For all ages
Family Queenstown
Luge rides, wildlife, gentle lake trails and easy day-trips — Queenstown packs a lot in for families, most of it walkable or a short bus ride from town.
You don't need to be an adrenaline junkie to love it here. The Skyline Gondola and luge are a family favourite, Kiwi Park introduces the kids to native wildlife, and the lakefront and Queenstown Gardens are free, flat and beautiful. Plenty of the big-ticket adventures run tandem or family versions too.
