The best family-friendly activities to do in Kingston

Don’t spend all of winter inside your house! There are plenty of fun indoor activities to do out and about in Kingston. So grab your whole family for a day of excitement, learning and new adventures. Use this as itinerary inspiration for your next day out.

1. Olympic Ice Skating Centre

First, layer up and have a blast on the ice at the Olympic Ice Skating Centre in Oakleigh South. Their public skate sessions are the perfect opportunity for first timers to practice on the ice. Skates are provided and they have sessions every day of the week, so buckle up and get skating!

2. TwistED Science

Then, put on your lab coats for some interactive fun at TwistED Science in Moorabbin. Experience a variety of exhibits and hands-on activities as you learn how things (such as bubbles and rockets) work, move and feel. Even the adults can learn something new here!

3. Archie Brothers

Afterwards, make your way to Archie Brothers at Morris Moor to test your skills on some classic arcade games. If that’s not your thing, try your hand at bumper cars, laser tag or bowling. If you need something else to sweeten this deal, how about some refreshments or a tasty cocktail for the parents while the kids play? Keep the fun going by heading next door to Holey Moley.

4. Stomping Ground Brewing Co

After working up a huge appetite, enjoy a meal and drink at Stomping Ground Brewing Co at Morris Moor. This family-friendly pub has great food, plus a kid’s playground that parents absolutely love.

5. Activate BY Hardrock

Next, get ready to climb to new heights at Heatherton’s Activate by Hardrock in their Clip ‘n Climb arena. There are over 30 different climbing challenges to complete with varying difficulties, so there’s something for everyone.

6. Gardenworld

Lastly, spend some time developing your green thumb at Gardenworld in Braeside. Not only is there a huge range of plants, but they also have an unexpected collectors corner of giant cacti, crystals and dinosaurs to live in your garden! It’s the perfect place to get a souvenir to remember your amazing day out in Kingston!
