Best Things to Do in Brisbane with Kids: Family-Friendly Activities

Brisbane is genuinely family-friendly, with a mix of free and ticketed activities spread across the city and its surrounds. South Bank's Streets Beach and parklands are a perennial favourite, while the Queensland Museum, Sciencecentre and Gallery of Modern Art offer engaging free or low-cost experiences. The Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Fig Tree Pocket is the world's oldest and largest koala sanctuary. Roma Street Parkland, New Farm Park and Kangaroo Point Cliffs provide open space for running around at no cost.
