Where the Wild Things Are

Where the Wild Thin…

Time to re-wild the kids?

Ditch the devices and get up close and personal to a Koala or a humpback whale. Clamber onto a camel and ride along the beach. Bounce through the treetops on Australia’s largest suspended playground, or splash through the largest inflatable water park. We’ve tried and tested these outdoor activities and they get the big tick of approval from our little wildlings (they even stopped asking for their phones. True!). See below for our Top 20 ideas:

  1. Wildnets Treetops Adventure Park
  2. Koala Hospital
  3. Billabong Zoo and Wildlife Park
  4. Whale Watching with Port Jet (or Boom Net rides in Summer)
  5. Stony Inflatable Aqua Park
  6. Horse Riding
  7. Camel Safari on the beach
  8. Bago Maze & Winery
  9. Sea Acres Rainforest Boardwalk
  10. Jollynose MTB Park
  11. Farm Tours
  12. Skate & Scoot
  13. The magnificent Old Bottlebutt Tree
  14. Waterfalls
  15. Learn to Surf, SUP or Kayak
  16. Boating & Fishing
  17. Playgrounds
  18. Timbertown Heritage Themepark
  19. Escape the Expected (Outdoor Escape Room)
  20. Gelato (because you can eat ice cream outdoors OK?)
