Crystal Castle & Shambhala Gardens

The gardens are absolutely stunning and meticulously cared for. They boast charming statues and massive crystals, a rare sight. It’s incredibly peaceful and serene, with a wonderful café to enjoy. However, being all outdoors, it can get quite hot, especially by the time of departure. The sound bowl session was a highlight, though it’s worth noting that the experience is best suited for ages 10 and up, as there isn’t much specifically for younger children to do.

Excellent couple of hours tour.
You will have a fantastic time rather your are interested in crystal and spirituality or not.
The garden is breath taking, the amount of tropical trees and flowers is unbelievable.

I personally really appreciate the sound healing session in the dome.

Great for family as well

Absolutely beautiful gardens, very well maintained. Lovely statues and huge crystals which I have never seen anywhere else. Very tranquil and calming. Great cafe! It is all outdoors so was very hot by the time I left. The sound bowl session was really great. Best suited to 10+ not a lot for younger children to do

I travelled from Sydney for a wonderful day at the Crystal Castle. Just when I thought I had seen all of the sections I would stumble across something extra. So peaceful. Staff were friendly. Particularly loved the sound healing and the meditation sessions. Food was delicious.

I am so beyond grateful that I could experience this incredibly powerful energy built place with my man. I have never felt more grounded. Such beautiful crystals. So much energy. I even got to experience a sound healing session in their Peace dome. If you are a spiritual person I can not recommend this place highly enough 💗🌻🦋

Stunning place, we love the atmosphere of the gardens.
This time left the kids at home and did both the guided meditation and relaxation with the crystal bowls, both free daily inside the dome. The food is so fresh and tasty, best salads. Fresh watermelon and mint juice is a favourite. Lots of new crystals about ✨🪻🫶

Exceptional & sensational experience at this wonderful magical Crystal Palace. Friendly staff, great guide book incorporates a well documented trail map. Lots of shaded well set put parking.easy access. A well set up cafe inside. Very good quality food & menu selection. Such a serene & outstanding experience.. We will definitely spend another day here. Very well priced or should I say this is value for money.

Beautiful place, with lots to explore. Peaceful atmosphere. included free sound bath, Cafe was nice, staff very friendly. It wasn't too busy despite being peak season. Recommended going.

I’ve been wanting to visit the crystal castle for years and it was worth the wait. We went on a Tuesday morning so there wasn’t very many people, but I can see it getting very busy on the weekends. It was so peaceful walking through the gardens and the crystals were nothing like I’ve ever seen before. At 12pm & 3pm they have sound baths and it was an amazing experience. Definitely a must do for fellow spiritual crystal enthusiasts. I can’t wait to return!

Good views and nice walks. Just be careful of leaches in rainy season. You may get leach bites in rainforest walk but it's not that harmful and may require bandage tape . It is nice place to spend a day. There are lots of spots where you can click photos with beautiful backgrounds.

Visiting Crystal Castle was a mesmerizing experience that transported me to a world of tranquility and beauty. The lush gardens created a serene backdrop for the stunning crystal displays, each piece seemingly infused with its own unique energy. The spiritual atmosphere was palpable, offering a peaceful escape from the hustle of everyday life. Exploring the enchanting pathways and meditative spaces provided a sense of calm, making Crystal Castle a must-visit for anyone seeking a harmonious blend of nature and spirituality.

Beautifully landscaped garden set out with walking paths between treasures. The plants are amazing, and we just seemed to be there at the right time when many of them were flowering. The crystals are incredible, and the peaceful setting is so rejuvenating. There's a shop, a cafe and plenty to see. Well maintained, I highly recommend a visit.

A great place to connect with your inner self. I'm not completely "into" crystals and stuff, but the time I spent was highly enjoyable. Great for my daughter (9yrs). She even sat still for 20mins for the sound bath 😂. Beautiful gardens, views and photo opportunities along with some very impressive crystals. Expect only vegetarian options out of the cafe, but some very tasty treats. If you are "into" crystals and stuff this has to be on your list to visit. Great place.

Amazing place! Before I arrived there, I didn't have big expectations, but this place is fantastic!
It has a shop with everything for everyone. Beautiful crystals, friendly people and an exotic food court.
Highly recommended.

Absolutely wonderful day out! The cafe has delicious food with a beautiful view of the valley. The sound baths and meditations were unique bonus which made the whole experience!

Amazing experience, wow. I've never seen crystals that big. As soon as you walk in, the atmosphere is amazing and incredibly peaceful. Wonderful music and the most beautiful walks through lush vegetation. People who have trouble meditating should just find a location and begin. It's likely that you will end up meditating for longer periods of time without any interruptions because the atmosphere is peaceful. When you gaze at crystals, pose for a photo or touch crystals that has been placed, healing magic occurs automatically. We left this place feeling incredibly happy.

This place is beautiful, inspiring and fascinating. Wow, wish I'd gone sooner.

I recommend watching the video on the website beforehand. It provides insights and history which enhanced our visit and allowed us to appreciate everything even more.

Thinking I was going to a venue focusing only on crystals, I was in awe of the strong connections to Buddhism and Hinduism, such as the magnificent Buddha in the pond and lotus mosaic, the Tibetan stupa and more.

And the crystals truly are fantastic. There's lots, they're beautiful and amazing and really, really old, lol.

Big compliments to the team and management running the castle. Everywhere was meticulously taken care of - clean, attractive, user friendly and appealing.

We indulged in the sound healing twice and enjoyed a healthy lunch in the Cafe, good portions too.

We'll definitely be back and worth a day trip from Brisbane.

Excellent place to see all these crystals. The entrance is not cheap, but it's worth. You should calculate at least two hours for a visit. We can recommend this place.

Brilliant day out for young and old. Super serene, wonderful smells and nature, incredible crystals and statues. The cafe is also awesome. Highly recommend. We have been twice now!

Absolutely loved our visit here! Despite it being a rainy day when we visited, there were plenty of umbrellas for rain or shine! And it certainly didn't disappoint. The crystals are such a size that they must be seen to be believed! The sound bath and meditation helped add to the ambience of the day. And the gardens were tranquil and beautiful. We spent the whole day here and still felt we needed more time to wander and explore. The gift shop is especially tempting if you love crystals, books, and tarot. It has lots of goodies for all price ranges. I highly recommend a visit and can't wait to go next time I'm in Australia!
