Australia’s top holiday parks for kids, state by state

Taking the family on a vacation in 2021? According to readers of Holidays with Kids, you’ll want to add these family-favourite parks to your accommodation shortlist.

Best Holiday Park Awards 2020

Every year our mates at Holidays with Kids ask their readers to vote for their favourite holiday parks across the country. The awards are an opportunity to recognise holiday parks in each state that offer something extra special – whether that’s impeccable guest services, outstanding facilities, a jam-packed calendar of kids events, an unbeatable holiday location, or in most cases, a combination of all these things.

What’s clear is these parks all go the extra mile to accommodate families, with many investing in a range of facilities that’ll leave your kids’ eyes bulging. Think waterslides, cinemas, flying foxes, bike tracks, mini golf, kids’ club activities, go-karting, petting zoos and arcade games to name just a few. And all this in addition to imaginative accommodation options such as safari tents, pods and onsite vintage caravans.

We’ve rounded up the top three winning holiday parks in each state below, or you can browse all the winners here. It goes without saying that the awards represent only a fraction of the fantastic accommodation options out there for families, so if you don’t see your favourite on the lists, be sure to head to Holidays with Kids to cast your vote next year!
