SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast Aquarium

Great place to visit. It is bigger and has more sea animals than I expected. Very friendly, knowledgeable staff and a high standard in animal care. Takes about 3 hours to view and with the shows it’s awesome. Great gift shop and all ages will like it 👍

Sunshine Coast

The Sunshine Coast of Queensland, Australia, is in the middle of Australia's east coast, and Maroochydore is the main business district on the Sunshine Coast. Maroochydore Beach is the venue for surfing carnivals and a popular holiday destination for travel to other parts of Queensland.

Nice place to visit if you are with kids . Cute animals and you are able to feed them . The zoo can be easily access through public transportation and plenty of place for car park

Point Cartwright Lighthouse

[View] Point Cartwright It's a great attraction, the scenery is great, and you can see the seagulls, it's really refreshing! [Fun] You can do a boat to play in the sea, and you can also fish ~ recommended

The Big Pineapple

[Scenery] The Big Pineapple Plantation includes a 16-meter-high pineapple-shaped building and a surrounding theme park. In fact, the so-called theme park has gradually been abandoned, which is a pity for the green lawn, free-range peacocks, alpacas, and some growing pineapples. [Fun] The scenic area is now equivalent to an ordinary park, but it can still be visited and you can take a sightseeing train to get there. [Value for money] Although there are many disappointments, there are still tourists who come to take photos with the 16-meter-high Big Pineapple, a former landmark.

We walked from the top of the falls to the bottom and back again a few hours later, plenty of time to take pictures and enjoy the beautiful scenery. It helps to have good footing or stability as it can be a bit messy. Take insect repellent.
