Logan City:
Things to do            

19 JANUARY 2023

You may be familiar with Logan City for its abundance of markets or its food-oriented communities, but perhaps it’s time you learnt about the other happenings that abound in this buzzing hive of activity. From First Nations theatre experiences to kayaking and koala viewing, allow us to show you what to do in Logan right now.

First-time trippers to Logan may not realise that this region is filled with waterways that allow go-getter travellers to paddle, by kayak or canoe through naturally diverse areas. The Logan and Albert rivers are ideal for following canoe trails and getting up-close with local wildlife.

Another way to get to know local wildlife in Logan is to visit the sprawling Daisy Hill Koala Centre. Take a picnic, have a barbecue on site and wander the grounds before heading to the koala centre where you’ll spy these sleepy guys huddled into gumtrees for their lengthy naps, or chowing down on gum leaves. 

And, for a further deep dive into the natural splendour of Logan City, Springwood Conservation Park presents a superb spot for nature walks, bird watching and a breath of fresh air.

Continuing along the nature-lovers’ path, The Shark and Ray Gardens of Logan offers would-be marine scientists (also known as the public), the chance to meet and play with sharks and rays. Here, you can wade in the water with the animals or sit on the side and say hey to the sharks and rays.

History lovers can take a walk down heritage lane at the Beenleigh Historical Village and Museum. This living museum allows visitors to wander through its collection of heritage buildings, including its old schoolhouse, general store and more. There’s also a print museum for devotees of the written word to explore.

If you’re looking to immerse yourself in culture, check out the Chung Tian Temple. With splendid and traditional Chinese Palance architecture, unique art and artifacts, this temple is a cultural lover’s dream! Join a meditation class or book in for a tour – inner peace may find you. 

Changing the pace but not the neighbourhood, Beenleigh’s BMX and Skate Park is not your average suburban skating spot. In fact, this large-scale multi-million-dollar urban course attracts avid riders and serious skaters from near and far.  

If the idea of hitting that proverbial wide-open road, wind in your hair (or on your helmet) on the seat of a motorbike has been on your bucket list, it’s time you met EagleRider. A Harley-Davidson hire company that offers guided and self-guided trips, EagleRider might just make your Marlon Brando dreams come true. 

For more fast-paced sporting of a different stripe, Big Swing Golf Underwood is one part bar, one part entertainment hub. Here, golf stimulators (and a choice of other sports and arcade-style games) make for a fun – and fast – experience. 

Kids both big and small can get in on the action at Kingston Park Raceway, with three separate racetracks to choose from. Littlies can get involved in the Rookie Karts as well, so no one is left out. Hit the gas!
