We opted for just the factory tour and tasting, the rest of the compound was really designed for much younger children than ours (although it's enjoyed hamming it up). FYI the factory doesn't actually operate on the weekend so your factory tour is really a story of what does happen rather than seeing it first hand (if you go on the weekend like us). We really enjoyed the tasting at the end

Fantastic few hours out. Very clean, lots of staff to help Boat ride is fantastic, again very clean .. it could easily be dusty and not maintained but it’s wonderfully kept .. we enjoyed the train ride & grounds.. Lunch in the cafe,was quick and nice .. Bought some souvenirs..

We visited The Yandina Ginger Factory a few weeks ago and what a delightful place. We did a tour and had a good look around then a coffee with ginger scones and purchase some ginger delights😊😊 All of this place is well worth a visit!! Also the Ginger Refresher is the best and is a concentrate with water to add. Very best Ginger Drink around far better than any other Ginger Beer or cordial on the market! Well worth visiting 😊😊

Great spot for something different, something for everyone with free entry & very reasonably priced add ons. We did the ginger factory tour & tasting. Good amount of information & lovely guide. Great tasting with free take home recipe cards. No pushing of products very relaxed whisk recommend.

We were just passing through, heading to Maroochydore but we had to have a quick stop at The Ginger Factory, for a top-up of their beautiful and the best tasting ginger products – yes, I know… we can order online but I much prefer to view the products in person and entry is FREE (including parking). If you want to do rides or factory tour tastings, you need to purchase your tickets either online or from the front desk – they accept both cash or card. We have been at The Ginger Factory a few years ago, the best experience for families – young or old, it’s fun, colourful and memorable. We took part in the ‘Overboard’ experience (our first visit a few years ago), the ride is smooth and the puppetry show was amazing and very entertaining – our girls absolutely enjoyed the ride, the smiles on their faces, was priceless… highly recommend. Their factory had welcoming renovations and more new activities since our last visit and their café area is still spacious, comfortable and ever so clean and strollers/wheelchair friendly access. There’s lots to choose to eat or drink, staff are very friendly and patient, well maintained and service quick and efficient, considering how packed the place was – definitely a popular tourism spot. This factory is well worth a visit or in my case… visits 😊, you could easily spend a few hours or a whole day there, lots to do and see. Or if you are on a tight budget, just simply stroll, browse around their beautiful surrounding and have something to eat and/or drink. They even have a Kids Play Area and lots of photo opportunities, love their beautiful mural display. Just before we left, we visited the gift stores and bought lots of goodies. If ginger products not for you, they do stock other delicious products and souvenirs (supporting other local companies as well). I bought a couple of jars of plum jam – they are rare to find, and of course my ginger survival pack. If you are planning on going to The Ginger Factory, download the Gruffalo Trail app, so you’re ready to go when you arrive and be part of the journey and follow the trail. No wonder why, The Ginger Factory is a popular place and why they have won many awards - well deserving! Definitely will be back again, just as couples and do the ‘Live Bee Show & Tastings’ and ‘Factory Tour & Tastings’. Highly recommend for young and old and they are opened 7 days a week (closed on Christmas day only), from 9am to 5pm.

Had a great couple of hours here. We were meant to go last year but couldn’t make it and after emailing the day before, they were more than happy to let us use the “older” tickets. Clean, tidy and wasn’t too busy! Boat & Train ride were fun. Kids loved them. Gruffalo trail was excellent and interactive. Had a quick bite to eat and food was decent. Would recommend.

Ginger factory is more geared towards families with young children. However, the factory tour is really interesting, the guide knowledgeable and tour tasting is really worth doing if you are an older group (including teens). Their garden is lovely (although a good section was closed during our visit due to recent storm damage) and the ginger and macadamia ice cream is definitely worth trying! For the young kids, there are boat and train rides which we didn't do with a 15yo, but seemed very popular.

The Ginger Factory is a really fun day out, particularly for those with small kids. The train ride in particular is very informative and really enjoyable. Our nice day out was only marred by the stupidity of the boat ride. It was a busy early January day and we couldn’t understand why it took half an hour to get on the boat ride (our tickets allowed us “as many rides as we like”… fat chance with a half hour wait each time!) We had pre booked wrist bands at the front entrance and couldn’t understand why the boats were all leaving with 2-4 passengers when they seat 10-12. We soon saw why… the whole thing is set up to sell photos to tourists. They obviously realise if you have a boat full of strangers with you, you won’t buy an overpriced photo after. This might be fine on a quieter day, but in peak January holiday season, it’s ridiculous. We should have waited five minutes, but waited 30 instead so they could sell photos. A real shame since the rest of the park was excellent.

My wife and I took two teenage grandchildren here for the day and it was a hit all round. As we were booked on tours, we had an early lunch at the restaurant where we found the menu to be relatively extensive, reasonably priced and not long to wait for our order. Nice food. We then did the factory tour which was interesting and informative, the only problem being noisy children who made it hard to hear the guide. We then checked out the shops before taking the entertaining train ride through the extensive grounds. This was followed by a walk through the forest before sampling the ginger ice cream and heading home. Both children want to return and we would be happy to take them there again. Worth considering booking rides etc on line as the queue at the ticket counter can be quite long.

I haven't been before, so I took my friend from Melbourne. We did the Factory tour and Harvest tour - both were very informative about how they grow and make their ginger products. The products are very yummy! You get to taste test on both of these tours. We saw heaps of families with kids there on the day - all the kids were having a great time too.
