Reviews
The tropical vegetation, family facilities and open grassy space of Queens Park can be reached on foot from the CBD.
There you’ll discover the Ken Burgess Display House, built in 1988 to show off an astounding collection of orchids in a naturalistic setting, viewed on circular walkways.
Reopened in 2020 after a renovation, this is one of the largest attractions of its kind in Australia and has such a wealth of orchids that you could easily spend a couple of hours identifying them.
For the most part these often bizarre flowers are rock and tree orchids, but there are some growing in the ground in beds.
Great selection and the staff are always friendly and knowledgeable.
Closed without information to say so
Tucked away inside the octagonal building at the centre of the park, this place is a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of Mackay.
It's open at odd times, so check before you plan to visit.
Inside you'll find a large collection of orchids and bonsai trees layed out with easy labels and descriptions.
Note that we understand that the house is going to be renovated and the collection moved to the Botanical Gardens, so check.

Beautiful orchids, well kept garden, will definately come back again.
