Family Fun AT COBBOLD GORGE

Cobbold Gorge is a family favourite, especially when it comes to school holidays. Our outback location offers a diverse array of adventurous activities and exploration, with something to suit children of all ages and interests. From our gorge tours, which include a boat ride, the glass bridge and guided walk along the escarpment, to simply amazing scenic heli flights and SUP tours, to hiking and biking our tracks and trails, kayaking in the lake, swimming in the pool, star gazing, pizza nights, movie nights, all the footy action – AFL & NRL – on the big screen and more. Our cabins always book out early, so make sure you plan in advance to book one of these, and we have lots of space for caravans, camper trailers, tents and swags with powered and unpowered sites. Pets are welcome at the campgrounds under supervision, but are not permitted in the Cabins or on Cobbold Gorge Tours (see our FAQs for more info on pets). Additional details and all you need to know about school holidays at Cobbold Gorge and Village, is below or see our online schedule of events and activities .
