The Calile Hotel
Begin your day by checking into Australia's premier design hotel, a pastel-hued concrete masterpiece that feels more like Palm Springs than Queensland. Fuel up with a flawless flat white and avocado toast at the Lobby Bar while the kids soak in the breezy, open-air architecture.
Brisbane Powerhouse
Head to this iconic repurposed industrial power station by the river for Emma Memma's Jungle Picnic Tour. It is a joyful, high-energy performance that keeps the little ones completely enchanted, set against a backdrop of raw brick and soaring steel beams.
Hellenika at The Calile
Return to the hotel for a poolside lunch that feels like a quick trip to the Greek islands. Order the Saganaki and the slow-cooked lamb to share; the atmosphere is lively enough that you won't need to worry about the kids being on their absolute best behaviour.
Institute of Modern Art
Stroll down to the Judith Wright Arts Centre to explore the Institute of Modern Art. It is a brilliant, compact space showcasing cutting-edge contemporary art that is as visually stimulating for adults as it is intriguing for curious younger minds.
Agnes
Secure an early booking at this spectacular, wood-fired restaurant set in a heritage brick warehouse where electricity is shunned in favour of open flames. The tasting menu is a masterclass in smoke and timber, providing the ultimate grown-up culinary reward after a busy day on the run.
