Why visit 480 Queen?

As amazing as a visit to inner city Brisbane can be, it is often a stressful experience for families. You’re constantly at the mercy of crowds and it can be quite hot and uncomfortable for small kids. Children need SPACE to roam and stretch their legs.

480 Queen’s offering of The Parkland for use by families visiting Brisbane CBD is a great innovation. Spectacular views are enhanced by first-class facilities and space to move! It’s a chance to wind down, relax and recuperate before heading back into the crush.
