The best family experiences in Australia
Family experiences come in all shapes. Kids activities cover the high-energy days out: go karting, flying foxes, animal encounters and cooking classes. Family getaways go further, with overnight stays in unique accommodation, farm weekends and coastal escapes that give everyone space to breathe.
Get outside together
Australia's best family experiences happen outdoors. Farm experiences let kids meet animals, collect eggs, feed alpacas and learn where food comes from. Glamping and camping puts the whole family under the stars without the tent-peg struggle. Tiny homes and cabins take things off-grid in the most comfortable way possible.
Family getaways
Sometimes the whole family just needs to go somewhere. Family getaways on RedBalloon include stays in working farms, coastal retreats, glamping sites and themed accommodations that kids actually get excited about. Most include meals or activities built in, so the planning is done before you even pack the car.
Family experiences as gifts
If birthdays and Christmas are hard to shop for, experience gifts solve the problem neatly. Instead of another toy or voucher that gets forgotten, an experience puts the whole family in the same place doing something they'll actually remember. Gift cards are available in any amount and are valid for 12 months.
What are the best family experiences for younger kids?
For younger children, animal experiences are consistently popular. Farm days let kids feed animals and learn something in the process. Sea Life and zoo experiences are available in most capital cities and suit kids from age 3 upward. Cooking classes designed for kids run in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth from around $90.
What family experiences work for all ages?
Experiences that work across age groups include glamping and camping holidays, farm stays, scenic drives, boat cruises and whale watching tours. These are group experiences where everyone participates at their own level without one age group holding back another.
