Welcome to Kalkari Discovery Centre, located at Mount Colah, Ku-Ring-Gai Chase Road, 402. As an establishment, point of interest, and tourist attraction, our centre offers a unique and immersive experience for visitors of all ages.
One of the highlights of Kalkari Discovery Centre is our easy Discovery trail, where you can walk and learn more about Ku-Ring-Gai's native species, Aboriginal history, and network of bushwalks. Along the trail, you will discover fascinating information about the park's plants, animals, and Aboriginal heritage, all under the guidance of our knowledgeable volunteers.
To fully experience everything Kalkari Discovery Centre has to offer, we invite you to participate in our range of educational activities for both adults and children.

If you're interested in purchasing an annual pass or retail items, please visit the nearby Bobbin Head Information Centre. Additionally, we recommend taking a short walk along the Birrawanna walking track from the Discovery Centre to reach Bobbin Head, a wonderful spot to stop and have lunch.

"Amazing experience with a nice bush walk on the top great guide to show us around. There are all types of animals. Have to just be patient and keep and eye out. Say kangaroos. Drove down and had a coffee at the river side while u can fish and kids can play in the play area. Great fun for the family and elderly alike. There is a barbecue and picnic area aswell. You can choose to trek as much as u like 500m to 5km It's open Bush land and one of the largest national reserves closest to the city just 30km. Great experience would definitely go again."
"Short easy walk with wonderful views, wildlife and educational info. Great for kids. There is a trail down to bobbin head from the car park if you feel up for a bush walk"
