    A wonderful destination for people of all ages. There are several eateries in the area, and you may relax in the park and observe the passing scenery.

    A great way to go around the city and so cheap at 50c a ride! We were assisted by Jason at Riverside wharf and he was a superstar. He gave us tips of where to go in Brisbane and how to get there in such a friendly way. A really nice guy and is an absolute credit to the company - staff like Jason really make companies stand out from the rest. Thank you so much City Cat and Jason for making our trip to Brisbane so good

    Enjoyed this. Beautifully laid out with plenty of variety. Some walking and hills to keep in mind. Loved the lakes, rainforest areas as well and plenty of water dragons to keep you interested. 10-12 minute walk from city.

    I've been there for the third time yesterday. Every time I come I find a beautiful new feature that I hadn't noticed before. This time it was the Tropical Dome. I don't want to spoil it, I'll just tell you: don't miss it! Quite a sensorial experience! Also don't miss the Japanese gardens and Bonsai display. Fantastic! I recommend going as soon as it opens when it's not very crowded. 😄

    Loved the tour! Tori was an exceptional tour guide—knowledgeable, interesting, and friendly. I definitely recommend the tour to anyone interested in opals or learning about Australian opal mining.

    We had a great evening at Eat Street. There were plenty of food and drink options, and dietary requirements were well catered for. The gluten free donuts from The Doughnut Bar were the best donuts I’ve ever eaten :)

    City Hopper dose not operate anymore and has been split into 3 cross river ferries which you have to pay 50c so I recommend using the city cats which are also 50c you can use a debit/credit card tap and pay and if you have children you need to purchase a go card from the train station or 7 eleven

    Perfectly sized for an hour or two of strolling, these gardens are well worth a visit if for no other reason than to escape the hustle and bustle of central Brisbane. We visited later in the afternoon, however, and were surprised to find that cafes etc. in the gardens (and indeed in the city centre) were already closed, so do bear this in mind. Apparently it's a Brisbane/Queensland thing.
