    Review of: Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary
    Not to be missed
    Fun day and staff very knowledgeable so ask away anything is not a problem. Koalas well cared for so what’s not to like. Not often you can this close to the koalas so give it a go.

    Review of: South Bank Parklands
    Nice afternoon
    Nice place for lazy afternoon. Everything you need is well in reach. Superb for families with small children. We rented bikes and drove next to the river.

    Review of: Mount Coot-Tha Summit Lookout
    Great sunrise view
    It was a wonderful experience watching the sunrise from here. It is beautiful to see the sun come up and spread light. Afterwards we had great time enjoying coffee at the cafe. It was a perfect start to a great day.

    Review of: Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt. Coot-tha
    Beautiful garden and excellent customer service from Brisbane CIty Council
    Beautiful garden and excellent customer service. We spent an excellent and enjoable day wandering around this garden. There are various sections, each focussing on a specific theme, e.g. tropical, australian bush etc.

    Customer service reps have been wonderful, knowledgeable and patient in explaining the various sights and what to do.
    The onsite restaurant is very slow in serving on the day we visited. All in all, an enjoyable and fun outing.

    Tip: Best to visit early as parking in the garden is limited

    Review of: City Cat
    Best way to get around
    Why get involved on the streets when you can go by boat? Great way to see parts of Brisbane on a friendly, clean and efficient service.
    Plan your route and you can hop on and off, getting to those places you want to visit.
    We were here for 4 days and made the most of the service

    Review of: XXXX Brewery Tour
    HIGHLY RECOMMEND XXXX TOUR
    What an unforgettable experience! Our tour guide Torry was super funny and entertaining. The history on beer videos played were well put together and engaging. The whole tour was amazing and the beer tasting was fun! We also got $5 gift voucher to spend on awesome XXXX merch. After the tour we had some yummy Woodfire pizza and more beer in the bar area and played pool. Such a fun Saturday afternoon spent with friends! I would highly recommend if your looking for things to do in Brissy!

    Review of: City Hopper
    Free city hopper
    This is an excellent free city ferry service.

    Boats are smaller than their usual ferries.

    I used the service one way to go from Riverside to Howard Smith Wharves to enjoy a few drinks at this atmospheric location full of bars and restaurants.

    Review of: Roma Street Parkland
    Beautiful water features
    As the title suggests, there are some beautiful water features to look at. There were plenty of amenities and shady spots to sit and relax, as well as the convenience of a short walk to Roma St train station.

    Review of: Eat Street Northshore
    Great variety of international food plus entertainment
    For me this was actually my favorite attraction in all of Brisbane. A huge variety of food vendors with cuisine from all over the world plus multiple stages with musical entertainment. I really enjoyed my time here.

    Review of: City Botanic Gardens
    Great day for a picnic!
    Very Well maintained gardens, several precints in the one area, bordering the Brisbane River and edge of the city. The Duck pond is quite large with plenty of turtles and Lizards roaming its edge.
    Nice little markets on Sundays, inside the city gates end - perfect for a breakfast or lunch picnic date, a range of food stalls, coffee and juice tents and a Gin tasting tent to cap it off.
    There is also a proud little display of 'dinner plate' size Hibiscus flower's, over near the rivers edge,towards the children's adventure playground.

    Review of: Boggo Road Gaol (Jail)
    Fun way to spend a Saturday night
    The tour was fun. I didn't find it scary, though some of the stories were both interesting and gruesome. Our guide was good, with lots of interesting tales of life inside, escapes, executions, ghostly visits by ex-prisoners, and the appearance of a ghostly cat called Tripod (he had three legs).

    I'd also recommend them for their great customer service. Having booked a few weeks in advance, one of our party (my 11-year-old niece) became a COVID close contact and had to isolate for the week, just before the tour. The organisers were so helpful in re-arranging another date.

    So, excellent customer service, great tales of a darker side of Brisbane's history, and a fun way to spend an evening with friends or family.

    Review of: The Brisbane River
    Hire a Scooter!
    THe whole river is lined with walk, cycle and scooter lanes. I hired a scooter and went for miles and miles checking out the sights. This is a great way to explore Bribsnae. The scooters can also be used in the CBD and inner city suburbs. Just drop the scooter anywhere when you are done. Easy as.

    Review of: Kangaroo Point Cliffs Park
    Hop to Kangaroo Point
    A pivotal point to place yourself after exploring the city, or taking in a walk or run. Kangaroo Point is one of the best spots to ‘drink it all in’ and the view of Brisbane at night is quite spectacular. My daughter and I enjoy any time spent here, often after a day of adventure, travel and fun. Whether it be to dangle our legs over the wall, to share a story, or simply absorb the view, this location is great place of beauty and reflection. What you capture through the lens will be reward of another special day spent in a prominent place and with those who you love 💜 red 🌹

    Review of: Queensland Museum
    Well presented and a great way to spend a couple hours.
    Unfortunately alot of levels and displays closed. Those that were open were very interesting and well presented. The animals that were taxidermy were absolutely brilliant and presented so realistic. Very clean and very welcoming staff.
