Tableland Company of Archers

Last updated April 2026

Kids can channel Robin Hood at Tableland Company of Archers in Mareeba, where little adventurers trade screen time for bows and arrows under the watchful eyes of expert instructors. This authentic archery range gives children aged five and up the rare chance to learn proper technique while aiming at targets designed just for them. Located on Springs Road just outside Mareeba, it's one of the few places in the region where families can experience archery in purpose-built safety zones surrounded by the quiet beauty of the Atherton Tablelands. The setting is rustic yet safe, with equipment scaled down for small hands and patient coaches who know exactly how to keep the fun flowing. For parents hunting fresh ways to spark outdoor play outside Cairns, this spot delivers moments of genuine excitement without the crowds. Ideal for birthday parties or rainy-day alternatives in the tropics. **What to Bring** Closed-toe shoes are essential. Sun protection is non-negotiable—hat, sunscreen, and a water bottle. Pack a light snack for after the session. No loose clothing that might snag on equipment. **Best Age Range** Best for 5–14 year olds. Younger siblings can watch but require close supervision. **Good to Know** Sessions run mornings and afternoons; book ahead for weekends. Pricing starts at $25 per child, with family packages available. Cash and card accepted on site. Avoid the wet season if you prefer dry targets and clear paths. **Nearby** Stop by the Mareeba Heritage Museum and Railway just 5 minutes away for a quick history fix. **Tips From Other Parents** Arrive 15 minutes early to fill in waivers and settle nerves. Let the kids wear old clothes—targets and mud sometimes meet. Pair the session with a drive through the nearby Granite Gorge Nature Park for a full day of outdoor adventure.
