Fun Easter Activities In Brisbane For The Whole Family

Easter in Brisbane isn’t just about chocolate (although, let’s be honest, there’s plenty of that too). It’s the perfect time to soak up the sunshine, make the most of the school break, and get the kids out and about before they start bouncing off the walls from all those Easter eggs. Whether you’re keen for a relaxed family day or an adventure to remember, Brisbane’s got you covered this Easter.

Take Your Easter Adventure Sky-High With A Story Bridge Climb

Want to kick off Easter with a bit of excitement? Book the family in for a Story Bridge Adventure Climb. It’s open to kids aged 6 and up, and trust us, they’ll be chuffed to bits to tell their mates they climbed Brisbane’s most iconic landmark. Imagine standing high above the Brisbane River, spotting Easter festivities happening across the city, and soaking up those autumn breezes. Plus, with cooler weather and crystal-clear skies, Easter is one of the best times of year to climb. Bonus: everyone scores a free cap — the ultimate brag for show and tell!

Join A Massive Easter Egg Hunt

Brisbane goes all out when it comes to Easter egg hunts. Keep an eye out for community events popping up in parks around the city — places like South Bank Parklands, Roma Street Parkland and even local sports clubs often run cracking Easter egg hunts with games, face painting and prizes. Pack a picnic, grab a blanket, and let the kids loose while you kick back under the trees. Hot tip: get there early — those eggs don’t last long!

Hop Aboard A River Cruise

Swap the car for a ferry and take the kids on a CityCat adventure up and down the Brisbane River. At Easter, you’ll spot riverside parks packed with families, markets buzzing with activity, and maybe even a cheeky Easter bunny or two making the rounds. Hop off at South Bank for a splash at Streets Beach, or head up to New Farm Park for a play under the fig trees.

Picnic In The Park (With Extra Chocolate)

One of the best things about Brisbane at Easter? The weather is bang on perfect for a picnic. Load up the esky with hot cross buns, choccy treats and some sarnies, and set yourself up at Kangaroo Point Cliffs, New Farm Park or Roma Street Parkland. Let the kids kick the footy around or scoot along the river paths while you soak up the last of the summer warmth. Absolute bliss.

Visit Mount Coot-tha For An Easter Egg-cellent Adventure

If you’re up for a bit of exploring, head up to Mount Coot-tha for a bushwalk followed by a visit to the lookout. Some years, there are Easter-themed scavenger hunts or special activities at the Botanic Gardens nearby, so it’s worth keeping an eye out. Even if there’s no event on, the stunning views and cool breezes are well worth the trip — and there’s always ice cream waiting at the Summit café.

DIY Backyard Easter Olympics

Want to stay closer to home? Set up a DIY backyard Easter Olympics. Think egg-and-spoon races, bunny hop sack races, and backyard treasure hunts. It’s a great way to burn off some of that chocolate-fuelled energy — and you can bribe the winners (and the losers) with extra Easter eggs. Brisbane autumn afternoons are made for it: no mozzies, not too hot, just good old family fun.

Make This Easter One To Remember

Whether you’re scaling new heights, picnicking by the river, or chasing chocolate around the parks, there’s no shortage of ways to make this Easter a cracker. Brisbane’s got the perfect mix of sunshine, good vibes and family-friendly fun to keep everyone happy.
