Amazing

5.00Absolutely amazing. We had buggy hire and pleased we did to navigate the steep hills. Gardens were lovely and the perfume wafting from the rose garden was delightful. The farm animals section was cute and a great attraction for the children as is the Fairy House. The highlight for us was the Guided Aviary tour. What a delight to have black cockatoos and macaws landing on your shoulders and/or head. The stunning colours of the macaws is gorgeous. We finished off our visit with a picnic box each which was also included in our package and the French Baguette was delicious, as was the fresh fruit salad, citrine tart and chocolate brownie. Would love to visit again.
Fabulous experience, beautiful gardens and views!

5.00Had the best time at Maleny Botanic Gardens!! My friend and I had Lydia during our Avery tour and could not recommend more- Lydia was so informative and very engaging, and the birds were so beautiful and fun to interact with! So much to see and do, including the farm animal experience, and enjoying the beautiful views and gardens. 10/10!!
Disappointing experience

2.00I am disappointed with the botanical gardens as it is not lush and beautiful as other botanical gardens. There is a lot of new vegetation and not very well established considering it has been operating for 12years. Great idea with the buggies to get around . The bird world was disappointing, it was barren in the enclosures and not a pleasant experience( we couldn’t wait to get out) The group was large and we were just standing around in the enclosure trying to hear the speakers- the mega phone is not suitable for large groups - need to invest in better audio equipment. The price for the botanical and bird world was $47 for an adult plus hire for the golf cart. Very expensive day out for a family. They need to invest in the bird enclosure, provide a nicer environment for the birds rather than dead branches and dead leaves about. The birds were constantly biting the branches. Having attended the bird world in Cairns ( Kuranda) they could adopt some of these improvements at Maleny.
Best Botanic Garden By Far!

5.00Firstly, I just want to say oh my goodness was it amazing. I loved seeing all the breathtaking views, the gardens and most of all, the birds, I was greeted by the red-tailed black cockatoo ‘Gracie’ and a bunch of other birds! Would recommend for bird lovers!
Excellent day out for all ages! Stunning botanic gardens, beautiful views, gorgeous birds! A must do on the Sunny Coast

5.00We visited today…an absolutely brilliant experience! Staff are wonderful and passionate…a big thank you shoutout to Verena, Dani and their team! The birds are so precious, especially Coco the opera singing parrot! We were given a buggy to tour the grounds in..stunning terraces and everything is immaculate..the gardens and views over the Glasshouse Mountains are beautiful. The rock formations, lakes, fish pond, waterfalls and the adorable fairy mushroom, the sweet donkeys and small animals, the Avery! We loved every second. If you are on the Sunshine Coast, put this on your list of must do’s…it’s a gorgeous day out. Cafe and gift shop great too…delicious scones!
Good little half day out

5.00Nice gardens to walk thru, although of course some things are not in season. The ladies at the entrance were super helpful. The aviary is the star as the young lady giving the tour was excellent and the birds a blast. Birds land on you and you can have birds placed on you. What a treat
Highly recommend
