About Karawatha Forest Discovery Centre
Welcome to the Karawatha Forest Discovery Centre, located in the beautiful Karawatha Forest Park in Australia. As an establishment, park, point of interest, and tourist attraction, our centre offers a unique and informative experience for both locals and visitors alike.
One of the highlights of our centre is Queensland's first nature play space, designed to engage children and inspire a love for nature. Through interactive exhibits and educational displays, we aim to inform visitors about the significance of the natural area and raise awareness about the local frog population.
While you're here, we invite you to explore the forest with the Agents of Discovery mobile game. Download the free app from Google Play or the Apple Store and embark on a fun and educational adventure.
In addition to our interactive exhibits, the Karawatha Forest Discovery Centre also offers two meeting rooms available for hire. These spaces are perfect for community groups, organizations, and corporate events. Please note that the rooms are not available for parties, individuals, or private groups. Visit our Hiring environment centre meeting rooms page to learn more and make a booking.
As part of our commitment to greening the city, we offer a Free Native Plants program. The nursery at the Karawatha Forest Discovery Centre is open from Tuesday to Sunday, providing a range of endemic species to help grow Brisbane's urban forest and support local wildlife. Simply present your paid rates notice or written authority from the property owner or manager dated in the current financial year, and you'll receive two free native plants from our Council display stand.
Our environment centres are open to the public, allowing individuals to learn and explore the natural environment at their own pace. We also offer curriculum-based learning programs for school groups. If you're interested in making a group booking, please complete our online school learning program booking form.
If you're passionate about conservation and want to make a difference, consider joining our volunteer program. We offer a variety of volunteering opportunities, allowing you to raise awareness about our reserves and environment while enjoying the company of like-minded individuals.
To help you navigate the Karawatha Forest Park, we provide a map with track locations, grading, and length of tracks. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or a casual nature enthusiast, there's something for everyone to enjoy in this stunning natural setting.
At the Karawatha Forest Discovery Centre, we are dedicated to keeping Brisbane clean, green, and sustainable. We value your help in protecting the over 2500 plant and animal species that call our city home.
Lastly, we would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of this Country and pay our respects to the Elders, both past and present. We honor their connection to the land and strive to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for all.

Reviews of Karawatha Forest Discovery Centre
"Always lovely visiting here. There's a great education/info centre with activities for kids. There's a few walks to go on. Ironbark is a great starter. It's flat with a smooth path the whole way round. Takes about 20-30mins"
"good place to visit, can enjoy nature, and have a good walk here. there's a lot of place to sit to have picnic or just for relax. oh, there's a playground as well. kids friendly, recommended"
"What a fabulous place for a family day out! I loved visiting Karawatha Forest, the Discovery Centre was great and lots of fun even as an adult and the staff were super friendly and helpful. I spent a couple of hours exploring the great walking tracks, saw loads of birds and a few walabies and loved sitting up on the rocks with my nature journal. The facilities here are great, easy parking, toilets, bbqs, seating and plenty of space to run around or relax. I visited in a Saturday morning and it was busy but not crowded as there is lots of different areas Beautiful job Brisbane City Council I cant wait to go back for the 10km track"
"The Discovery Centre itself is well-designed and modern, providing a wealth of information about the forest's biodiversity and conservation efforts. Interactive displays, educational exhibits, and engaging presentations make it a fantastic destination for families, school groups, or anyone with a keen interest in the environment. One of the highlights of my visit was the network of walking trails that weave through the forest. These paths offer an opportunity to explore the natural wonders at your own pace. By chance you can see kangaroos in there we saw one."
"Lovely walks here for all ages and most levels of fitness. Loads of picnic tables too. The scenery is truly lovely! Free filtered water at the Discovery Centre, to refill one's water bottles after a walk, is a great initiative! It'll be much improved once the extended parking area is completed, as parking can be very frustrating on weekends or public holidays. Would also be helpful to have an easy walking map, in colour with landmarks, rather than the small black and white one we were given."
