Visit Australia Zoo
No Sunshine Coast holiday is complete without a visit to the world-famous Australia Zoo.
Founded by the Irwin family, Australia Zoo is home to an incredible variety of Australian and international wildlife. See crocodiles, koalas, kangaroos, giraffes, elephants and more, while learning about wildlife and conservation.
Allow a full day to make the most of everything the zoo has to offer.
Visit the Big Pineapple
One of Queensland’s most recognisable landmarks, the Big Pineapple has been a Sunshine Coast icon for generations.
Located at Woombye, it makes a fun stop while exploring the hinterland and, of course, provides the perfect opportunity for a classic Sunshine Coast holiday photo.
Shop, Dine & Explore at Sunshine Plaza
If you need a break from the beach or the weather isn’t cooperating, head to Sunshine Plaza in Maroochydore.
As one of the Sunshine Coast’s major shopping and entertainment destinations, you’ll find a huge selection of stores, restaurants, cafés and entertainment in one convenient location.
Sea Life @ Mooloolaba
Mooloolaba is also home to SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast, a popular family attraction featuring sharks, seals, rays, penguins and an impressive underwater tunnel.
