Queensland is home to many amazing places waiting for you to be discovered, but most people start their journey from its capital of Brisbane. This Australian city won’t leave you disappointed if you’re exploring it with your entire family because it’s home to several amazing kid-friendly spots.
Sea World
Not to be confused with the American marine theme parks chain of the same name, Brisbane’s Sea World is unique in its own right. It’s committed to promoting conservation and rehabilitation of sick animals, and you can find everything from fun water rides to animal exhibits on its grounds.
Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary
Another amazing attraction for animal lovers visiting Brisbane, this place opened its doors in 1927 and it’s the world’s oldest and largest koala sanctuary. Koalas aren’t the only Australian native animals you’ll see roaming its grounds, since it also happens to be home to kangaroos, Tasmanian devils, wombats, and many other species.
Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium
If your kids are huge fans of science-themed museums with interactive exhibits, you shouldn’t miss Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium. After checking out its educational shows and exhibits, head to its observatory, which is equally popular with visitors of all ages.
