Lego Workshops and Lego Birthday Partys for kids

Last school holidays my eldest son did a Lego Workshop at the Lego Education Centre in South Brisbane and it was great. He got to build huge lego masterpieces and challenge his lego building abilities! I have just discovered that the Lego Education Centre does not only run school holiday programs but also has great things happening all year around.

The Cottages Mount Tamborine – Review

We recently spent a weekend ‘kid free’ at Mount Tamborine, the term “it was just what we needed” doesn’t do the place justice. We had a fantastic and relaxing weekend there. We have spent quite a few weekends exploring Mount Tamborine, what we love about it is it is so close to Brisbane or the Gold Coast but you feel like you are miles away as it is so relaxing. It has a great community feel to it and the people really take the time to talk to you and make you feel welcome.

Warrnambool, VIC with kids – review

Warrnambool offers a relaxing break out of Melbourne with all the advantages of a large country town combined with the attractions of the beach. We drove the 3.5 hour trip along the A1 with Michael, 11, for an inexpensive and refreshing five night trip during the July school holidays.

Feathers and furs at Featherdale Wildlife Park – Review

Featherdale Wildlife Park is a great, low-key Australian animal park located in Sydney’s west. It’s surprising to find out that many Sydneysiders don’t even know about it while others haven’t been since their school days.

Kids and Campervan Hire – Port Stephens Review

Are you one of those couples that used to camp before the kids came along, but now it seems too hard? It seems like you would need to take everything but the kitchen sink and take a day to pack. That’s not really the perfect holiday is it? A solution that is being discovered more and more by young families is campervan hire or motorhome hire. Being able to take the kids into the outdoors and teaching them about the wildlife is something we’ve always wanted to do for our children.

Family Holidays to London – review

For many Australians heading to Europe, London is their first port of call, and for first time travellers and particularly those with children, it’s a great place to start. The United Kingdom allows you to ‘ease into’ a European holiday as there are no language barriers and the English drive on the same side of the road to us, so the transition from life as they know it back in Australia isn’t too difficult for most kids. Add in the fact that your kids will already be familiar with lots of London’s major attractions and it makes for a perfect place to begin your European adventure.

Gold Coast theme parks with a toddler – Review

I usually jump at the chance of going away for the weekend and while my impending weekend to the Gold Coast was no exception, it did require a little bit more organisation than normal. That’s because I agreed to go away with a close friend of mine and her two and a half year old daughter, Phoebe.

Disneyland Resort Paris – Review

Disneyland in the USA has always been a popular holiday destination for Australian families with both kids and adults alike happy to spend a day or two in their own ‘Fantasyland’ but since 1992 the Disneyland name has also become synonymous with Paris.

Katoomba for Kids – Review

A weekend holiday with kids might seem like an impossible idea but Sydney has an incredible array of things to see and do, just a few hours’ drive away. One of the most popular is the Blue Mountains – just an hour and a half from the hustle and bustle of Sydney’s CBD. The Mountains are a fantastic place to discover our colonial heritage in the art galleries and antique shops that populate the mountain towns.

Hamilton Island with kids – Review

We have just spent 5 nights at Hamilton Island in the Whitsunday Islands in the June/July holidays. We went with our two kids, Oliver, 6 and Harry,4. It was a perfect and easy spot with little ones and for us. Even though it was winter, it was still warm enough to swim and play on the beach. There is a kids club, relaxation centre (massages etc), off island adventures etc – something for everyone. The kids ate free which was a bonus as well.
