a shoulder. Safety was priority one. The views are spectacular - a photographers dream! They also have a gift shop to buy some souvenirs- handy for visitors from overseas - especially the toy birds. One thing to mention is - some of the paths are very steep - and maybe hard for some visitors - so the buggy is definitely a "must" and is also fun. Don't worry about the expense - it's worth it! Congratulations to the Managment for an absolutely perfect run Tourist venue. Thank you to all the staff, that helped with the booking and the explaining of how the buggy is operating - again safety explained. Highly recommended for an outing with children to learn about all the magnificent Parrots. Thank you - we will be back with Overseas Visitors.

Wow, definitely a must visit when in Maleny/sunshine coast! My husband and I bought the package which included the general admission, bird sanctuary tour, 2 picnic boxes, and 1 hour buggy hire. The food was actually really good, and the bird tour was so fun and interactive, as we had plenty of birds land on our heads and arms! There were lots of beautiful picnic spots and garden areas around the whole place which you can view on foot or with the buggy (we did both), and there is a section with cute farm animals you can feed, pat and hold. Absolutely beautiful place, would definitely come back next time I'm in the area! 😃🦜🦚

Beautiful gardens with breathtaking scenery. The bird sanctuary is good fun for the family if you like birds too. Very steep hills, if you have trouble climbing you can rent a buggy, but it costs a fair bit. Nice place for a family picnic too, or you can buy some food from their kitchen as well. They are planning to have farm animals at 2022 year end, we would definitely visit again.

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!

Went to the botanic gardens as well as Bird World, it was a great experience! Although it was the wrong time of the year for a lot of the plants and flowers in the gardens they were still beautiful to wander around and the views across the glasshouse mountains are stunning. Bird World was fantastic, a good amount of time spent in each section of the enclusure and very interactive. Our guide was great too. Definitely recommend!
