Gorgeous gardens. - I bought a pass and went twice so far, the advantage of pass is I don't need ro pay for aviary anymore and can go as many times as I want. The gardens are gorgeous, I love hanging around for hours, reading, having coffee or something. I think I still havent managed to explore every corner of the place as it is huge. Though be aware the caffee is a bit expensive. Also if you DON'T DRIVE, you can catch a bus to Maleny from Landsborough and then it's half an hour walk uphill. Very doable. Overall even if you don't want the birds to destroy your clothes the gardens are still worth of a day stay!

Great experience, great guide - We had an amazing time at the bird experience, the birds were very interactive and well handled by our awesome guide. He had lots of knowledge to share, controlled the group really well, including small children and the birds seemed to love him. I would definitely go back.

Perfect - Don’t change - A weekend away and decided to finally come and visit, and it was everything and more. I had hand raised a concure, and to participate in the aviary/bird show tour, and have such friendly birds of all varieties, free interact with us, was superb. The knowledgeable tour guide was a delight to have us guide us thru the different habitats and know all the birds by name was amazing. All I can say is please don’t change, and become like Australia zoo, commercialised and hand out for every little thing. This place you have developed is perfect and wouldn’t change it for the world. Thankyou to all the absolutely fantastic staff.

Beautiful Botanic Gardens in Maleny along with Great Aviary Experience - Really fun experience located in gorgeous Maleny with picturesque views and beautiful botanic gardens. We really enjoyed walking through the aviary, and seeing lots of different birds, that all appeared healthy and happy. The food was okay, but wasn't the attraction in the first place.

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. Stephen.

Not worth the $$$$$$$ - We found the whole experience overly rated and overly expensive when coming with little children. Firstly we arrived and went to the petting farm, on arrival we were told the little ones could not interact with the rabbit ,Guinea pigs etc as it was Monday and not enough staff. Then we went to goats and donkeys where you can touch but being very careful with donkeys and not to mention goats who actually started chewing and ruined my dress, staff member didn’t seem to care. We then went to birds which is not really toddler friendly, and except for gardens that’s about it for kids. The whole experience which was initiated as a kids experience cost $187.00 and the biggest waste of $$$$$ I have spent as a kids day.would not go again and would not recommend to anyone with toddlers as an experience

Disappointing - The gardens is an absolute rip off. Devonshire tea in a takeaway box & disposable cups. Brought a voucher & then once arrived asked to pay extra for the bird sanctuary. The cost was 68 dollars for 2 people. A total disappointment
