Free Kids Activities in Gold Coast
As a local parent, I've found that the best days out with the kids often start in the quieter suburbs like Burleigh or Miami, where we can grab a coffee and head to the beach before exploring some of the free kids activities on offer, from horse riding at Heartland Ranch to art sessions at CVL Art, and with so many options to choose from, we're spoilt for choice when it comes to keeping the little ones entertained on the Gold Coast, with its 57km of coastline and vibrant neighbourhoods to discover, and with a bit of planning, we can make the most of our time and create some special memories
