Spring in Ipswich is all about fresh air, new life, and outdoor fun. Cuddle baby animals, enjoy scenic picnics, stay on a farm, and find experiences the whole family will love – just in time for school holidays and Father’s Day.
See some baby animals
In spring you can usually meet some babies at Ipswich hobby farms. See baby sheep at Ewe Nique Hobby Farm as lambing season is from winter into spring each year, camels at Summer Land Camels and cria (baby llamas) at The Llama Farm.
Unwind with the perfect picnic
There are some amazing places to have a picnic in Ipswich. Including businesses like The Soul Nook Collective that take care of all the hard work for you. Or you can opt to visit one of the fantastic parks around, all you need to do is pack the esky.
Camping and farmstays
Enjoy a breath of fresh country air at farm stays this Spring! Stay in a tiny house on a cattle farm on the banks of the Brisbane River at Pocket Retreats, go glamping or stay in a beautifully renovated house at Twigley Farm or find yourself on a farm with mountain views at Tallavalley Farm B&B. Go camping at Hardings Paddock or Ivory’s Rock to feel a million miles away surrounded by bushland.
Fun kids’ things to do
September school holidays are just around the corner and now’s the perfect time to start planning an epic adventure. Head to Nicholas Street Precinct to explore Dinosaur Discovery or to the Queensland Museum Rail Workshops for trains and the sciencentre, ride the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, try a child-friendly escape room at Seraphim Escape.
Father’s Day ideas
Spring also means it’s nearly Father’s Day. Celebrate the dad in your life with the perfect gift – an experience he will never forget. Take dad up high in a hot air balloon, racing around the track in a Mustang, or enjoy fresh produce in an olive grove.
