Hobart is filled with fun activities for kids of all ages. The weather is usually beautiful all year round, so there’s no bad time to visit. Despite all the fun activities, Tasmania is often overlooked by visitors to Australia. This is why the region is a great place to have fun with the kids without the large crowds. Some of the must-do activities in Hobart include:

1. Visit the Museum of Old and New Art

MONA is a favourite destination for many foreign visitors. It’s the largest privately owned museum in the country. The unique displays will set off the spark of inspiration in your kids, and perhaps even the whole family.

2. The Summit of Mt Wellington

Locals refer to Mt Wellington as “The Mountain”, and the peak looms large over Hobart. The views from the mountain are incomparable. If you visit during the winter, you might have a chance to play in the snow.

3. Take On the Challenge of Richmond Maze

Richmond is a thirty-minute drive from Hobart Centre. There, you will find many historic sites including the Richmond Mazes. There are two mazes, one more challenging than the other, offering a good range of difficulty for you and the kids.

4. Enjoy the Seafood at Hobart’s Waterfront

Hobart’s waterfront is home to a plethora of restaurants, cafes, bars, and floating seafood shops. Enjoy some seafood favourites and try some new ones. Nothing tastes better than fresh seafood prepared right on the waterfront.

5. Go Shopping at Salamanca Market

While you’re on the waterfront, go shopping at the famous Salamanca Market. It’s open every Saturday morning where hundreds of stalls set up to sell all kinds of goods. Buy souvenirs and enjoy all kinds of food and drinks. There’s a lot for the kids to enjoy at the market too.
