Paronella Park

Paronella Park is an excellent family attraction. The setting is spectacular – castle ruins surrounded by rainforest gardens right beside a stunning waterfall.

Parents and older children will really enjoy the story of the Paronella family and their amazing creation. For younger ones there are lots of great places to explore and turtles and fish to feed. The night tour is excellent and the kids loved having their own torch and walking through the gardens at night.

The entry price is $80 for a family of 4 and includes free camping at the onsite caravan park too.

Child-friendly

Families are welcome! Kids really enjoy exploring the grounds of the park. As it is a historical site pram access can be tricky, a baby sling or carrier of some sort would be better if you have one.

Kids menu

The Cafe on the Deck does snacks, drinks and light refreshments.
