Road Trip and Travel

Paronella park night tour.

At 6:15 pm, Paronella Park’s only night tour begins. The tour lasted about an hour before a night musical performance. We were lucky enough to attend and catch the String Family quartet play during their limited residence show.

Darkness Falls Tour

We met at the tour waiting area located behind the ticket counter and gift shop. There, the guides handed everyone flashlights to use while walking the ground in the darkness. Paronella Park offers a shuttle ride for those needing help getting to the lower level, skipping the Grand Staircase.

Our first stop for the night tour was The Castle. Here, our guide spoke of grand events when José Paronella opened the park in 1935. Paronella Park hosted movies, dancing, weddings and was a high-class hangout.

Children started paying for their ice cream with wet coins from the fountain. José placed eels inside the fountain and claimed it to be electric, which ended the children sneaking out the coins.

Lower Level

After descending the Grand Staircase at dusk, we turned toward Mena Creek Falls and saw bright lights beaming through the water. The colorful sky only lasted for several minutes, allowing us to sneak in a few more photographs.

Walking close to the Tunnel of Love, we heard the screeches of bats flying inside. The tunnel isn’t structurally safe to walk through, but we peeked inside using our flashlights.

Tucked away in a quiet corner is Teresa Falls. With floodlights shining down, the water sparkles, and colors are brought out of surrounding nature. It is beautiful!

Night Wildlife Encounters

Expect to run into nocturnal creepy crawlies and hear the flapping of bats wings while walking through the rainforest at night. With a flashlight in hand and darkness all around, these creatures add to the experience of this tour.

Lower Refreshment Rooms

The grand finale of the night tour is at the magnificently lit Lower Refreshment Rooms area. Marveling at our elegant surroundings, we sat back and remembered everything we learned from touring Paronella Park.

The String Family

At night, in front of the Lower Refreshment Rooms, the String Family performed an amazing array of classical and original music among the dazzling lights. To discover more about this show, go to The String Family – Paronella Park post.

We highly recommend visiting Paronella Park. I am delighted I stumbled upon this gem and pursued visiting. Pictures and words are not sufficient enough to capture the beauty and magic this park has to offer. Thank you, Paronella Park, for the amazing memories! We can’t wait to go back.

Paronella Park - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (2024)

Visiting Paronella Park in Queensland, Australia

July 21, 2021 | Posted in: Australia

I often visit parks on my travels. Botanical gardens, city parks, … I like places where I can go for a stroll while also having something to look at. They can be a bit hit or miss, though, and when I visited Queensland in Australia with an ex, I didn't know if Paronella Park would live up to its raving reviews.

I'm now happy to say that it did.

Paronella Park history

Where is paronella park, visiting the park, paronella park opening hours and days, paronella park entry fee, the paronella park camping, the paronella park cabins, other accommodation near paronella park, paronella park tours from cairns, don't forget travel insurance, visiting paronella park.

Paronella Park was founded by José Paronella, who came to Queensland in 1913 to work as a sugar cane cutter. He worked his way up in this industry and fell in love with the region. So much so, that he purchased a piece of land there in 1929.

Paronella never planned it to be a private property. Instead, he turned the land into a park to be enjoyed by everyone. It had a reception area, a castle, his own home, a theater, refreshment rooms, and a museum.

Outside, guests could enjoy the tea garden and swimming, play tennis, or stroll along the many paths of the park. There was even a playground for children.

Paronella Park is located right next to Mena Creek Falls in Mena Creek, Queensland. Paronella had this waterfall replicated for his daughter Teresa. It suffered quite some blows over time, mostly because of storms and floods, and was even closed for a while.

The current owners, Mark and Judy Evans, bought the park in 1993 and have since worked hard to give it back some of its former glory and share its magic with visitors.  

On the Paronella Park night tour, a guide takes you to places in the park that are lit up especially for the tour while sharing all kinds of quirky facts and stories. You could say that in terms of the information you get, the night tour is an add-on to the daytime tour.

And of course, it is quite magical to see the old stone buildings lit up against the night sky.

Quite recently, a special closing act has been added to the Paronella night tour. At the end of the tour, the multi-award-winning quartet The String Family (mother, daughter, son, and father) gave a short concert at the Paronella castle.

If the sounds of their instruments don't give you goosebumps, the voice of the mother singing definitely will.

