Notable Mentions
These family and toddler friendly eats don’t have playgrounds or play rooms per se but have toddler charming elements that warrant a notable mention on this list. Check them out and see if they should be added to your toddler adventure list:
Kokomo Kitchen + Bar is a hidden oasis in Coomera with a small beach area, green space, gardens to discover and a boat decorating the main dining space.
Cafe Catalina is in a great location, right in the middle of the Broadwater Parklands, next to the Aquatic Centre and near The Rockpools. Plus it’s dog friendly. The Live Music on Friday and Sundays is recommended by many.
Bumbles Cafe in Surfers Paradise is located across the road from a park and playground, is full of bright decor, and has activities for children including drawing, and a big library, and games.
Paddock Bakery in Burleigh Heads has a large garden to explore.
