Karawatha Forest Discovery Centre

A nice walk through open bushland. I got there just before the discovery centre closed so I didn't go in. I did however speak to the 2 ladies at the counter who were very helpful and pointed me in the direction of the walking trails and supplied a map. I walk fairly briskly and completed the rocks and ironbark circuits in just under 40 mins. The ironbark circuit is fully sealed and wheelchair accessible. The rocks circuit is crushed gravel with some wooden steps. The landscape is open, nice to walk around on a warm afternoon with a cool breeze.

Smooth walk. A wide grass field at the entrance can provide visitors to rest, jog, kick ball,and BBQ.

Lots going on with activities for young and old. You will need to prebook for these online. The education centre office there gives out 2 native plants if you show them your rates notice per year. Great for families to enjoy the bush walk or group parties under the sheltered areas.

Lovely walks here for all ages and most levels of fitness. Loads of picnic tables too. The scenery is truly lovely!Free filtered water at the Discovery Centre, to refill one's water bottles after a walk, is a great initiative!It'll be much improved once the extended parking area is completed, as parking can be very frustrating on weekends or public holidays.Would also be helpful to have an easy walking map, in colour with landmarks, rather than the small black and white one we were given.

The place is more than wonderful for families, walking and children, it has a beautiful charm

Lovely nature centre highlighting the local flora and fauna. Super interactive for the kids with fun themes and colours etc. Fully immersive theatre showing weather. Kids always have a great time. Staff are friendly and helpful. Can bring your rates in and get your two free plants also. Full amenities with table areas scattered around. Great picnic spot. The tracks are also great to walk with kids or pram etc as they are paved path ways into the bush. Great day to explore the centre and surrounding bush lands.

Great place for kids to learn about nature. Lots of fun climbing things outside of the building too.

Great location for the adventurous. Theres quite a few hiking trails to follow. Lots of young families seem to love it here. There's also plenty of space to bring your children and lots of things you can do - play areas, bush walking, picnics, exploring a small discovery centre and more. Plenty of space to kick a ball around if you bring your own. For a free location, this is awesome for a day trip!

Love this place, it's great for all, the old and young. Plenty of picnic areas and open spaces for games. There's a wonderful kids playground, not the standard slide and monkey bars, but a log and stump style playground.Lots of trails for walks and mountain bikes.The greatest is the indoor center which is air-conditioned and a great shelter during wet weather. Plenty of activities inside for kids to keep busy. You'll find books, bugs and hands on activities coupled with dark room bush simulation.It's hidden away, and I don't think many know of the center, but definitely worth the visits.And a plus is you can get the Brisbane City Council rates free plant scheme from here.
