Kid-friendly Things-To-Do in Gold Coast

Tourism Australia has ‘spied’ some of the best kid-friendly pit stops and activities for families to ‘spy’ on their next city trip.

I spy something fluffy

Settle down for lunch at Mountview Alpaca Farm for an alpaca picnic with some of the alpacas training as therapy animals to visit local hospitals and aged care facilities. With the farm located on a vineyard parents will be able to kick back and relax while their kids play with their new furry friends.

I spy something old-school

End the day with a trip down memory lane at Yatala Drive-In. Pile the family into the car to watch a family-favourite film and enjoy hot food and movie munchies from the 50’s-inspired diner.

The residential area known as Emerald Lakes comprises of apartments and villages along the banks of Clear Island lake, a series of waterways near the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. The colourful buildings of the Porto Bellago village resemble an Italian style port and is home to many retired Australians with a passion for all things European.

I spy a home of arts

Home of the Arts is a contemporary cultural precinct where art meets life from live performances, stargazing, and cinema-watching. HOTA’s have a new children’s gallery that will be opening in early 2021.

I spy a trail

Enjoy a gentle 1.6 kilometre hike to swim at Cougal Cascades in Springbrook National Park. The hike is sealed and suitable to do with a pram, but kids will need to be competent swimmers and be supervised in and around the water. Further along the trail is a creek that may be more suitable for younger children. Along the trail visitors will pass a disused sawmill from the 1940’s so make sure the kids keep an eye out.

I spy mind bending illusions

Bend kids minds at INFINITY, the Gold Coast’s futuristic maze world. The 30 minute journey through INFINITY takes explorers through 20 extraordinary multi-sensual environments filled with atmospheric sounds, special effects and illusions. Visitors can walk through the experience at their own pace, but it is only suitable for kids over the age of 8.

I spy a wave to catch

Teach kids a new skill at Currumbin Beach’s Currumbin Alley Surf School. After a morning at the beach take curious conservationists-to-be to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary’s Animal Wildlife Hospital.
