What To Do On Your Brisbane Family Holida

The family is off to another trip, and the land down under is the next vacation target. Australia is a huge country to explore so it would be best to start with Brisbane. There are so many things that the family can do in Brisbane. You can ride, swim, sail and fly. Brisbane has all the activities you are looking for. So what are the best things to do on your Brisbane family holiday? Here are activities that the whole family can enjoy:

Table of Contents

Diving at The Aarhus

The Aarhus is found in the northern part of Moreton Island. If the family is looking for a diving adventure, this is the place to be. An iron barque sank here in 1894, and it carried cargoes of glassware, alarm clocks and many more. Enjoy exploring the sunken barque as well as the beautiful corals beneath the seas.

Adventure in Moreton Island

Aside from diving, Adventure Moreton Island offers day and overnight activity packages to travellers. Just 20 minutes from the airport, the family can already get a head start on the great activities in Brisbane.

Climb Mountains

Hiking is a fun activity for the family. Nature lovers will get to enjoy climbing for hours in Mount Coot-tha or Mount Tamborine. Mt. Coot-tha offers breathtaking views of the city and the family will definitely feel the rewards of their effort when reaching the lookout.

Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary

One of the things that children really love to do is see animals and get closer to them. In Australia, koalas and kangaroos are famous. Visiting Brisbane should always include an activity where the family can see these animals up close. In the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, you will have the chance to touch the koalas and feed the kangaroos.

Theme Parks

Just a 30-minute drive from Brisbane City lies the Gold Coast. The Gold Coast is home to the best theme parks in Australia namely the Movie World, Wet N’ Wild, Dreamworld and Sea World. These theme parks are great for families as the kids will enjoy seeing their favourite characters and riding the thrilling theme park rides.

Stopped there for 3 weeks. Good location, nice internal facilities. Rooms were not cleaned well enough. Dust here and there, plus found an old razor in the bathroom. however I would put 3.5 stars for overall experience which wasn't bad. My major concern is safety and security of the apartments. My car was broken into at night on secure underground parking. Car's door was broken and my personal belongings were stolen. Management told me they are not responsible for the damage and loss because of the signs they put on parking walls. This accident put my rating down to 1 star.If you have a car I would recommend to park it underground despite the secure gates installed.

Bridgewater terraces is the perfect place to stay for business or leisure. It is conveniently located within reach of Southbank, the CBD, local hospitals and convention centres ect. I stayed at the apartment for over 2 months and thoroughly enjoyed my time. I found the complex to be perfectly manicured and maintained, quiet and loved the cafe next doors. The river view is also very relaxing. The location is perfect for children and my kids loved walking through the gardens, splashing in the pool and walking to the nearby park and playground. Ray and Dennis in management were very helpful, attentive, compassionate and a pleasure to deal with.

Booked to stay at Bridgewater Terraces and looked forward to our visit. The views of the river are magnificent and this was the main, and as it turned out, the ONLY attraction.Initially the room looked OK until we discovered that it appeared NOT to have been cleaned! The old cooker was filthy and had to be scrubbed before we could use it. None of the cutlery or dishes were from same sets. The windows may have been wiped, but with a greasy rag. Having completed our own clean we sat down on a badly worn, sagging sofa which had stains and grease marks all over it. If that wasn't bad enough, the shower screen came off its rusty rails and there were many loose surrounding tiles. When the tumbler drier gave up, so did we and we checked out!Such a pity, Well manicured gardens and a fantastic location but the apartment interior was old and tattered and from our experience, very little effective management. Just to put the boot in, wifi is NOT free and is horrendously expensive. Stay here at your peril!!

Stayed here with a few guests and booked 3 rooms during February. Reception were only too kind and gave us really good tips on the Brisbane area. Rooms were spacious and quite modern. Everyone in our party enjoyed the stay and would definitely come back.

Stars rounded up because management were friendly. We got a neat well furnished apartment looking over the river. Appliances are modern but the washer and dryer are cheap. The dryer is faulty but useable if you jury-rig it. The bathroom floor drain doesnt have a trap so youre best off covering it to prevent air from venting out. Everything else was nice, the pool is a plus and the location is good.
