I cannot wait to go back to Tassie – I had three amazing weeks there, and cannot wait to see more!

About 3 years ago my husband and I took our children to tassie for our very first family holiday (2 weeks during school holidays) in winter.it was the best time we have had. My children loved seeing the snow on the mountains. I would suggest hiring a house it costs less and you could make your own meals. A must see is Salamanca market sensational produce, Cadbury is chocolate heaven. Or take the car on the ferry across to brunie island the drive through their is breath taking. We also discovered a old town Richmond which is a must if you love savoury pies. The bakery is outstanding. My husband and son suffer from asthma during our time in tassie they didn’t use there puffer and were ok

Launceston Museum is a great little museum for kids- hands on activities and a machine that spits out Cool Mints, not to mention the great display of wildlife including the Tassie Tiger (stuffed of course). Also there are monkeys at the Launceston Botanical Gardens. There is an enclosure containing those monkeys with red bottoms. Our kids loved watching them- particularly the mums feeding their young! Best of all, it’s all free!

We had a family trip to Tasmania when I was a teenager and I loved it! I can’t wait to take my kids there when they’re a bit older. One of my fave places was Port Arthur and also the penguin watching at Bicheno but a great place for kids that wasn’t on this list is Tasmazia.

Port Arthur for sure it is so full of great history for the young and old.

great ideas thanks for sharing

Great list. we also love taking a cruise from Hobart to Peppermint Bay and a visit to MONA is also fun, even for the kids.

I’d so much love to visit Tasmania one day!!
