The Ginger Factory

The Ginger Factory, located in Yandina, stands as one of the Sunshine Coast’s most enduring and beloved tourist attractions. Its origins date back to 1941 when the Buderim Ginger Growers Cooperative was established to support local farmers. Over the decades, it has transformed from a humble processing plant into a multi-faceted destination. Visitors can explore the journey of ginger from the farm to the shelf through the informative Factory Tour or enjoy a tasting of the world-famous Buderim Ginger range. The site features the historic Moreton train, a 120-year-old cane train that takes guests through beautiful subtropical gardens. Children often enjoy the Overboard boat ride, a whimsical journey following the Gingerbread Man. With an on-site cafe serving ginger-infused delicacies, a dedicated ice creamery, and a live bee show that explores the fascinating world of honey production, The Ginger Factory offers a comprehensive look at the region’s agricultural heritage while providing a delightful day out for families and food enthusiasts alike.
