The school holidays are here, and if you're scratching your head for ideas on how to keep the little ones entertained, we've got your back! Say goodbye to boredom with our handpicked selection of activities and treats that will have the whole family smiling from ear to ear.
1. All-Day Adventure at Riverside Green Playground
Let the kids run wild at Riverside Green Playground, one of Brisbane's top play spots. With plenty of climbing and exploring to do, they'll be entertained for hours on end. And when hunger strikes, refuel with a quick and casual lunch at Riverside Café & Bar, Cosmos Café, Brooklyn Slice, or Subway. It's the perfect pit stop for a day of family fun!
2. Paint Sesh With The Mini's
This Friday the 12th April, bring the little ones to South Bank for a paint-filled morning at Cork & Chroma. Let your creativity soar as you paint crocs and octopuses! Just bring snacks and drinks – Cork & Chroma will handle the rest for a memorable morning together! Reserve your spot here.
3. All Aboard The Xpress Fun Train
Choo-choo, all aboard! Treat the kids to a ride on the Xpress Fun Train during the school holidays at South Bank. The trackless train will wind its way from one end of the Parklands to the other, a perfect family adventure! Departing from the main station in front of South Bank Piazza, it's an affordable activity that promises heaps of fun. Don't miss out – the Xpress Fun Train is running from 29th March to 26th April, with tickets priced at just $5.
4. Picnic and Play at Sunday Social
Gather the family and head to River Quay Green for Sunday Social! Spread out a picnic rug, soak in the chilled tunes, and enjoy stunning views of the Brisbane River. Pre-order a delicious picnic hamper from The Jetty, River Quay Fish, or grab takeaway bites from your favourite South Bank restaurant.
5. Splash and Snack at Streets Beach
After the kids make a splash at Streets Beach (because we all know kids love swimming all year round!), treat them (and yourself!) to something sweet from Ben & Jerry’s, Happy Pops, or The Great Aussie Sweet Company. Because let's face it, nothing beats ice cream after a day of fun!
