The last season
WANTED – A Cirque Heist
CHARC Performance pitched a big top on our lawn for 14 shows, from Thursday 24 September to Sunday 4 October 2026. WANTED – A Cirque Heist was an interactive Wild West circus adventure, with outlaws and colourful characters, aerialists, acrobatics, juggling, lasso and whip skills, comedy and fire.
The audience joined the story, searching for clues and helping to uncover the culprit.
Thanks to everyone who came along and helped crack the heist.

Common Questions
The things families ask us most before they visit.
Is entry free, and do I need to book?
Yes, entry and parking are free, and you can walk in any day to meet the animals, wander the riverside and visit the café. A few experiences are booked ahead: horse rides, riverside picnics, birthday parties and group visits. You can see what's bookable here.
What are your opening hours?
We're open seven days a week, with hours that vary by season, and we close only over the Christmas–New Year break. Check today's hours on Google.
Can we bring our own food or picnic?
All food and drinks are served fresh from our riverside café, so we ask that you don't bring your own. If you'd love a picnic, book one with us: a blanket and a hamper packed to take away, and you pick your own spot anywhere on the property. Guests with a confirmed birthday or event booking are welcome to bring their own cake.
Is it good for young children?
Very. Hands-on animal encounters, gentle horse rides, open space to roam and a café by the water make it an easy day out for families with little ones, and baby-changing facilities are on site.
Can we host a birthday, or bring a school or group?
Yes. We host birthday parties for children and grown-ups on weekends, and we run guided school excursions in term and in the holidays, and we welcome organised group visits. Tell us your numbers and the dates you have in mind, and we'll put a day together.
How do we get there, and is there parking?
We're at 950 Beaudesert Nerang Rd, Mount Nathan, about 30 minutes from the Gold Coast and an hour from Brisbane. Parking is free on arrival, and we're coach and school-group friendly.
