3 Best Places To Visit in Rockhampton QLD

Amazing limestone caves with so many different formations. The guide was excellent with information and knowledge. As we only had 3 in group, he showed us a couple of extra areas. We did the Explorer which was a bit more exciting than walking on a walkway. It required climbing over rocks and a couple of squeezy parts, but it was fine. We declined to go through the small tunnel however. Excellent value. The coffee in the Cafe was excellent too. Very disappointing that you can't stay in the caravan park outside school holidays.

We went on the Cathedral caves yesterday. It was fantastic . The guide was extremely knowledgeable, engaging and enthusiastic (also very funny). The cave was spectacular and the experience in the Cathedral was amazing. So well done. I would highly recommend this tour.

Thank you so much to your very competent and entertaining guide, James. He was fantastic and the cathedral tour was simply amazing. We enjoyed every minute of it and though we are also familier with caves in Danmark, this was really special.

Spent a few trips to this beautiful garden. Seeing the different native trees of Australia and species from overseas was an education. I went back to the Japanese Garden for peace and quiet, the little waterfall was beautiful to listen too. Had visited here 40 years ago with my young son, Phil, just after it had been completed. The cafe is a good break and is opened till about 5pm. Good meals or a quick snack and drinks. The late afternoon sun setting on the lagoon was serene. Colours AMA,ing but had to remember they shut the gates at 6pm I had to leave.

The Rocky botanical gardens is an absolutely beautiful place to spend the day. Something for everyone; a cafe to escape the heat, an incredible revamped playground area that caters for all ages and abilities, the different gardens with all the information. The ponds are beautiful to walk around and see the birds and fish. The free zoo is a good asset as well. The renovations should be great!

One of the most amazing gardens you'll see. Some parts of it feels like a rainforest. Some very large trees grow here. The playground is nestled under all these large trees creating natural shade for the all ages of children to play. The playground itself is also amazing!! Definitely worth a visit.

This is a nice museum with amazingly preserved pieces of history. Nearly in the heart of Rockhampton, inside the railway station you will discover how the trains of the area operated over the centuries and what it meant for the growth of the town. Staff members looking after the place are always smiling and passionate about this important place. Enjoy taking a look at what the inside of the carriages used to be and get a fantastic photo of sitting in the train driver's seat! Lastly, have a ride on the tram cart that travels through the town, lots of fun for the family.

The volunteers have really put their all into this place. Beautiful displays and very clever soundscape on the platform with life like models. My kids loved the ride on the tram. A well spent morning in Rockhampton.

Great historical place to visit. Staff is fantastic. Price very reasonable. Access to trains. Informative videos through out the museum. Nice place to have morning tea.
