I stop off here often going between Sydney and Brisbane. Over recent years it really has become quite run down. Sure stop and snap a photo, grab a choc banana but otherwise, keep your cash for the Gold Coast theme parks. More

We were looking for some thing different, but again, a wet Coffs day. The staff were indifferent, too much commercialism and we couldn't get out quickly enough. More

I remember visiting here as a kid and being excited by it all. My wife and I called in (midweek) and it was like a ghost town.

The Big Banana has a fantastic water slide park that the kids will love and Mum and Dad. This is our second visit and my husband talked me into 'having a go' with the kids. It was great fun! You also must try the chocolate coated bananas! The staff at the Candy/Lolly store take the prize for the rudest staff... More

This is very 70's but fun. Iconic Coffs Harbour attraction with more than just the Big Banana. Toboggan, laser tag, ice skating, puppet shop, candy shop. Great Place to Stop, Revive, Survive More

The gift shop is handy and had lot of imagination gone in with large number of items using (and inspired) by bananas. I got to know that Coffs Harbour contributes a large chunk of banana cultivation outside Queensland in Australia. Didn't... More
