Explore Canberra to discover Australian culture and history at superb monuments and galleries surrounded by parklands and native bushland. Visit Parliament House, the Australian War Memorial and the National Gallery of Australia. Experience the Balloon Fiesta in autumn, Fireside Festival in winter, and Floriade in spring. Explore the Australian Alps or Tidnbinbilla Nature Reserve and the Murrumbidgee River Corridor, just a short drive away.
Visitors are spoiled for choice when it comes to things to do in and around the city and many of these are suitable for families and children of all ages.

From the history of Old Parliament House, to the interactive science museum Questacon, there are tons of interesting and educational attractions for kids and teens alike.
