Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Kamal PByron Bay, Australia10,008 contributionsIt was crowded being the New Year’s Eve but we were lucky to find a parking spot very close to the summit at the Mount Coot-tha. Viewing gallery - the open-air deck provided a 180-degree view that covered the Brisbane CBD area and the Brisbane River. The summer house was the highest point at the summit. Old building atop Mt. Coo-tha was a typical yesteryear, beautiful structure being currently subject for renovation and repair. It was a great place to visit to take a good look at Brisbane CBD from a very higher elevation.Written 26 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Stuart CBournemouth, UK4,363 contributionsBrisbane botanical gardens are a must visit when in the city. Great wildlife, flowers and a park. Unusually has food stores at the weekend too!Written 19 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Dan LBunbury, Australia9,017 contributionsWe crossed it in a taxi and sailed under a few times with ferry services. Probably more impressive from the river with its cantilever construction and piers at each end although only was required at the North end as the structure could be anchored to the cliff face. The South end piers were challenging to construct to a depth of 40m below water levels and required the installation of caissons. A feat of construction in the late 1930's with an overall length of 777m and a height of 30m above water. It was Heritage listed in 1992 and included as a Queensland icon 2009 during the celebrations of Q150, the sesquicentenary of the Separation of Queensland from New South Wales in 1859Written 7 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jon F45 contributionsThe tour is free, but one needs to sign up for it. It provides interesting information about the city, in an attractive building. The small city museum is also in the building, and provides more insight into the city, as well as works by local artists.Written 28 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lucinda JWellington, New Zealand1,136 contributionsGreat views especially at night pity that some windows are scratched so that hindered the view a little bit.

- CasandraTPSydney, Australia4,472 contributionsThis is a fascinating old building which had been converted into a live venue. On Saturday mornings there is a farmers market next door which is fabulous. The building has great street art on it and really interesting sculptures as well. Do look at the signs as they are not as they appear to be. It is easy to get to via city cat and worth checking out their website for live shows.Written 13 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- walt101Doha, Qatar162 contributionsThe tour was fun. I didn't find it scary, though some of the stories were both interesting and gruesome. Our guide was good, with lots of interesting tales of life inside, escapes, executions, ghostly visits by ex-prisoners, and the appearance of a ghostly cat called Tripod (he had three legs).
I'd also recommend them for their great customer service. Having booked a few weeks in advance, one of our party (my 11-year-old niece) became a COVID close contact and had to isolate for the week, just before the tour. The organisers were so helpful in re-arranging another date.
So, excellent customer service, great tales of a darker side of Brisbane's history, and a fun way to spend an evening with friends or family.Written 6 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Includes a number of good-looking restaurants and bars. We visited a number of times while staying on the South Bank and it was always buzzy with lots of cheery people about.Written 10 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- FayPrahran, Australia157 contributionsSo beautiful! Everything you need in this 100 year old Arcade. If you are looking for top of the range clothing from award winning designers or hand crafted jewellery of diamonds and gems from well known artisans, or everything to do with tea from Tea Centre, or superlative pens from the Penn Shop, or master engravers or….or……or then the Brisbane Arcade is where to indulge yourself.
