Around 300m of the walk is on canopy bridges, with the rest on forest trails. It finishes at a 40m cantilever bridge standing 30m over the creek. The whole walk is described as suitable for all ages.
Before heading out, the Eco Gallery has wildlife displays, butterfly and insect collections and a freshwater aquarium. It sets up the walk nicely for kids.
You pass rock pools, a butterfly lookout, a local history display and sheltered spots to sit. The Birdwing Cafe on site does coffee, tea, cold drinks and light snacks for afterwards.
Children 17 and under must be with an adult, and under 6s get in free with one. Companion Cards are accepted, and there are accessible toilets on site.
