South Bank Parklands

The inner city oasis of South Bank excels in amusing and entertaining children.

Spectacular exhibitions capture the imagination of young minds at the Queensland Museum, the Sciencentre and the Art Gallery. Young hands can get creative in special workshops at Hands on Art and classes at Illustration House.

South Bank also boasts loads of open spaces to run, skate and cycle in and features three playgrounds to slide, swing and climb on.

For water babies, the fabulous Streets Beach has safe paddling areas for younger children and deeper swimming holes for splashing fun, all watched over by experienced lifeguards.

There are numerous events and festivals at various times during the year, and during school holidays the pace really heats up with fun and free activities that focus on interaction and education. Enjoy the free movie fun planned during school holidays and get into the spirit of the season at Christmas, New Year's Eve and Australia Day fireworks.
