Things to do in Childers with kids

There are so many things to do in Childers with kids we find it a great place to visit. We often pack the kids up for day and head to Childers to experience something different.

We thoroughly recommend dropping in to the Childers Historical Complex our Wide Bay Kids love this place.

We also love Mellennium Park for a good run around, Russo Nature Park for some exploring, and Vintners Secret Winery for a relaxing place the whole family can enjoy.

Here is our pick of things to do in Childers with your kids.

This is an awesome interactive place for kids to learn all about the ‘olden days’. The complex consists of 4 themed buildings chock-a-block full of interesting things. Our kids loved climbing all over the trains, having a go on the cash register in the general store and sitting on the old tractor and the old horse drawn carriages.

 If the complex is closed you can still access the trains, a beautifully restored rotunda and picnic tables…..a perfect place for a quite play. 

This small playground packs a real punch. The main fort structure is all about climbing and strength building. It includes a climbing maze, rock wall, rope climb, and suspension bridge. In order to go down the slides kids must first climb to the top of the fort using one of the climbing routes. 

There are shaded picnic tables and bbqs a great place for lunch. You will find the park entrance directly opposite The Palace Backpackers. 

The Childers Library is a great space for some quiet time.  Open week days from 9am to 5pm and closing for lunch from 12:30pm to 1:30pm and on Saturday from 9am to 12noon.

The library hosts regular story time sessions during the school term week and great kids activities during the school holidays. The library is situated at 49 Churchill Street.

Russo Nature Park is situated just 7 km south of Childers on Goodwood Road. This is an awesome park for kids to explore.
