The architecture is mesmerising as well as the story behind it. Kylie took us for about a 30 minute tour, talking about the history of the place. She was very natural in her presentation. We went for the day and spent over 4 hours. We took a picnic, as you could come and go from the park. We took our time and there were sights to behold at every turn.
Don’t go if you don’t love nature and appreciate the story behind the architecture.
We also went back for the night tour which was lovely to see the structures lit up and immerse in some lovely music. It’s short but I appreciate that it’s not any longer to not disrupt the local wildlife. Thanks Megan, Les and Yana!
You are supporting local businesses!
A truly magical place and a great piece of history you can really feel Jose’s dream come to life. Our tour guide in the day was Bill, he was absolutely amazing and helped make the park come alive with his informative tour and definitely made us want to come back with his enthusiasm! Les and Diane were a great help and provided a very interesting night tour of the park. The park is a whole different experience at night and the light and music show was fantastic.
I would recommend anyone to come here and visit in the day and night and if you’re travelling 100% use the free night at the campsite with your ticket admission. Thanks to all the staff at Paronella Park!
Also we saw lots of wild snapping turtles at the park which was a true wonder to see!
It’s very beautiful. We were able to feed fish and turtles as well as seeing many plant species.
The cafe is excellent with fresh baking and the best iced coffee (with ice-cream) I have had !
Thank You Mark and wonderful Staff from Nina and Jacky.
The man of the couple who bought the park and who renovated it even spoke to the group. These people did an amazing job with this project and they have my respect in facing this huge task. You can really see their success and the passion they put into everything. When you are around please stop for a visit and see the wonder they created with your own eyes.
The guided tour was informative, funny and well worth it. We will definitely go back for the evening tour....... being members now.
Great morning out. Head up the road to the pub for a good lunch too!!
The day tour was spectacular! Billy was the most amazing tour guide. He was knowledgeable and entertaining! He truly knew his stuff and was able to answer any question put to him. There was plenty of time to wander through the park for the thousands of photo opportunities and amazement at the many structures that have lasted the test of time.
The night tour was colourful and magical. Completely worth doing both tours.
What a beautiful love story - complete with castles!
With a 24 month ticket for the price of one day, I'll certainly be back again and again!
If you're a local your day pass can become a 2 year pass so bonus!
The story surrounding the park is by far the best and really opens up the history of the Paronella family and José's vision.
You can ignore the ridiculous one star review from January 2024, it was fascinating and inspiring when you hear of what one man went through to achieve this amazing outcome.
You’re not coming here to stay in a five star Castle!
The pub serves are great meal too, an easy 5 min walk over a swingbridge for some local hospitality.
Paranella Park is an inspiring, amazing story of one man’s dream. Please go and find out about this amazing place.
Thank you Simon for a wonderful day of learning.
In my view, it is way over priced for the experience it provides. There is literally nothing but ruins and a back story! I'm surprised how this can even be called a tourist destination. While I understand that every business wants to make money, this park offers very little value for the premium price it demands. I'm kicking myself that I didn't check the bad reviews. I feel that I've been given a sucker punch.
Megan was our tour guide and the passion and dedication of her and all the staff was like nothing I’ve ever seen.
Well done guys. Very highly recommend
Loved everything about this place!!!
Loved everything about this place!!!
Such a wonderful story behind the park and each place of the park, and Megan was an amazing tour guide.
It is such a beautiful place, I definitely recommend walking shoes if you want to properly explore the whole park. However, you could get by without them.
They also have a small cafe menu with some delicious vegan options and some locally hand-made ice blocks to refresh you after exploring the park.
My expectations were that it was like visiting ruins of one man’s vision from a century ago that was now under construction to, not bring it back to it’s former glory, but to slow down the deterioration process avoiding the whole Park turning completely into rumble over the next few decades.
So with that thought in mind, I wasn’t disappointed in what I saw but personally I don’t feel as though I need to revisit there again but would still recommend travellers going past to drop in as it’s history is quite quirky and interesting especially with all the information we received from our guided tour,
The Mena Creek Falls are great and are best seen from inside the Park but can be seen from outside the Park.
It's not cheap but the night show is worth doing for the coloured lights etc.
Unfortunately my limited research in the 24 hours before arrival didn't inform me that our ticket included a night stay for our camper - but we have 12 months to use it if we can get back up to visit in time.
That also includes a guided tour through the day and a night tour/ show.
