    November 26, 2020

    Coronet Park at Burleigh Waters has long featured in my post Learn to ride tracks for Gold Coast Kids, and is a highlight of all the bike tracks on the Gold Coast.

Another new playground opening last week! Deepak P Another new playground opening last week! Deepak Park at Willow Vale has been updated and judging by the crowds over the weekend, it has been well received! This is a neighbourhood park, so no toilets. Kids will love the flying fox, 3 slides and huge climbing tower! 📍cnr Deepak Dr and Beadman Street, Willow Vale
These school holidays, I’m getting loads of fun These school holidays, I’m getting loads of fun at Truckloads Coolangatta – keeping the kids happy with loads of great value buys. First stop, the craft section with easy kids activities they can do independently. Ranging from just $2.50, the kids love picking their favourites. The kids want new toys on holidays? It’s easy to say yes with a great value range on offer. Reading, activity and colouring books – you bet they’re also at Truckloads! Some new outdoor games were on the list, and then a quick stop by the costumes. There’s also a fully stocked art range, with paints, drawing pens, modelling clay and more to choose from. Finally, we all grabbed some sweet treats for those school holiday movie nights. School holidays shouldn’t blow the budget, and Truckloads brings me LOADS more value everyday. Now I can sit back and relax, while the kids have fun with their holiday supplies! @truckloadscoolangatta is located on the Ground Floor of @strandcoolangatta [Ad]
Another great year at @mudgeerabashow! Thankfully Another great year at @mudgeerabashow! Thankfully the weather held, giving us a great Show weekend! Cattle, petting zoos, equestrian, historical displays, woodchop, agricultural pavilions, pig racing, snake shows, side show alley... there really is something for everyone! Everyone has a smile on their face and there are so many engaging and interactive displays! Personal opinion: the Mudgeeraba Show is way better than the Gold Coast Show 🙈 I love the Country meets the Coast vibes that Agricultural Shows deliver. This one is on our must visit list every year. Did you go this year? See you in 2026!
40 seconds isn't really enough to summarise the sp 40 seconds isn't really enough to summarise the spectacular show that is @ashton_entertainment Circus!! Opening night last night delivered an outstanding performance 👏 Running at Broadwater Parklands for the 2 weeks of school holidays, you can catch a day or night show on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays so there's something to suit every family. Check out incredible aerial performances, daredevil stunts and a whole lot of fun! [Invited]
These school holidays, why not take the children t These school holidays, why not take the children to @goldcoastequineconnections for a beautiful, calming connection session with a pony! Located at Wongawallan in the northern end of the Gold Coast, @goldcoastequineconnections host Equine Supported Connection sessions for children, drawing on the connection between humans and horses that brings a sense of calm and peace to our children's often busy and emotional lives. This is a great opportunity for children who might be nervous around animals, struggling with overstimulation, or simply children who'd love to get up close with these beautiful ponies in an intimate, one-on-one setting. The session goes at a pace your child is comfortable with, and includes activities such as a 'meet and greet', where they are introduced to a pony and given time to touch and brush them, or give them a mini-glam session, painting glitter gel into their manes! For those who are comfortable, they can even ride the pony around the ring and learn some horse riding basics. There are lots of other animal friends to meet on the farm too, with horses, ponies, sheep and chickens living in harmony here. These sessions are offered all year round, but would definitely make a fun school holiday activity! Prices start at $65 and vary depending on session duration. @goldcoastequineconnections also host the most gorgeous birthday parties if you have a horse loving child! [INVITED]
Mornings at @sprout.and.bloom_ Nature Playgroup! Mornings at @sprout.and.bloom_ Nature Playgroup! Tuesday mornings during the school term you can find this beautiful playgroup in the Ormeau/Pimpama area. With different themes each week, each activity station is carefully thought out and put together with beautiful, natural pieces. Run by a local Gold Coast mum, she has curated a welcoming, comfortable and safe space for children to explore and engage. Keep an eye out for pop ups at Paradise Point and Upper Coomera, and even a school holiday special event! [Invited]
Dahlia Park in Ormeau has reopened after a big ren Dahlia Park in Ormeau has reopened after a big renovation! This is a small neighbourhood park, but one that will be well loved by locals. A great climbing tower with 2 slides, a flying fox, seesaw and huge grassed area down to the lake. Perfect timing for school holidays, I think this one will be popular!
The @cityofgoldcoast and @1029hottomato Monster Ma The @cityofgoldcoast and @1029hottomato Monster Machinery Day never fails to disappoint! How incredibly lucky are we to have such an epic day out for the family each year, and for FREE!! It always hits me in the feels, seeing so many families getting so excited for garbage trucks, diggers, bob cats, street sweepers and more. It's a day where parents get to truly embrace the very simple joys our kids have. Loving the set up these days, spreading out across the Broadwater Parklands has made such a difference to the long queues of the past. Lots of themed zones, activities and food stalls also is really fab! Of course, patience is the order of the day, but we managed to avoid the tantrums, nab a great car park and have a fun day out. See you again in 2026!
@kalfreshveggies Carrot Day 2025! After our first @kalfreshveggies Carrot Day 2025! After our first visit last year, this was definitely a day we wanted to head back to again!! Factory tours, sausage sizzle, kids activities, tractors, and carrot picking! It sells out every year, best way to get your tickets is to sign up to their mailing list! We'll be back in 2026! @eatlocalmonthscenicrim
