Reviews of Kangaroo Point View
Chris Ju
A must-visit spot in Brisbane at night — truly a stunning place. You can even have a picnic there, and there are stairs leading down from the top of the cliff.
Laro
Really nice spot to see and watch the skyline, especially at sunset. The views are just immaculate. Can attract a crowd, so I'd recommend getting there with time to spare in order to get the best spot.
Mari-Liis Alviste
Yeah nice view!
Hung Dinh Le
Lovely place!
Diana Waines
Top spot for a top view of Brisbane! Usually get a lot of tourists taking the star shot of the Cityscape here close to the rotunda at top of the cliffs. Theres plenty of picnic spots & barbecues above & below the cliffs. Can get very busy in the evenings & difficult to park
