Just For Kids
At the Queensland Garden Show, we're not just about talks and workshops. We've got an array of fantastic activities, perfect for the youngest aspiring gardeners. It's a golden opportunity for your little ones to unleash their green thumbs, get their hands a bit dirty, and, most importantly, have a whole lot of fun in the garden!
Throughout the event, our Kids Garden Patch offers an abundance of activities, including kids' crafts and seed planting – all designed to engage and entertain the young garden enthusiasts. But that's not all! Make your way to our complimentary (yes, it's free!) kids' playground, complete with a giant slide, a jumping pillow, and a merry-go-round. This playground is consistently one of the highlights for our littlest visitors.
Maximize your visit by turning it into a weekend adventure and discover our Family Self-Drive Itinerary for an unforgettable experience.
And here's the best part: Kids aged 15 and under get in for free! We're all about making the Queensland Garden Show a fantastic, family-friendly experience, where everyone can learn, play, and grow together.
