The Best Birthday Party Ideas For Toddlers In Brisbane

Toddlers can be tough to plan parties for – they’re big enough to know what’s going on, but not big enough to do lots of the fun stuff yet. Luckily, there are some great venues across Brisbane that cater especially to the little tykes – and take the stress off mum and dad too. One will even come to you!

Here are our top picks for hosting an awesome birthday party for your toddler in Brisbane.

2. Brisbane Bayside Steam Railway Society

If you’ve got a train lover, how about a party spent riding on trains at the Brisbane Bayside Steam Railway Society? They’ve got three areas available for parties including the popular Picnic Shelter, the fully-fences 5-Inch Station and the open space 'Beside Canteen'.  Of course, children can ride trains to their heart’s content. Trains run through the station on the mainline and for safety, at least one adult must ride on each train with small children.

Kids can ride the trains as many times as they like during your visit. All the parents at the party ride the trains for free! Tip: ensure your guests are wearing covered footwear so they’re allowed on the train.

Parties are BYO - you are welcome to bring along your own BBQ, tables and chairs and anything else you need.
