We all know how hard it is to eat out with kids – before you’ve even left the house you need to have packed drink bottles, snacks (in case they don’t eat their meal), fresh t-shirts (in case they make a complete mess), bibs (if you’ve got a little one still learning to eat) and various activities or things to keep them entertained while you shovel down your food and swig your wine. The sooner a meal out is complete, the better. However, there are so many places that are making eating out for families a much better experience – kids eat free, kids meals, kids entertainment, high chairs and priority service are just a few things that restaurants are offering in order to woo you over and get you dining with them.
I’ve searched high and low and I’m confident this is a pretty comprehensive list (as at July 2022) that I can share with you all of Kids Eat Free options on the Gold Coast. As always, best to check with the venue when booking in case things have changed – just in case! If you do know of any that I’ve missed, or find out something is outdated, I’d love it if you left a comment below or shoot me a message on social media so I can keep this updated and helpful for all Gold Coast families!
Enjoy and bon appétit.
