Looking for a winter getaway? Brisbane City is the perfect place to take the family!
When the winter chill sets in the beaches of the great South East become an icy exclusion zone for holiday makers. So why not take the family and enjoy a city escape minus the crowds (and the peak holiday season tariffs)?
Brisbane holds a treasure trove of things to do, see and eat, places to stay and offers activities for the whole family!
Winter in Brisbane
Firstly, let’s talk about the weather. Brisbane’s subtropical climate offers a dry and mild winter weather compared to summer’s hot and sweaty days dotted with unpredictable storms and torrential downpours. This means your family has more opportunity to enjoy time outdoors without constantly reaching for the bug spray! The natural beauty of Queensland’s national parks are arguably at their peak in the middle of the year – despite the ‘winter’ label. You’ll also rarely see the overnight temperature in Brisbane drop below 10 degrees in the winter months – so whether you’re camping, caravanning, staying in a hotel, motel or resort, your comfort level won’t be too far removed from summer months.
To make your planning easier, we have pulled together a list of must-dos for the kids!
There are so many great kid friendly things to do in Brisbane including: bowling, ice skating and
Sky Zone trampolining.
The Museum of Brisbane,
Queensland Museum,
Sciencentre and

Brisbane also offers a number of exciting markets. Located at South Bank, Riverside, Fortitude Valley, New Farm Park and West End – there are plenty of activities to keep the kids entertained and you might be able to pick up some local treasures as well.
