Queenstown Adventure Activities - Minimum Age Guide

Queenstown Adventure Activities Including our minimum age guide

When you are discovering what to do with the kids in Queenstown it's great to know also how old the kids have to be to join in!

Queenstown has never had as many fun, family attractions as now!  With so much entertainment and excitement with appeal to grown-ups and children you'll never be short of family fun!   Kids can also take part in some of Queenstown's famous, thrilling adventure activities but there may be restrictions.

Fun things to do with the kids if they're 6 years and older

Ever been quad biking with the kids?  Take a safe, structured adventure and explore all terrain in an Off Road Adventures buggy!  They reckon it's the best hands-on adventure for families and the family-run Off Road Adventures have been going for more than 30 years!

What about a Segway ride?  This will be everything - scenic, hilarious, family fun - where you get to travel around Queenstown on a Segway on a guided tour.

If you fancy a jump into the unknown (well okay, over a river, but it's still kind of craaazy!) then head over to Shotover Canyon Swing.  This is a great family bonding experience!!   Or really cool ~ fly through the trees high above Queenstown with Ziptek Eco Tours.
You can even go whitewater rafting with the kids (3 years and over) with Family Adventures Rafting.  You'll raft the easy bits of the Shotover River and it's an AMAZING unforgettable family adventure indeed:)

Oh and let's not forget Riverboarding (as mentioned in the Lonely Planet's big book of world-class adventures!)  With kids aged above 8 years you can boogie board your way down the Kawarau River!

There is also tons of indoor fun to be had, including the exciting Escape Rooms and VR Escapes at Escape Quest and all the fun activities to be discovered at Thrillzone!

The list goes on - but you'll be surprised at how many things to do there are for you and the kids!
