With views so awe-inspiring, this is the perfect road trip destination for screen-free time and the opportunity to connect with nature or have a good old-fashion country experience. Youll feel as though youve been transported back into time.

What To Do

 

Canoe - Take a canoe tour on an easy 5km paddle down stream the Kangaroo River and witness the amazing wildlife against a peaceful valley view backdrop. Watch out for kangaroos, wallabies, harmless water dragons, wombats, abundant bird life, and if luck is on your side, you may even spot a platypus. Ellaslist paid for a 2-hour tour with Kangaroo Valley Canoes and loved every minute of the experience. Every child needs to be in a canoe with an adult but there are also 3-person canoes to choose from. They help you launch and then come and collect you at the other end and drive you back to your start point.

 

Delve Into History & Do A Bushwalk - If youve got younger kids in tow, enjoy a trip back in time at the Pioneer Park Museums eight hectare open air museum grounds that includes colonial buildings and natural bushland. A leisure walk through the grounds will take you through a discovery of a dairy, forge, timber cutters hut, bush school, settlers cottage, Archie Chittick Museum and war remembrance room. Then relax with picnic at a magnificent park with gas BBQs and toilet facilities. The kids will especially enjoy crossing the 72m swing bridge which leads to two marked easy bush walks on the propertys natural reserve.

 

Rest & Relax - If you and the school aged kids fancy a swim, there are safe swimming spots on the serene Kangaroo River at Hampden Bridge and at the Bendeela Campground.

 

Explore - A walk along the beautiful heritage listed buildings in the Kangaroo Valley Village alone is a welcome sight for the concrete jungle city folk. The kids will be over the moon when you take them to the woodcraft store to check out all the amazing wooden toys and the fudge and ice-creamery shop for treats!
