Types of family activities for all ages  

Activities and days out are a great way to bring the whole family together. We have a range of activities to suit all ages from toddlers to grandparents. 

Jump on a Big Bus Tour and explore Melbourne’s or Sydney’s best sights or spend a day out on the water and watch for whales or dolphins. There are also koalas and other native Australian wildlife to meet at the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane or Sydney's Taronga Zoo. 

For something more cultural, you can visit an art gallery or museum and immerse yourself in the newest exhibitions. 

Family activities with teenagers  

If you’re a family with older kids or teenagers who are constantly buzzing with energy, then our adrenaline-fuelled activities are a great way to let off steam. Spend a day at a water park or Gold Coast theme park, go jet boating in Sydney harbour or enjoy a Segway tour in Rottnest Island.
