Fabulous Afternoon Out
MinnieM1928,,Jan 24, 2026

5.00We spent a wonderful afternoon at the Botanic Gardens and Bird World. The tour guide for Bird World was great, he made everyone feel comfortable, you weren't rushed going through the aviary's, however you do not have unlimited time before you are taken through to the next aviary, as it is on a time limit. The birds come to you if they want to, nothing is forced, and when you get to the last aviary with the Macaws and Parrots you all get a photo opportunity when the guide (If you want to) puts one on your head!. This was a fabulous tour, and we had a particular huge black bird keep landing on us, we both had to take our glasses off as the bird wanted to grab them, and he also ate my husbands button on his t-shirt, but you are warned off this before you go through, if you love birds then do this experience, and have a camera ready. The botanical gardens are lovely, and we hired a buggy for an hour to go round so we could see everything, and then walked back to the areas we wanted to spend time in afterwards. The only negative is the café shuts really early, and there was hardly anything to have to eat, so I would advise having something before you go here. All in all a lovely afternoon out whilst staying in the area.
The birds are worth a visit

5.00The visit with the birds was a wonderful experience. Our guide, Kyle, was knowledgeable and engaging and helped make the experience as good as it was. I love that the bird’s interaction with people is their choice, they can fly off if they want to. The gardens were lovely, such a beautiful place to wander around.

Not what we expected, not a botanic garden

2.00Nothing much to see this is not what I would call a botanic garden there was no real Gardens a lot of weeds no specific names for any plant that we saw, the bird Avery was good but the man who was doing the tour was hard to understand I would not spend any more than $8 per person to visit this site and once you've done that once you would never do it again. Recommend a visit. Butbitbis to expensive for what you get. I would of expected it to be free like most other gardens.
