Great place to go if you want to sit down for a snack, gelati, coffee or indeed a meal & enjoy the magnificent Brisbane City views from the top of the "hill". Very popular with tourists.

Have always enjoyed going to see a show here - go multiple times a year. Bar and theatre fantastic! Wonderful public transport access (bus, train and ferry!) Recovered well after floods

The Lyric Theatre at QPAC is a place I frequent several times a year. The recent face-lift was well overdue and did bring the theatre back to an excellent venue to watch live theatre. Viewing and sound problems do not exist. Seating is good and relatively comfortable with easy access to all areas, well supported by suffiicient staff to guide... More

Have lost count of the number of times we have been to QPAC to see either ballets or musicals. Our favourites have been The Nutcracker and Annie. We live two and a half hours south of Brisbane (nthn. NSW) and always enjoy coming up for the shows.

Just took my daughter who's 10 to see Annie at QPAC. Had a great time. Popped to Southbank and had some lunch before watching the Theatre. QPAC also provide cushions for the kids to sit on so they can see. A great touch.
