It contains two primary schools: Ferny Hills State School, which opened in 1970 and is among the first Queensland primary schools to be built in the more traditional high-set format, and Patricks Road State High School, which opened in 1977. A high school is also located just beyond its borders in Ferny Grove. There are also convenience centres located on Ferny Way on the southern end of the suburb. Until 2006, a notable feature of Ferny Hills was the Australian Woolshed, which was an Australian-farming and wildlife attraction featuring shows and animal exhibits. This has since been demolished and a residential development will be built on the site to meet the needs of Brisbane's growing population.
