Post maze, you can wind down with the 18-hole mini golf course on site.
Booloumba Creek Falls
One of the best Queensland holiday destinations has to be the stunning Booloumba Creek Falls and what better time to check it out than at Easter with the whole family. Pack a picnic and your togs for a day soaking up mother nature’s best. Marvel at the waterfalls, check out the crystal-clear rock pools and go for a refreshing dip at the base of the falls.
Pro tip: if you’re having too much fun and don’t want to leave, you can camp overnight too.

To make things even more fun, until 17 July, Brickman Cities powered by LEGO® City will be at The Wharf, Mooloolaba. Marvel at landmarks from four iconic cities in an experience that took over 2,500 hours to create, using more than one million LEGO bricks.
