Brisbane Opal Museum
The Brisbane Opal Museum is a world-class cultural institution just a short 15 minute walk away. It was awarded a Traveller’s Choice Award in 2020, and it’s not hard to see why. You can learn about opals, including how they are formed and mined, and chat to the knowledgeable staff as you browse the displays.
The museum has a theatre, a lapidary room, a library, opal jewellery, and a souvenir store where you can pick out the perfect gift, or even treat yourself. It’s a fascinating spot to expand your knowledge, marvel at the beauty of Australian opals, and see how they are transformed into the spectacular polished pieces on display.
There’s the option of a self-guided tour with audio and a tablet to help you navigate the museum. You can also book a guided tour, which lasts 30-45 minutes and runs once a day. For serious opal enthusiasts, you can also book a Gold Class private tour, where you can experience for yourself cutting and polishing a jewellery grade opal behind the lapidary wheel, and take home your piece to keep.

Evilcorp Haunted Attractions Australia
For a spine tingling experience in Fortitude Valley visit Brisbane's most popular haunted attraction, the Evilcorp walk through horror maze. Only the bravest of brave should consider heading underground, armed only with a torch to navigate through the darkness to escape the maze. You’ll be truly horrified at the terrifying creatures lurking below.
If you manage to get out alive, you can bring your heart rate down again with a drink or two at the bar and order a few light snacks. They say that laughter is the best medicine, so if you need a little extra help recovering from your fright, simply sit back and enjoy being entertained by the hilarious improv actors on-site. Evilcorp haunted maze is open on weekends, and you can get more information or make a booking here.
Clock Tower
Brisbane's City Hall building is heritage-listed and rich in history. A guided tour of Brisbane's renowned Clock Tower is an option that you might enjoy. Here you will discover the city hall's hidden mysteries. While learning about the past, you can also take in the breathtaking 360-degree panorama of the city.
