Looking for ways to entertain the kids these school holidays? 

If you’re sick of hearing “I’m bored” or “There’s nothing to do”, never fear, here are a few ideas that may help pass the time. 

Caboolture 

Take a step back in time at the Caboolture Historical Village. With local history displays, vintage cars, farm machinery, a gem club and even a train ride, it’s a fun day out for the whole family.  

For some indoor fun, Flip Out Caboolture is the place to be! More than just trampolines, you’ll find foam pits, parkour, running walls and so much more.  

Morayfield 

Morayfield Shopping Centre often hosts special school holiday events such as craft workshops, character meet-and-greets or interactive shows for kids. Plus they have Limelight Cinemas and iPlay with loads of arcade games.  

If you want to wear the kids out, check out Bounce with trampolines, climbing walls, parkour and a mini-play area for the littlest members of the family.  

Burpengary 

Caboolture Region Environmental Education Centre (CREEC) is a great place to connect with nature and they have amazing playground spaces for everyone. Take a bush walk, have a barbecue or enjoy a picnic.  

Burpengary Regional Aquatic & Leisure Centre has indoor and outdoor pools, a lagoon pool, water features, sun lounges, a café and so much more.  

Elimbah 

White Ridge Farm has a variety of farm animals, from llamas and sheep to chickens and even a donkey. There are tractor rides, mini-golf and picnic areas for a full day of fun on the farm. 

Narangba  

Spread out over a recrafted hill and terraced across four levels, Stone Ridge Park has a mini basketball court, plenty of footpaths for scooters, picnic areas, swings, a climbing frame, sit down flying fox and a big slide! 

Norfolk Lakes Parkland offers plenty of walking paths, playground areas and plenty of birdlife to check out.  

Feeling peckish? Check out the tasty meals on offer at the Narangba Valley Tavern. While you relax with your meal, let the kids run free in the playground or enjoy some fun in the games room.  

Wamuran 

The Wamuran Rail Trail is perfect for a family bike ride or walk. The scenic trail offers beautiful views of the countryside and is suitable for all ages.

Being able to share someone else’s story is a big part of why she became a journalist in the first place. Her biggest passion lies in feature writing, but the diverse nature of the written word has also allowed her to spread her wings and share her writing skills through other avenues including blogging and even tackling some editing as well. When not tapping away at her keyboard (it does happen!), she is usually spending time with her family out and about, building Lego or puzzles, checking out a good show or even a book. She is always on the lookout for her next story adventure.
