Canberra

Often touted as Australia's most kid-friendly capital, Canberra offers kids an extraordinary range of fun-filled activities – from patting a cheetah at the National Zoo & Aquarium to stargazing at the Mount Stromlo Observatory, indoor ice skating at the Phillip Ice Skating Centre to riding a Segway along Lake Burley Griffin, enjoying the views at Mount Ainslie Lookout to playing on the Pod Playground at the National Arboretum Canberra. Then, there’s the fun and educational experiences to be had at Questacon, the inspiring tours at the Australian Institute of Sport, the adrenaline-pumping action at Power Kart Raceway, the otherworldly magic of Cockington Green and the humbling history to be discovered at the Australian War Memorial. On top of these diverse attractions, there are countless family-friendly dining and shopping options. See… we told you it was family fun, fun, fun in the ACT!
