Brisbane Kids- the official guide to child friendly brisbane

  • AboutBrisbane Kids Creative was created by me! Ngaire Stirling. I wont pretend to talk in the third person about myself, instead let me tell you a bit about me and how 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came about. At the time the domain name 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came up for purchase I was a stay at home mum in the middle of a degree centred around journalism and PR. a couple of years earlier I had been contemplating returning to my previous career in marketing management and for a while I even tried. 3 months into a new role and it was clear that I had no passion for my old life and to make the decision to quit easier, my almost 2 year old at the time was not coping with childcare. So, as a family we made the decision for me to return to becoming a stay at home mum. About 1 years later or so.. 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came up for sale. My friends had often commented on my ability to know exactly what was happening in Brisbane for kids. I had my son enrolled in some awesome activities and we often visited some great destinations. I loved finding fun things for us to doโ€ฆ

    Hi Brisbane Kids,

    I work at a local child care center in Eagle Farm, as I was browsing over your webpage I noticed you had Child Care Centers and Kindy’s listed above under the Education tab.
    What is the process of submitting my service for consideration to be added to this page?

    Kind Regards

    Hi Dot. The article might have begun in 2012 but it is all current content, we just continuously update. We have such a volume of traffic that we can generally rely on any changes to their kids eat free menus to come to us fairly quickly and then updated straight away. I checked atleast 6 randomly for you then and they are all still current. Was there one in particular that you found the detail incorrect?

    Hi Brisbane Kids!
    You are our go-to resource for weekend family fun. Thank you!
    My business is about to launch business and job hunting courses for mums with new bubs expectant mothers. ie; training for mum – bring along bub. Kind of like a mothers group with a difference.
    Is there an appropriate place in your site/s that I could list this info? I’ve been looking through but just not sure…

    I am finding it nearly impossible to find a kid friendly venue for RiverFire 2024 without a $150/head price tag? Are there any restaurants you know of?

    Reply
    • Brooke Powell

      Hi Kirsty, As one of the biggest nights of the year for most of the riverfront venues in Brisbane city, most will be charging a premium and have fixed packages only on the night of Riverfire. Stamford Plaza’s package is quite reasonable if you just wanted a guaranteed space and not to dine (though the pricing for dining is more in the range of what you’ve already found) – https://brisbanekids.com.au/event/riverfire-2024-at-stamford-plaza-brisbane/. It might also be worthwhile checking out the South Bank website, where they often list special events at the restaurants in the area – https://eatsouthbank.com.au/whats-on/ . Apart from that, the best and cheapest option is to get to one of the viewing areas like South Bank as early as possible and BYO picnic. Hope this helps!

      Hi Michelle, We’ve seqarched high and low and have been unable to find any Christmas pantomines in Brisbane for Christmas 2024. There are several Christmas shows on this year (not quite a pantomine, but they may suit your needs?, which you can find here – https://brisbanekids.com.au/christmas-shows-in-brisbane/ Hope this helps!

    I have a couple of suits , one formal and one smart. I would love to donate these to such a worthy cause. Unfortunately they do require dry cleaning, the cost of which is not within my budget.
    Do you have a dry cleaner I can drop these off to or am i able to bring them directly to you?
