 The site is significant being Victoria's "first local example" of a theme park, with many original features (Japanese gardens, railway, chairlift, jungle cruise & picnic areas) still intact today.The chairlift ride was built by Jack Griffiths, originally from Whistlestop Amusement Park in Langwarrin* which closed in 1974.Caribbean Gardens also has a former sugarcane locomotive (1924) from Victoria Mill, Ingham.
