A
Among the many things that Brisbane（布里斯班），Australia, does really well is the care for kids. Here’s a list of places that we think will be suitable for your kids.
Swimming pools
Simple way for happiness: mix kids with water. Of course, this is a choice for the hot summer months.
Parks
Free outdoor fun—that’s what Brisbane’s parks offer kids of all ages. Parks encourage imagination and activity for little people and a place for parents to let them run wild.
The Children’s Art Centre
The Children’s Art Centre has proven very popular with their programs and exhibitions. We love the artist-run workshops and performances（unusually you must pay some money）specially designed for children too.
South Bank Parklands
South Bank Parklands has everything you need to keep little ones amused. Take them for a swim at the man-made beach play on one of the playgrounds by the river. On weekends, go through the arts market or go to a cheap movie at the South Bank cinema. South Bank Parklands often hosts free events and performances too.
Roma Street Parkland
Close to bus transport, this inner city parkland is easily accessible（可进入的）and ideal for kids of all ages. Younger kids can take a trip on the Jelly Bean Express, a 1. 3 km trackless train ride around the parkland or there’s a playground to explore. Free entry and open daily.
Skating and climbing
We love the places that let the kids expend all that youthful energy. Take them roller skating or ice skating. Or try rock climbing at a variety of indoor and outdoor places around Brisbane.
