Sydney Harbour
No prizes for guessing, it is the Sydney Harbor that tops the list of ‘must visit’ attractions with your kids while in Australia. This legendary harbor, located in the biggest and busiest city of Australia is a photogenic waterway encompassing the entire city. Plan a ferry ride with your kids and enjoy a variety of fun-filled activities, such as, take selfies with the Sydney Opera House in the background, enjoy picnic at Cockatoo Island or Fort Denison, take a surfing lesson at Manly Beach or visit the Australian Maritime Museum by disembarking at the Darling Harbor. Darling Harbor is also host to other attractive sites like Darling Quarter Playground, Sydney Wild Life Zoo and Sydney Sea Life Aquarium.
Gold Coast Theme Parks, Queensland
Kids would just love the Gold Coast theme parks, which are basically five in Queensland. These humongous parks include the Movie World, Dreamworld, WhiteWater World, Sea World and Wet’n’Wild. Moreover, the Gold Coast Beach will also prove to be a fun for kids since they can enjoy surf lessons, jet-skiing, whale watching, sea-kayaking and numerous other exciting water sports.
Kangaroo Island, Adelaide
Being in Australia and not meeting the Kangaroos would be so unfortunate. A trip to the Kangaroo Island situated at the southern side of Adelaide is mandatory. Just hop on a ferry and visit the South Australia’s favorite weekend spot. Kids would love the grumpy residents of the Seal Bay Conservation Park and the aptly titled Remarkable Rocks in Flinders Chase National Park. Kids-centric activities include sand boarding, beach surfing, fishing jetties, honey farms, pelican-feeding session, wildlife parks and caves and Kingscote’s famous fish and chips.
Wonderland Fun Park, Melbourne
The Wonderland Fun Park is again a ‘must visit’ place when you are in Melbourne, the heart of Australia. The park is situated at the base of the Melbourne Star and happens to be an amazing amusement attraction perfect for young children. From toddlers to adolescents, there are plenty of rides for every age group.
Miniature Railways, Melbourne
We know that kids love miniature theme parks and this is why the Miniature Railways has made it on our list. The Altona Miniature Railways, Melbourne, is such a fun place to be with your kids. On specific days of week, families can take a ride on the inspiring miniature trains at extremely low rates. This is also an ideal place for enjoying a family picnic lunch. You may reach here via public transport or drive yourself because ample car parking space is available.
Every city boasts of an unending range of activities that the entire family can enjoy. This is just a glimpse of how attractive a place Australia is for kids. Visit Australia now because after all ‘seeing is believing’.
