Updated: Dec 24, 2024

Iconic 1970's Queensland tourist attraction The Big Pineapple has reopened, so that once again visitors of all ages can experience the heritage-listed landmark with its fun onsite activities.

Standing at 16 metres (52 ft) high, the 2-level fibreglass Big Pineapple, which  opened on 15 August 1971, is situated on a 170-hectare site, originally known as the Sunshine Plantation.

Today, under new owners, the site has been transformed into a multi-purpose complex, which includes a revamped TreeTop Challenge zipline, Wildlife HQ zoo, new cafe and viewing platform and children's playground as well as the restoration of the beloved train, which was built in the 1950's.

Another newer addition to the Big Pineapple is Sunshine & Sons distillery, whilst a piece of nostalgia sits outside the cafe - the train carriage that Prince Charles and Princess Diana rode in is on permanent display.

And as of December 14 visitors can once again take tours of the heritage-listed icon and enjoy the stunning views of surrounding scenery from the top, for $10pp (children under 3 years free).

*Entry to The Big Pineapple site is free, with tickets to ride the train $10pp, tours of the Big Pineapple $10pp and separate charges to visit the zoo and Treetop Challenge. You can also purchase combo tickets to the train & zoo.
