Outdoors or indoors, these are our top recommendations for keeping the kids busy these winter school holidays.
If you're thinking of taking a day trip, we've also picked the top spots worthy of a visit that aren't far from Brisbane.
Meet native animals, hand feed kangaroos and watch live shows on a day out at the zoo, farm or marine park.
Kids with a sense of adventure (and no fear of heights) will love seeing a bird's-eye view of Brisbane with a Story Bridge Climb. Finish the day with an afternoon climb or watch the stars come to life above with a night climb.
Looking for a new way to see Brisbane? Add abseiling down Kangaroo Point. It's a 20-metre-high cliff overlooking Brisbane and Brisbane River. If they've mastered that challenge, up the ante with an abseil in a nearby national park.
Keen to see Brisbane from the best vantage point? Look no further than a hot air balloon ride or helicopter in the early hours of the morning. This one's best for older kids.
Ever wondered what it feels like to fly a plane? Jump into the pilot's seat and choose from thousands of airports for their flight simulator adventure.
For a unique way to get your kids outdoors during the school holidays, make your way around Brisbane by segway. Choose your route and difficulty level for gliding and spinning around the best scenic spots.
Spend the day on the water relaxing as the rest of Brisbane floats by. The kids will adore the adventure and being able to spot the city's icons from their unique vantage point on the water.
Take a break from Netflix and set up a space in your home for your kids to delve into a creative project.
Kids love hands-on activities and cooking is not only fun, it teaches them a new skill and gives them an edible treat at the end of it.
Artistic expression can come in many forms, from learning circus tricks to creating artworks and collages.
Unleash the artists within with a paint class that can teach them all the basics of creating a masterpiece. There are stacks of classes geared towards children – some you can even livestream at home. Stroke of genius, right?
Little one can't stop singing "Let It Go" or "We Don't Talk About Bruno"? Make them a star with a singing class where they can learn vocal techniques and sing as a choir.
Set up a camping experience in the backyard these school holidays to enjoy quality family time. Or, invite the kids' friends for a sleepover to build their social skills.
If you want to set up a movie night with the family or if your child is a movie buff, Disney Plus, Netflix and BINGE offer unlimited shows and movies for your children. You can set up parental controls or a kids profile on these services to monitor what they can access.
If you want to explore more of Queensland these school holidays, there are loads of family friendly getaways and epic road trips in Queensland to choose from.
