A must Visit - This was our second visit and it was as memorable as the first. Our Avery guide Lydia was fantastic, her love for the birds and passion for her job really shines through, she was such a joy. Being able to get up and close with Black Cockatoos is so amazing, they are such magnificent birds. Beautiful property and Gardens to stroll around. Amazing little gem on the Hinterland of the Sunshine Coast.

100/10 - 10/10 experience even on rainy day. Best to come in the morning if you want to spend some time there or come morning and do the bird house later afternoon as there might be less people in later hours even though it wasn’t too crowded in the morning. You can easily spend there all day if you like nature and animals and have time. The gardens are not too large to walk with family and it all lies above the rainforest where they have a bit of trail aswell. Plus you have great views of the mountains. Friendly and happy animals, lovely staff and the whole place are amazing. All it’s maybe missing is some mini cow 🙂 Can’t reccomend them enough and I’d love to come again anytime

Fabulous Afternoon Out - We spent a wonderful afternoon at the Botanic Gardens and Bird World. The tour guide for Bird World was great, he made everyone feel comfortable, you weren't rushed going through the aviary's, however you do not have unlimited time before you are taken through to the next aviary, as it is on a time limit. The birds come to you if they want to, nothing is forced, and when you get to the last aviary with the Macaws and Parrots you all get a photo opportunity when the guide (If you want to) puts one on your head!. This was a fabulous tour, and we had a particular huge black bird keep landing on us, we both had to take our glasses off as the bird wanted to grab them, and he also ate my husbands button on his t-shirt, but you are warned off this before you go through, if you love birds then do this experience, and have a camera ready. The botanical gardens are lovely, and we hired a buggy for an hour to go round so we could see everything, and then walked back to the areas we wanted to spend time in afterwards. The only negative is the café shuts really early, and there was hardly anything to have to eat, so I would advise having something before you go here. All in all a lovely afternoon out whilst staying in the area.

The birds are worth a visit - The visit with the birds was a wonderful experience. Our guide, Kyle, was knowledgeable and engaging and helped make the experience as good as it was. I love that the bird’s interaction with people is their choice, they can fly off if they want to. The gardens were lovely, such a beautiful place to wander around.

Not what we expected, not a botanic garden - Nothing much to see this is not what I would call a botanic garden there was no real Gardens a lot of weeds no specific names for any plant that we saw, the bird Avery was good but the man who was doing the tour was hard to understand I would not spend any more than $8 per person to visit this site and once you've done that once you would never do it again. Recommend a visit. Butbitbis to expensive for what you get. I would of expected it to be free like most other gardens.
