1 / 3Thunderbird Park
📍 Tamborine Mountain, QLD
Adventure park on Tamborine Mountain with treetop zip lines, hands-on geode fossicking with a rock-cutting machine, working mini excavators, natural rock pools, and a camping ground in the Gold Coast hinterland.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for adventurous families who want physical, hands-on activities rather than a polished theme park. The zip line suits kids and adults equally. Fossicking rewards patience — younger children may tire of digging before striking a good find. The natural rock pool is the best cooling-off option on a hot day.

“The staff are INCREDIBLE! The team are absolutely beautiful, and make you feel so welcome. The gentleman who works at the front desk at the Canyon Flyer, is so bubbly and friendly, and as soon as we arrived he made us feel so at ease. Huge shoutout to our guides, Melody and Sam, who were so so great!! They made our group feel super safe whilst ziplining. I even conquered my fear of heights! Our group also did some fossicking, and the tall, curly haired gentleman who works at the Rock Shop is so good at his job and incredibly knowledgeable. My cousin ended up getting scraped up when we went up the hill and he couldn’t have been more helpful. Definitely will be back!”

“Great place for families. We were camping there for Australian Day long weekend with big group of friends. We had powered sizes and good amoof share which was so important during extremaly hot days. The natural rock poolside and Cristal Clear and cold water was amazing and refreshing. A lot of additional activities included some without extra charge. Great facilities. I think we will be back one day again! :)”

“A big shout out to Shai and Callum for the zipline experience, great experience and a great adventure. Highly recommended. I also took the time to review the reviews prior to attending and I was most impressed with the management/owner and genuine responses to feedback. Most impressive, keep up the great work guys.”
