Cairns - Tell me where to find the fun
February 22, 2011 5:26 PM
In a few days I'm moving to Cairns, Queensland. What cool and fun things should I look out for in particular to distract and amuse my toddler in our new environment?
Seasonal events and so on would also be good to know.

My sister-in-law moved there with two small kids, and they loved the Lagoon and a free water playground called Muddy's.
She found the Cairns Regional Council website good for family-friendly recommendations until she learned her way around too.

Sugar World, but the slides are closed until December 2011.
Kuranda Steam train & Skyrail & the Kuranda Butterfly Sanctuary.
There's loads of wildlife parks, such as Birdworld, Safari Reserve, Crocodile Park and so forth.
I was going to suggest the the Tjapuki Aborginal Culture centre which is great fun for kids, with story telling, boomerang/spear throwing, dancing, musics, painting etc & has a free kids program, but it is apparently aimed at ages 5 - 11 so that's not so good for you :(
