The Big Pineapple

The return of the icon. The Big Pineapple is a national tourism and food icon based on Queensland s Sunshine Coast. Featuring a 16-metre fibreglass pineapple structure, historically the Big Pineapple drew over a million visits a year, being the most popular tourist attraction in Australia. The Big Pineapple site is currently undergoing renewal and transformation, guided by a whole site master plan across the 170ha landholding. The large scale of the property provides great potential to host new attractions and again become a highly popular destination. In addition to the iconic Big Pineapple structure, visitor centre and train, today the site is home to a popular zoo, the TreeTop Challenge high ropes and zipline course, in addition to a sell-out events program. With an expanding array of animals at Wildlife HQ and events such as our craft beer and cider expo, there are many reasons to re-discover the new Big Pineapple experience.
