Brisbane is recognised as one of Australia's child-friendliest cities: from it's offerings in the arts (see our What's On For Kids in Brisbane section) to the abundance of open air spaces, fun kids parks and free outdoor activities and the year round climate to enjoy them.

Along with a spate of indoor options, including the brilliant free children's art centre at GOMA, the performing arts also get a look in with regular children's theatre, concerts and festival programs.

Eating out with young ones needn't be formulaic, with a decent helping of cafes and restaurants catering for families.

Plus, specialist shops and markets for growing needs can help make the shopping experience memorable for the right reasons.

And, Brisbane is a top spot when it comes to kids birthday party venues and ideas to make their special day a memorable one.

We've got everything covered for kids in Brisbane in this section.
