Queenstown with Kids: Family Things to Do and Milford Sound Day Trips
by Adventurous Family with Kids
Why we featured this post
Queenstown is known as an adrenaline capital, but this guide shows how much it offers kids too. Jen's family spent several days there with kids aged 5 and 8, riding the Skyline Gondola and luge, a Shotover jet boat and the century-old TSS Earnslaw to Walter Peak. Quieter picks include the lakefront playground, biking to Arrowtown and gold panning in the river. A day trip covers Milford Sound, the Te Anau Glowworm Caves and Doubtful Sound. Buy the five-ride luge pass, and check height minimums before you book.
