When you're young, nothing's better than spinning fast, climbing high or leaping off things at a playground. Luckily, Muddys Playground has plenty of ways to keep adventurous little souls happy.

You'll have sightseeing choices galore in Cairns Central Business District. Muddy's Playground is a good place to kick off here, but there are many other worthwhile attractions to experience. Esplanade Lagoon, Centenary Lakes Botanic Gardens, and Mount Whitfield Conservation Park are near the outdoor play area and will fill in your day nicely.

8.8/10 Excellent! (744 reviews)

We stayed in a two bedroom apartment. It was excellent. Very clean, with a starter pack of consumables. The unit was on the ground floor, this was outstanding as our groups average age was 70+. Reception was staffed by a lovely, thoughtful lady. The room had everything imaginable for a travelling party. The extent of inclusions available to us made this the best unit we have used.