To add to the emotion, everyone gets a little present at the end of the night tour: a piece of stone that broke off from the Paronella Park castle during Cyclone Larry in 2006, accompanied by the reminder to follow our dreams, just like José Paronella did, and the hope that just like his, our dreams may come true.

I still have that piece of stone.

We arrived at Paronella Park for the night tour and then roamed the park freely by ourselves the next morning. If you want to get all the information, the staff at the park recommended to do the daytime tour first and then the night tour after.

If you'd still like more information, you can also take a tour of the on-site hydroelectric plant. This is also free but you do need to sign up for it beforehand.

The daytime tour runs daily every half hour, starting at 9.30 a.m. with the last one departing at 4.30 p.m. The tours last about 45 minutes.

The nighttime tour runs daily as well, sometimes only at 6.15 p.m. and sometimes at 6.15 p.m. and then again at 8 p.m. It lasts about 45 minutes to one hour, the concert included.

The Hydro tour runs daily at a specific time, which the staff will share with you upon your arrival. It's necessary to reserve your spot for this tour if you want to do it.  

Paronella Park prices and practical information

Paronella Park is open all-year-round from 9 a.m. until before the night tour starts, as everybody who doesn't go on the tour, needs to be out of the park. On the website, it says that the park closes at 7.30 p.m. but we got our information from the staff at the park when we visited.

The only day of the year that Paronella Park is closed, is on Christmas day.  

The Paronella Park entrance fee is 47 AUD for adults. Several discounts are available.

You might think that price seems a bit high to visit a park, but take into account that this includes:

• three tours you can go on
• a Paronella Park map with information
• a 16-page self-guided botanical walk through the park
• a free night at the on-site campsite (more on that below)
• fish food to feed the fish in the creek
• umbrella rental when necessary
• use of a courtesy vehicle when necessary
• entrance to the museum with historical photos

And if that's not enough, your ticket also allows you to come back for free within two years of your first visit. All you have to do is get the pass that proves you've been there when you leave the park and you're good to come back.

If you do come back within two years and bring someone who hasn't been to the park yet, another two years is added to your pass. I think that's really cool.

Plus, if you know how much effort the organization puts into maintaining and restoring this park, I think the Paronella Park admission fee is definitely worth it.  

Paronella Park accommodation

As I mentioned, you get one night for free at the Paronella Park camping area when you've bought your entry ticket. Motorhomes, caravans, campervans, and tents are all welcome.

We spent a night there and were pleasantly surprised by the facilities. We thought it would just be a patch of land with spots for every RV, but there were clean showers and toilet facilities as well as an outdoor kitchen area.

The campsite is right next to the park as well, although they've now also opened a second site across the street because the first one became so popular. After having done the night tour, we could just walk out of the park onto the campsite. It was great that we didn't have to drive anymore.  

Recently, Paronella Park has also opened its own six cabins for rent. These are available for 98 AUD per night and sleep two people each.

The cabins are equipped with linen, towels, a fridge, a kettle, a television, and air conditioning.  

If you're not traveling in an RV, you can still stay nearby. Practically across the road from Paronella Park, lies the Mena Creek Hotel, which also has a relaxed country-style pub. All rooms have air conditioning while bathroom facilities are shared.

How to get to Paronella Park

You can easily drive to Paronella Park. The roads in north Queensland aren't busy and there's a parking lot right by the park.

From Cairns to Paronella park, it takes about 1 hour 30 minutes by car. From Townsville to Paronella Park, it takes about 3 hours.  

Next, you'll visit the MaMu Tropical Skywalk, which offers insight into the region and its original inhabitants as well as amazing view from a 37m-high watchtower.

Lastly, you'll be able to explore Paronella Park and join one of their famous night-time tours, seeing several of its iconic buildings lit up. You'll end the day with a lovely dinner just across the road from the park before being taken back from Paronella Park to Cairns.

No matter how well you plan your trip to Australia, there's always something that can happen that's beyond your control. A reservation gets canceled, your luggage gets lost or you drop and break that new action camera. In all of these cases, good travel insurance has you covered.

I've had ongoing travel insurance ever since I started traveling to make sure I'm covered for every trip I go on but if you travel just a few times a year, you can get insured for each trip separately too.

Don't have travel insurance yet? Check out SafetyWing. They offer super flexible plans that you can even sign up for while you're already on your trip. On top of that, they were the first travel insurance to cover COVID, and when I got COVID, they reimbursed all of my expenses without making a fuss. Their customer support team is great and I can personally recommend them.
