Homeschool Groups

A perfect spot for homeschool adventures

Calling all Sunshine Coast homeschooling families — Fairhill Adventure Gardens is a hidden gem for fun, learning and a real connection with nature.

Why Homeschool Families Love Fairhill

Fairhill Adventure Gardens brings learning to life through nature, animals, play and shared discovery. Our goal is for children to gain increased resilience, and increased respect for animals, through our Ranger-led sessions.

You can explore Queensland's original native Botanic Gardens, meet friendly farm animals, follow nature trails and take part in engaging Ranger-led activities.

Our combination of structured experiences and self-directed exploration suits different ages, interests and learning styles. Children have opportunities to develop practical knowledge, curiosity, confidence and social connections, while parents meet and build friendships with other homeschool families.

With room to explore, play, learn and spend the day together, Fairhill offers a welcoming and flexible environment where education happens naturally, and Happiness is in our Nature.

Discover the opportunities for discovery, hands-on learning and connection with the natural world, where our Gardens are a living classroom ideal for educational visits, group co-op meetings or unschooling-style curriculum activities.

Book a group visit

Day Tickets and Memberships prices are very affordable, and Fairhill also engages to swap and barter.

We look forward to welcoming you.
