Friendliest birds we've ever seen - Amazing experience - we were blown away by how friendly the birds were. They came and sat on us and others and were really charming. An unforgettable experience. The miniature farm animals were really cute and friendly too. And the gardens has stunning views of the Glasshouse mountains. A day well spent!

Excellent day trip - Everyone who worked here was lovely! The bird tour was great and the views are amazing. I’d definitely recommend hiring a golf cart to get around if you want to see all of the gardens.

Must do list - I went to this place 10yrs ago. The gardens were small. Today the gardens are fantastic. Views are superb. Set up for anyone. Golf carts available for the ones who find walking a challenge. Bird aviaries well set out and the birds are outstanding. Recommend this on anybody's must do list.

a beautiful gem of the Sunshine Coast - This place is simply amazing!!! I travel to this park all the way from the Gold Coast because I like it so much!!!!
You can immediately see how much resources, time, and care have been invested into this park! The views and beauty of this place are breathtaking; you can see the Glass House Mountains from any point in the park. So many flowers, shrubs, native wildlife - I'm just thrilled!
I've been going to this park for 2 years now, and every time I leave for home - with a bunch of lasting impressions and great photos!
I highly recommend this park - a beautiful gem of the Sunshine Coast.

Family day - It was a beautiful day and our family had a great time. We really enjoyed the birds such vibrant colours and more importantly the birds are well looked after as are all the animals. We hire golf buggies which I would recommend. The food was delicious. We met the owner Frank and his dog Shadow. Lovely man and dog.
All in all a great day.

Maleny's hidden gem...worth the find. - Sadly, council does not provide easy to find, sign posts to this iconic place. It is certainly worth the visit. Buggies are available for the aged or impaired who are unable to manage the walk back up the hill, it is rather steep. Spectacular views all round. Also, unfortunately, it costs to get in. But it's worth it. Lush sub tropical vegetation along with wild life. The bird sanctuary is part of the experience...an extra cost. A well stocked cafe/shop is a welcome come-back-to, when the walk is over.

This is NOT a Botanical Garden - We were excited to tour the Botanical Gardens. $22.00 per person plus $45.00 for 1 hour buggy hire (we were told it was hilly).
There are no gardens, we were shocked, it looks like they might have begun to develop gardens but stopped and it is now overgrown, covered in weeds with a few dirty ponds with water lillies. When we returned to reception I asked where the gardens were in case we had missed a turn, I said I expected to see garden beds with labelled plants and trees for our education but was told "anything can be called a botanical garden". This is not a Botanical Garden and they should be ashamed to be taking people's money.
We did not tour the bird aviary.
