You don't need any prior experience, each session lasts 2 hours, including a 30-minute induction of equipment fitting and training, and then your child can then progress through the courses as they would like! Whilst they do require an adult to be present, the fully trained supervisors will start your child on each course, supervise their safety, and ensure your child has an amazing time. There are lots of pathways beneath the courses you are able to observe your child on course throughout the entire session!

The Big Pineapple

The return of the icon. The Big Pineapple is a national tourism and food icon based on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. Featuring a 16-metre fibreglass pineapple structure, historically the Big Pineapple drew over a million visits a year, being the most popular tourist attraction in Australia. The Big Pineapple site is currently undergoing renewal and transformation, guided by a whole site master plan across the 170ha landholding. The large scale of the property provides great potential to host new attractions and again become a highly popular destination. In addition to the iconic Big Pineapple structure, visitor centre and train, today the site is home to a popular zoo, the TreeTop Challenge high ropes and zipline course, in addition to a sell-out events program. With an expanding array of animals at Wildlife HQ and events such as our craft beer and cider expo, there are many reasons to re-discover the new Big Pineapple experience.

With its towering trees, meandering tracks and stunning waterfall, this sub-tropical oasis is a paradise for nature lovers and photographers alike. Buderim Falls, also known as Serenity Falls, it’s a wonderful place to visit at any time of year, and looks particularly spectacular after rainfall when the waters cascade down the rock face into the waterhole below. The 600 metre walkway from Lindsay Road will take you on a picturesque forest ramble along the banks of Martins Creek’s cascading waters. This is the easiest part of the walk and is wheelchair friendly. From the end of the boardwalk you can continue upwards through the bush via a rugged trail to the waterfall. For direct access to the waterfall and the high arch bridge spanning the creek, start at Quorn Close – it’s an easy to moderate hike to the falls via a bush track.
