Best Things to Do in Sunshine Coast, with kids

Paradise Seaplanes is 62% Kids-Friendly

Children over 15 kg get their own window seat and photos, but they pay full adult fare, must climb a ladder to board, and there are no on-site toilets or change rooms, limiting convenience.

Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

First Bay Coolum is 61% Kids-Friendly

Older children can build sandcastles and explore shallow rock pools, but parents must stay beside them since waves are unpatrolled and rocks are slippery and there are no lifesavers or playgrounds.

Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

Twin Waters Golf Club is 51% Kids-Friendly

Children over 6 may join 9-hole rounds, clinics, and hit balls on the lagoon range, yet no playground or staff supervision exists, so parents must monitor kids constantly, limiting overall ease.

Recommended visit duration: 3-4 hours

Manawee Garden Centre is 48% Kids-Friendly

Children are allowed and paths are safe, yet there is no playground, craft table or kids’ program, so interest wanes fast and parents must supervise closely around fragile pots and narrow walkways.

Recommended visit duration: 1-2 hours

Sunshine Coast Brewery is 48% Kids-Friendly

Children may enter and drink soft drinks, but there is no play zone, kids menu or organised activity, so entertainment and seating comfort depend entirely on parents.

Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

SKYONE Sunshine Coast is 40% Kids-Friendly

Children under 16 cannot skydive and must wait 2 hours with no playground or food service, yet supervised spectating on beach is allowed and free.

Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

Mount Coolum National Park is 40% Kids-Friendly

Older, sure-footed kids may climb if watched constantly, but loose gravel, cliff edges, full sun, and the total lack of toilets or tables make the outing stressful for most families.

Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

Smile Thai Massage Alexandra Headland is 35% Kids-Friendly

Children under 16 are permitted only if a parent stays and signs a waiver, yet there is no kids menu, play space, or entertainment; call first to confirm acceptance.

Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

Skydive Noosa is 31% Kids-Friendly

Children under 16 cannot skydive and there is no play zone, so younger kids only watch noisy landings, yet teens 16-17 may jump if a guardian signs.

Wen’ells Essentials is 21% Kids-Friendly

The venue provides no play zone, childcare, or kid-friendly treatments, and children must remain quiet in treatment areas, making a visit impractical and uncomfortable.
