Your COMPLETE guide to the SPRING school holidays in Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast is right here!
Welcome to the most idyllic school holidays of the year!
Spring has officially arrived, and in Queensland, that means pure perfection — golden sunshine, crisp coastal breezes, and that glorious sweet spot of warm weather before the intense summer heat sets in. It’s the absolute best time to shake off the winter hibernation, pack a picnic, and get outdoors to explore with the family.
Our Spring School Holiday Guide is bursting with ideas across Southeast Queensland — Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, and the Gold Coast. From outdoor adventures and wildlife encounters, to the best shows and hands-on creative workshops, we’ve rounded up something for every kind of kid — the active explorers, the crafty creators, and the ones who just want an ice cream by the playground.
To make planning effortless, we’ve split the guide into three regional editions: Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast, so you can easily map out your holiday fun.
