To help get your itinerary sorted, we’ve rounded up the best things to do this Easter on the Sunshine Coast.
Maroochy Wetlands Sanctuary
After all that chocolate, it’s time to stretch your legs at one of the most beautiful places
in Queensland, Maroochy Wetlands Sanctuary. Located in Bli Bli, explore the lush rainforest, salt marsh, casuarina woodland and mangroves of this magical diverse area. Stroll along the new two metre-wide boardwalk (suitable for prams) as it meanders through the greenery, coming out at the Maroochy River. It’s the perfect wholesome family activity.
Australia Zoo

As well as being home to species from all around the world (think: cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, crocs and more) and crocs ), you'll find loads of exciting presentations, conservation messages, and up-close feeding experiences to enjoy.

Plus, if you’re having too much fun and don’t want to leave, you can camp overnight too.
