What to do on a rainy day on the Sunshine Coast
Rain doesn’t stop play at Fairhill in Ninderry, 5 minutes from Yandina. Much of Fairhill is under cover, so a wet day still works.
Cuddle Corner
Hold the chicks and feed the guinea pigs out of the rain: gentle undercover animal encounters the kids will talk about all the way home.
Little Sprouts indoor play
Imaginative indoor play for children under 10, included in every Day Pass and Membership, with grown-up supervision.
Cuddle & Brush with the mini goats
Our Adventures run undercover, so the weather changes nothing: mini baby goats to cuddle and brush, with a ranger showing everyone how.
The Atrium, Farm Shop and Local Makers’ Marketplace
Undercover the whole way along: local food, unique locally made gifts and indoor plants. Somewhere to take your time when the rain is setting in.
Lunch under cover
The Gardens Café serves breakfast, brunch and lunch. Sit in the Longhouse Pavilion or the Figtree Marquee, or the Rotunda for a small group of up to 8.
The gardens in the rain
The gardens come more alive when it rains: the native frogs sing louder in the rainforest pockets and raindrops sparkle on the leaves.
