Reviews for Queensland Parliament
Joanne Robinson
Was walking to the gardens and came across a sign that there were free tours of Qld Parliament that day at 1, 2 and 3pm. Was a very interesting 30 minute tour. Guides were very friendly and knowledgeable
ian parry
You’ll only know if you go! Our family really enjoyed getting up close to watch the Members of Parliament in action. The building is full of interesting traditions and history, and the gardens — especially the roses — are beautiful. It’s no theme park, but it’s definitely an interesting and worthwhile visit.
A Bohemia Life
This is such a significant and beautiful part of Brisbane’s history. The heritage, culture and politics that have shaped the city over the decades is evident on every floor, in every room and in the stories on the walls. There is so much to see that you should allow as much time as you can to take it all in. Sign up for the tour, take part in the high tea events as well as the Christmas in July experience.

Tristan Salvi
Came to the Queensland Parliment for a Small Business Association event which was amazing and full of great information. The place and staff were great and the high tea set-up and food was also great. Great location for walks around and beautiful views. I am looking forward to the next event. The security staff were also helpful.
