Thunderbird Park

Last updated February 2026

Nestled in the lush rainforest of Tamborine Mountain, Thunderbird Park offers a full day of outdoor adventure for families. This expansive property, located a scenic drive from both Brisbane and the Gold Coast, provides a natural playground with a wide array of activities. While known for its treetop rope courses and thunderegg fossicking, the park also features a prehistoric-themed mini golf course that winds through the landscape. The setting alongside the beautiful Cedar Creek makes it a refreshing escape from the city. With multiple activities on-site, it is a destination designed to keep children of all ages engaged and entertained. **What to Bring** Enclosed shoes for all activities. Sunscreen and hats. Insect repellent. Water bottles. A change of clothes and a towel if visiting the nearby creek. Card or cash for activities and food. **Best Age Range** The park caters to a wide age group, but is best for children aged 5 to 12. This age range can fully enjoy the core activities like the junior high ropes course, thunderegg fossicking, and mini golf. Younger children will enjoy the mini golf, while teenagers will be challenged by the more advanced treetop courses. **Good to Know** Free on-site parking is available but can fill up quickly on weekends. It is highly recommended to book activities online in advance, especially during school holidays. There is a kiosk on-site for casual meals, snacks, and drinks. The natural terrain can be uneven and hilly, which may be difficult for some prams. **Nearby** Cedar Creek Falls is located right next to the park, offering beautiful walking tracks and rock pools. A short drive away is the Tamborine Mountain Gallery Walk, a strip of cafes, gift shops, and art galleries. **Tips From Other Parents** "Book your session times online before you arrive, especially for the Treetop Challenge, to avoid disappointment." "Wear old clothes for thunderegg fossicking as you will get dusty and a little muddy." "If you're planning on doing a few activities, look into the multi-pass options to save some money."
