Loved the great walkways and pools. The Museums are great and an easy walk from the Parklands. We recommend for families and children, plenty of places to eat and relax

When we are at a loose end, a trip to Southbank is the answer. We have tried out many of the restaurants - lots of variety and many choices with a range of prices so depends on who we are with and how we feel at the time. We often enjoy just a walk in and around Southbank or ride... More

Southbank is amazing. We visited the place with children and they were entertained all day. There are water playgrounds for children of all age. Don't miss it.

Lovely views, and there always seems to be plenty to see and do. Kids loved playing in the manmade beach. Nice and clean , plenty of options for food.

If your visiting Brisbane which by the way is a great city, do try and spend some time here in the Parklands. It is, as others have described it, an oasis within the hustle and bustle of a busy city. We came on a Sunday with our kids and I can't tell you what a marvelous time both they and... More

You just can't go past South Bank if you're looking to show someone new to Brisbane around. It really show cases what the city has to offer, with great views, relaxed river walks and an excellent selection of places to eat.
