Where to Find the Best Family Attractions in Australia

If you’re planning to spend some quality time with your loved ones, why not go to see some of the best family attractions in Australia? The Land Down Under is a great place to go when you’re travelling with kids. You get to enjoy the great outdoors and discover fabulous vistas and exotic wildlife.

At the same time, you will be within reach of every modern convenience. You won’t even have to worry about exotic diseases, language barriers, or huge cultural differences. Here is a brief list of some great family attractions in Australia.

One of the most wonderful things about a vacation in Australia is getting the opportunity to witness nature at its finest.

See the Great Barrier Reef and marvel at its size and beauty. You’ll have to spend a bit to see this one, but it’s ideal especially if you’ve got teenagers or older children who can snorkel or scuba dive – after all, to get the most out of your trip to the reef, you’ll have to see all the gorgeous ocean life beneath the waves.

Bondi Beach is always a favourite with those who enjoy family beach vacations.

It’s the best-known beach in Australia, and it’s got a bit of something for everyone in the family.

You and your spouse can enjoy some good food at a sunny outdoor cafe and amuse yourself trying to spot celebrities, while the kids can go to the Marine Discovery centre or sample the gelato or fish and chips. Of course, everyone gets to swim in the ocean or in the Bondi Icebergs surf pool.

This attraction located in Queensland, The Rainforest Habitat, allows you to get up close and personal with plants and animals. You can enjoy Breakfast with the Birds, where your morning meal is accompanied by the sight of hundreds of exotic avian friends who will join you at the table.

Small children will love the chance to feed birds and see unique animals like cassowaries, wombats, koala bears, and of course, kangaroos.

If you’ve got school-age children, take this opportunity to give them a bit of perspective about the world they live in. Old Melbourne Gaol shows visitors a more sinister side to life in a country that was once a penal colony.

Children mature enough to appreciate a bit of history – and a bit of the macabre – will be fascinated by the stories of famous prisoners and the cells turned into exhibits of the prisoners’ lives.

Located in Perth, Rockingham Wild Encounters is one of the more unique family attractions in Australia. It offers a special range of eco-tours that let you swim with wild bottlenose dolphins, meet penguins at Penguin Island, or take a cruise on a glass-bottom boat to see the sea lions.

These are only a few things your family can see and do in Australia that ought to make your holiday truly an experience to remember.
