Best Things to Do in Canberra, with kids
The Tradies is 58% Kids-Friendly
Children can join parents for meals and there is step-free access, yet no play zone, no kids events and bar-gaming areas offer little for under-12s, so stays beyond dining may bore them.
Recommended visit duration: 1-2 hours

Telstra Tower is 54% Kids-Friendly
Kids can enjoy free lawns, picnic spots and spotting birds on Black Mountain, yet lifts, museum and paid decks are shut until 2026 and no playground exists, so entertainment time is limited; check reopening.
Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

KFC Lookout Belconnen is 42% Kids-Friendly
Kids can do a quick photo-scavenger hunt and eat kids meals, plus toilets and Playworld in Westfield nearby; however the lookout lacks fencing, shade or play gear, so tight supervision is vital.
Recommended visit duration: 1-2 hours

National Convention Centre Canberra is 39% Kids-Friendly
The venue has no exhibits or play spaces for under-12s and child-focused shows are rare, so boredom is likely; only the adjacent Glebe Park playground offers relief.

AXXE - Axe Throwing & Smash Room is 38% Kids-Friendly
Only children 11–12 may throw axes and must be supervised; younger kids cannot enter, smash room is 18 +, and there are no child toilets or quiet spaces, so options for a mixed-age family are few.
Recommended visit duration: 1-2 hours

Missing Klues Escape Rooms is 7% Kids-Friendly
The business enforces a strict minimum age of 14, meaning children aged 0–12 cannot enter any room under any condition, so primary-school families must avoid this attraction altogether.
