3 Best Landmarks in Sunshine Coast, QLD

We didn't realise the place was undergoing maintenance before we arrived, but we still had a super time! We played the treasure hunt game, got to see some awesome doll set-ups and learn a thing or two about medieval times. Their toy/gift shop is also incredibly extensive, with tons of European branded toys. The staff are also super friendly and helpful, I recommend visiting this place.

Unfortunately, some sections are closed off, but that did not stop us from enjoying our visit. We did the treasure hunt, explored all the displays, and then enjoyed some refreshments in the cafe. The staff is super friendly and helpful.

First time was in 1989, the years have taken its toll on the castle but its still a great visit with the grandkids, their eyes light up when they saw the dolls and princesses. Thanks for the memories.

These lighthouses once dominated the high ground but are now surrounded by multilevel developments. Friends of Caloundra Lighthouse volunteer group arrange regular open days for both the new and old lighthouses. They have also amassed a huge amount of locale photographic and memorabilia from Caloundra and surrounds. A true example of local Sunshine Coast history, check the web page for tour times.

Great wee piece of history. $2 to go up the top. It was open only the 2nd and 4th weekend of each month it said from memory I believe, as it's managed kindly by volunteers. It's closed during covid. I feel like its a great piece of history and worth a short amount or time to see and appreciate it for what it is.

Great views and lovely history. The gardens are kept well and are worth a walk. They are heritage-listed and something interesting to see.

It might be just a big pineapple, but it’s one of those iconic “big things” dotted around Australia. Up close it is actually very detailed (unlike some of the other “big things”) and make a great photo. If you’re passing by then it’s definitely worth stopping for a photo. And it’s only 10 min from the Sunshine Coast airport.

Great renovation, lovely playground for the little kids too. Terrific customer service - thank you Juliette & Harry! Looking forward to the next stage with more to see and do. Didn't go to the zoo on this occassion (but it is fantastic) and you see lots of animals from the train too.

The Big Pineapple lives up to its name. We loved this local attraction, train ride was fabulous and well priced. Train driver and guide was lovely and very informative.
