By: Sarah Tayler, 17 July 2019

Family fun and eating out don’t always go hand in hand. However, all that is about to change with these family-friendly dining options, which are guaranteed to please all members of your tribe. From face painting to indoor slides, these are six of the most fun dining experiences for kids in Brisbane.

Arana Leagues Club | Arana Hills

Not only does Arana Leagues Club have a kids’ play area, but a kids’ club. Check-in your child(ren) when you sit down and receive a buzzer so the staff can contact you if needed. The kids will have so much fun you will struggle to get them out of there, even for ice-cream (which comes for free with all kids’ meals). To use the kids’ club, which is open until 9pm/10pm, children must be between three and twelve and be out of nappies. The club also offers a courtesy bus for locals if you fancy a brew or two with your dinner.
