We really weren’t sure what to expect from the park but boy, was it worth the visit! Hard to explain the magical atmosphere in words but our family (2A, 2C) loved every aspect of it. We arrived around 2pm for a very informative, entertaining guided tour then spent some time feeding turtles and fish, walking to all the great spots marked on the map and enjoying the little museum and waterfall. We then went to the pub across the road for a yummy meal, returning for the night show at 7pm. Our tour guide Mandy was great, as was Mark the owner’s appearance at the night show. If you are not sure about visiting, 100% recommend taking the time to go. Such a unique and special place!

My wife and I have wanted to visit this iconic venue for some time. Having made the effort to get to see Paronella Park, we were not disappointed. The vision and determination of Jose Paronella to build a “castle” here was incredible and he achieved so much. It is unfortunate that cyclones have destroyed so much of his work. Having said that, he has left a legacy that has to be seen to be believed. If you have ever thought of visiting here, make it happen, but make sure you take the guided tour to get the full picture.

We did the day tour in the morning. Our guide Nerida was lovely and full of information about the history of the park. The information sheets about the plants were wonderful. The cafe served a delicious iced coffee and the gift shop was sweet. Delighted to learn we can visit again in the next two years included in today’s admission. Looking forward to seeing the night tour on our next visit.

We had seen the pictures, we had seen the billboards- we ‘knew’ where we going and what we were going to see. We were sure the kids would enjoy the castles in the jungle. Not only were we right, but my wife and I enjoyed it as much, we were lucky enough to see the day and night tours and stay at the attached caravan park- what an amazing place, not only was it fascinating to see and experience but stories, the idea and sheer tenacity behind the place brings it to life. Our guide for the day Mandy was knowledgeable, friendly and is our our daughters Lucy’s new ‘best friend’ - a real credit to the park and made our visit well worth the admission- a story of dreams, desire and a can do attitude- hopefully the park continues to protect the grounds for future visitors- thanks for adventure.

Visited magical Paronella Park again one week ago, we have visited Paronella many times since 1994. We have seen many changes over this time, and we will be back in the future again. I find it a magical place, from the facts you hear on day tours, to the story again with the lights and music at night. Everyone should see this place at least once, because it is such a magical dream that came true for Jose Paronella. From Les, that welcomed us, to Lynda, Brittany, Annette, Sue and Mia, I thank You all for making another memory to hold us over till next time we can come to visit. To Mark and Judy Thank You for keeping Paronella Park for All to see, the Dream stays Alive because of All of You❤️

Great experience. Terrific guide who was so knowledgeable. An amazing feat by Jose. Some of the walks were a little uneven - care would need to be taken by elderly visitors. We had a lovely lunch at the cafe. Friendly staff.

Amazing. We have been before so we got admission to the caravan park an paronella day and night tour. The night tour is one of the best experiences we have had We spoke to the owner on the tour and his passion is unbelievable We were told we could visit the park after the tour and walk around and look at the waterfalls and castles by ourselves Unbelievable. The skywalk was amazing and mena creek pub , across the rd from park had awesome meals You have to visit this park. The story behind it is spectacular. Free entry for 2 years after visiting. Where else can you get that. Can’t fault any of it
