Brisbane, the third-most populated city in Australia, is full of fun activities. Owing to the vast attractions and activities, the city has always welcomed a chunk of visitors.
In fact, by December 2022, about 7.3 million domestic overnight visitors came to Brisbane. Moreover, 16 million+ domestic tourists came to Brisbane for a day trip in the same year.
So, if you plan to visit this beautiful city, here are some unique and fun activities you can’t miss!
1. Craft your unique gin
In Brisbane, you’ll find several distilleries and gin schools that let tourists brew a unique gin by themselves, with proper guidance and instructions.
You’ll also learn to taste spirits like experts and receive a lesson on creating the perfect blend for your gin.
The friendly instructors also explain the rich history and fascinating facts about gin distilling. After a few hours, you will acquire great skills in gin distillation!
Some of these hands-on classes also come with a complimentary charcuterie board and cocktails, so you can enjoy lunch at the establishment. You can also purchase beverages from them at a discounted price!
2. Go on drinking dates at a secret bar
If you want to relax in a laid-back place and sip on some of the best alcohol, comb through the city’s hidden bars. Unique options include Archers Bunker, Junk Bar, and Legends Bar, and food is plentiful.
However, drinking and enjoying food alone is hardly fun, so you look up options for Brisbane companionship. Choose a gorgeous lady from a reputable escort service and enjoy a romantic dinner and drinks in these hidden venues.
Make sure you discuss your expectations ahead of time from the date. This way, you won’t be disappointed, and it will be worth your time!
3. Become a perfume-maker
Brisbane also offers several perfume-making workshops, where you can create a signature fragrance. In these hands-on workshops, experts teach you about perfume’s different layers and notes and how to choose the notes for your craft.
You’ll know the deepest secrets behind making famous perfumes and learn to master them. You’ll also learn to match your favorite scents and harmoniously layer them to create something unique.
Some may say it’s a feminine activity, but men enjoy it as much as women. After all, you understand your tastes in scents and learn to choose a flattering scent for yourself!
4. Spend a moment with birds and animals
The Lyell Deer Sanctuary of Samford Valley, around half an hour from North Brisbane, is known to house herds of different breeds of rescued deer.
This quiet sanctuary protects these poor animals and lets people enjoy a day close to these animals. You can pet, cuddle, feed, and sit with these gentle beings.
Alternatively, you can visit Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, which is filled with kangaroos, emus, and dingoes. The place is full of pretty bird flocks, which makes it look like a scene from a fairy tale. You can also volunteer to feed the lorikeets!
Another option is Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, where you can cuddle koalas, watch snakes feed, and see how carnivorous birds catch their prey.
5. Join the Quidditch team
If the Harry Potter series has always fascinated you, joining the city’s Quidditch club is a must-do. Anyone and everyone is welcome to participate in this activity. While these clubs are known to provide regular training, you can also join social games held by them.
You only need to learn all the rules, grab your broom, go to the field, and track the golden snitch.
6. Check out the city’s big clock
Brisbane’s Big Ben, aka City Hall, doesn’t just remind people of every passing hour. You can also book a tour with the Museum of Brisbane to watch the clock from a different angle.
A guide takes all enthusiasts in a group through an old-fashioned elevator to see the big tower’s internal works. You can also access the tower’s observation platform and immerse yourself in the city’s landscape.
The tour is just 15 minutes long, but book your slot in advance. Only a limited number of people can climb the elevator at once, and many enthusiasts want to enjoy it.
7. Visit the underground theatre
In the 1800s, the Spring Hill Reservoirs were built six meters under Albert Park for the main city’s water supply.
The underground space reopened recently and was turned into a unique underground theatre due to its perfect acoustics. So, book a show in this opera and listen to the wonderful voices of the performers.
This wonderful experience feels nothing less than entering a different world full of harmonious tunes.
Conclusion
With these activities, your Brisbane trip will be worth it. So, start planning and book all the interesting things to do now!
