Must do
chrisdR7580BT, October 2026
Fantastic. Anyone who doesn't enjoy this truely has personality issues. Hired a buggy and checked out the gardens. Spectacular, work under progress. The petting zoo was okay but the sheep seemed sad. All round good experience
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Fabulous family day out.
nicolleh296, October 2026
Terrific day out & staff very friendly & accomodating ensuring we all got photos with the birds. Visited with 7 year old granddaughter who was not scared, but advise young kids not familiar with large birds may find it a bit much. We booked with RACQ & got a small discount - all savings count nowadays. Great day out.
Response from the operator · Maleny Botanic Gardens and Bird World
Hi Nicolle Seven years old and already making friends with the birds - we love it! You're right, our larger feathered residents can be a little overwhelming for younger visitors. For those who are a little unsure, our Feathered Friends area near reception is a great place to start before venturing into Bird World! Thanks for sharing your experience and the handy RACQ discount tip - every little saving helps! Cheers MBG Team

A Disappointing Experience with Our Tour Guide, Jess
Curiosity61156357499, October 2026
I would have said we had a wonderful day if it weren’t for our tour guide, Jess. From the moment we arrived, she seemed irritated and was quite rude throughout the day. She didn’t have a microphone and spoke very loudly, which seemed to stress the birds and caused them to fly around and call whenever she started speaking. My mother doesn’t speak English, so she misunderstood an instruction and accidentally went a little further than she should have. Jess spoke to us quite harshly. I explained that my mother doesn’t speak English, but Jess simply said she couldn’t know that. I explained that this is a tourist attraction and that not everyone speaks English, so some patience and understanding should be expected. Unfortunately, she became even more annoyed. At the end of the tour, a black cockatoo landed on me, which was one of the main reasons I visited., but Jess allowed the bird to remain on everyone else, yet immediately removed it when it landed on me. After I asked her to remain calm earlier, it felt as though she was deliberately preventing me from taking a photo, almost as if it were revenge. She did not give me even a moment to enjoy the experience or take a photo. The other guide was calm, friendly and welcoming, which made the contrast very noticeable. I understand that rules need to be followed, but visitors can make mistakes when they do not fully understand an instruction. As this is a tourist attraction, the guides should assume that not every visitor speaks English fluently and should communicate with patience, clarity and understanding. Jess should learn to communicate with people more politely and patiently. I hope management takes this feedback seriously.
Response from the operator · Maleny Botanic Gardens and Bird World
Hi sevgi We’re sorry that an interaction with one of our guides had such an impact on what should have been an enjoyable day with us. Our aviary guides have an important responsibility to manage interactions between guests and more than 600 birds so instructions do sometimes need to be repeated or acted on quickly. However, we absolutely agree that communication should remain patient, respectful and considerate, particularly as we welcome visitors from many different countries and backgrounds. We’re disappointed to hear that you and your mother felt you weren’t treated that way. We’re also sorry that the moment with the black cockatoo left you feeling singled out rather than giving you the special memory you’d hoped for. Your feedback regarding Jess and the overall interaction will be addressed with our team. Thank you for raising it with us, we’re sorry it overshadowed the parts of your visit you otherwise enjoyed. Kind regards MBG Team

Simply wonderful
ellens754, October 2026
Wow! We were a party of 6, 2 kids and 1 adult in wheelchair, staff couldn't have been more accommodating and caring! Just LOVED the birds, such a wonderful experience! Gardens are stunning, and the fairy cottage beautiful, even to the 2 little boys. Cafe was really good and the scones were the biggest in the world! All in all a wonderful experience and we will be back!
Response from the operator · Maleny Botanic Gardens and Bird World
Hi Ellen Birds, Fairyland, beautiful gardens and apparently record-breaking scones - what a combination! We’re so pleased your group had such a wonderful day and most importantly, felt well cared for and accommodated by our team. Hearing that you’ll be back is the perfect ending to this review, we’ll see you next time! Cheers MBG Team
