Qld holiday ... what do you recommend to do with 3year old there ??

[boobaloo]

sunshine coast
*Underwater world is at mooloolaba
*The ginger factory - buderim
*The Big Pineapple
*Aussie World / Ettamogah Pub - on the highway, just south of sunshine coast
*Obviously, Australia Zoo
*Maleny / Montville - sunshine coast hinterland

Brisbane
*Southbank - incl. museums etc
*Mt cootha botanic gardens and planetarium - we take bread to feed the ducks in the gardens, the kids love it.
*Mt cootha look out - go to the top, there's cafes, great to have an icecream and look around
*boat ride on the river cat in the city

Gold Coast
*i'd choose seaworld over all the others for a 3 yo, sesame street beach is great
*surfers paradise - there's an 'aquaduck' tour which is fun for the kids, you'll find brochures etc all over surfers paradise
*cheap - monorail from the casino around the shops, costs like $2 and the kids love it

that's about all i can think of at the moment, that we've actually done, hope they help!
Have a great trip xoxo

Above are some great ideas! I was going to suggest Aussie World, it's closer to where you will be...great for kids & much cheaper to get into than the others. We are yet to get to the zoo, put that on the list for sure. The beach, free & simple....kids love it. We stayed up there last Christmas & rode to the beach everyday, took up the morning well & then DS had a great arvo nap.
And don't forget about yourselve's, kids don't need a lot of money spent to have a good time.....just a park & change of scenery & they love it. Ahhhh help me out, what are the name of the markets up there???? they are awesome also!

Hi Lorelle

Dreamworld had a lot more stuff than Seaworld last time I was there but that was a few years ago.

There's heaps of Markets, Zoos & tourist attractions that would be suitable for a 3 yr old
