One of the highlights of your visit will be the chance to interact with our dedicated Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service Rangers, who play a crucial role in caring for our park's wildlife. Don't miss the Fleays in Flight show, where you'll be amazed by the breathtaking wing spans and speed of our large birds of prey.

Conveniently located at the corner of West Burleigh Road and Loman Lane in West Burleigh, we are just a 15-minute drive from Gold Coast airport, 25 minutes from Surfers Paradise, and 90 kilometers south of Brisbane.
