Things to do in Brisbane with kids

100 dated listings for school-age kids in Brisbane in the next 60 days — after-school, camps, courses and youth sports, pulled from the town's real event feed and sorted by age, not by who paid to be first.

Kids life in Brisbane — the short version

If you're raising kids in Brisbane, this is the page that keeps up. Between Oct 7 and Dec 4, Brisbane's feed lists 100 dated listings for this age — 16 different programs, covering after-school, camps, courses and youth sports. Most of it runs at Archerfield Wetlands Community Hub, Durack (14) and Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-tha (7).

Everything here is a real listing from Brisbane's own event feed, checked against each program's age range — a program whose ages overlap 5–12 shows up here even if it also fits the age next door.

Good to know

By the numbers for this age in Brisbane: 100 dated listings in the next 60 days; 61 run after school on a weekday and 5 land on a weekend; the busiest single venue is Archerfield Wetlands Community Hub, Durack with 14 of them.

On cost: none of these listings carries a free tag in Brisbane's feed, so treat prices as check-the-listing — libraries and rec centres often run these at no cost, but the feed doesn't say so and we won't guess.

Common questions

What's on in Brisbane for school-age kids right now?

The feed lists 100 dated listings for this age in the next 60 days, running Oct 7 to Dec 4 — the Coming up section is pulled straight from it.

Are these drop-in, or do I need to register?

It varies by program, and the page only says which is which where a listing's own words say so — the Good to know section names the drop-in and registration listings it found. When it doesn't say, the listing link is the place to check.

What's free for school-age kids in Brisbane?

None of the current listings carries a free tag in the feed, so check each listing for its price — we don't mark anything free that the source doesn't.
