There\u2019s loads of outdoor fun to enjoy with kids in Queensland and you\u2019ll never be stuck on thinking of what things to do, Innisfail, as the town and surrounding area rocks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Starting at Paronella Park, let your youngsters roam around the picnic area by the falls, cross the bridges, find the hidden tunnel and enjoy the amazing tropical rainforest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Check out the horse riding at Babinda Pony Club, available for riders from 2-years and up. Add this to an afternoon swimming at the fresh water pools of Babinda Boulders. Or up the adrenaline with Foaming Fury, a whitewater rafting experience about 40km from Innisfail, at the Barron River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a full day of nature, there\u2019s the spectacular Wooroonooran National Park, just 15 minutes from Innisfail. Walk high in the rainforest canopy along the Mamu Tropical Skywalk or hunt for waterfalls through the lush vegetation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a rainy day, head to the Australian Sugar Heritage Centre to let the kids learn a little about the culture of the region, but mainly to explore the massive machines and locomotives on display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s a couple of beaches in the region, with our favourite definitely Etty Bay. Kids will marvel at the weird cassowaries and gasp at the dinosaur-like monitor lizards. Swim, fish, or just play on the sand and explore the rocks, it\u2019s a gorgeous spot. And there\u2019s more wildlife fun with Snapping Tours, who offer trips in a glass-bottom boat along the Johnstone River where you can look out for salt water crocs and lots of birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For indoors or evening fun, head to Innisfail Sugarbowl Lanes for some great family competition!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Final Words<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We found Innisfail a surprising town, pretty and bright in its Art Deco splendour, there\u2019s just so much to do around the local area. Etty Bay will forever stand out in our memories, and the rainforest scenery in the hikes is awesome – we felt completely immersed in nature! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best part is that nothing is as popular as nearby Cairns so you can enjoy the attractions without being surrounded by others. Definitely add a few nights at Innisfail into any Queensland itinerary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
