Take a few hours to enjoy this place and all it has to offer. An absolute must for the avian enthusiast! The aviary at time of writing houses about 400 birds, many of them very tame and full of character. The gardens are inspirational. I look to forward to visiting this majestic hillside again!

Got a discount/promotional ticket so decided to give the gardens a go. We had no idea there was also an Aviary onsite until we got there so as part-time birdos we paid the extra $10 to get a guided tour of the birds.Walked around the gardens for about 90 minutes and they were nice but I wouldn't have wanted to pay full price sorry. We then went into the animal section and waited for the 2:30pm Aviary tour. The other animals were OK but it all felt a bit 'tired' however these were gardens afterall, not an animal attraction so no problem there.Looking at the Aviary from the outside it looked a bit rough around the edges so we were concerned about the quality of life of the birds within however once the tour started and our lovely guide took us inside our doubts were cleared instantly. All the birds seemed very happy and healthy and it was as though they were being encouraged to get to know us because after only 5 minutes each of us had a bird on our shoulder or head, even the kids! The biggest thrill was having one of the beautiful blue Macaws perch on our shoulder, such amazing birds but so were the teeny-tiny little Finches, Quails, Pheasants (inc. Gold) and even Budgies let alone all the other Parrots flying around and being cheeky and Pigeons & Doves keeping to themselves.The Gardens were very good but that Aviary was worth every cent and in fact I'd recommend a visit purely to see the birds alone! Great job guys and they're only relatively new at it (a year or two apparently) so I look forward to seeing them improve & expand on their animal & bird areas in coming years. Fantastic!

Went to the Maleny botanic gardens and interactive bird park and enjoyed every minute of it. The birds are amazing, the gardens spectacular and the staff were friendly. The view while having Devonshire tea was an amazing view of the glass house mountains. The kids that I watched around me were having as much fun as the adults. Great day for family and friends.

The gardens are absolutely breathtaking but the highlight of the day were the fantastic birds!It's a great place to spend a day just wandering around the beautiful gardens and then spending time in the aviary with the birds.The staff are all so friendly and its a lovely day out for all the family.

Hidden being the operative word, as there were no signs to help guide you there, if we hadn't stopped at info centre in maleny we would have missed out on a fantastic morning! It is easy to see the love and dedication that has gone into making this a wonderful experience. The gardens are a delight with various themes and the location, with the backdrop of the glasshouse mountains is fantastic. Strolling through the gardens with the various water features is very calming with lots of little hidden away nooks.The interactive bird tour is a must, the guides are very knowledgable and friendly. The only thing I would say, is anyone with mobility issues may find some of the steepish paths challenging. Had the Devonshire tea sat in the gazebo which was good value for money.

Loved the bird experience. How wonderful. 30 mins not really long enough for me. I didn't get up to the too part of the Avery .delicious devonshire tea afterwards. Then a stroll thru the gardens and rainforest. What a delight

As a local, I had been wanting to visit this place for a while, but the price was a turnoff. The kids free, is a great idea (I only had one) Therefore I was glad to take advantage of the GroupOn deal that included a devonshire tea, I had pre-purchased coupons to cover 3 adults, I paid extra for an additional student and purchased 2 extra devonshire teas. I was told there was 2 scones but when served, it turned out the GroupOn deal only provided 1 scone each. A bit of a fail in communication there. We had expected a larger range of food - not a restaurant - but there was only scones or chocolate bars on sale and were hoping to purchase something for lunch. We noticed other visitors had bought picnics along, which is a good idea. I think management has an opportunity to expand on food and perhaps local produce there.I noticed another visiting couple referring to a map, so I consulted them regarding this and directions of which way they recommended us to head (there are no signs!) So we wentback and asked for a map too. Again a bit of fail in customer service. Even though we were the only family being served on check-in, the whole GroupOn voucher/plus paying for the extras may have distracted the attendant.LIke all the other raving reviews - great place if you are a garden and bird enthusiast - just not on my top 10 things to do on the Sunshine Coast - but that's just my opinion!

What a hidden treasure! Something for all ages and the birds were very friendly! From a cheery greeting to a warm farewell.... A worthwhile visit!

Loved the Bird World Trainer very informative about the birds and had lots of photos with different birds landing on my shoulders. The Gardens was a pleasant stroll through with lots of different plants ,ponds and the spectacular Glasshouse Mountains backdrop, also. the Scones and fresh cream were to die for Devonshire Tea.
