Ipswich has loads of fun and adventure right on your doorstep.

Family friendly fun, outdoor adventure, adrenalin action, a glimpse back to bygone days or simply pure indulgence. Ipswich has an impressive array of experiences and attractions to suit every body, every style and every budget.

Our line-up of tourism offerings include the Workshops Rail Museum, now Australia's top heritage and cultural tourism attraction. This national treasure is an absolute 'must see', especially for families. Visitors can also enjoy outdoor activities and adventure, historic country townships, deluxe rural retreats and an ever growing list of 'top shelf' events and entertainment.

Families can also enjoy Council's excellent range of free options including spectacular Queens Park with its state-of-the-art playground, massive nature centre and Japanese-themed Nerima Gardens. River Heart Parklands, on the banks of the Bremer River in the city centre, offers families a new outdoor environment in which to enjoy time together.

The Ipswich Art Gallery, one of the most visited regional art galleries in the country, has a superb range of free and almost-free children's activities year round. These run alongside impressive exhibitions of top local national artists.

Just 40 minutes from Brisbane's city centre, or an hour from the Gold Coast, Ipswich is ideal for a day trip or short break. So come and visit us and enjoy our beautiful city!

Regionally, Ipswich is part of the Scenic Rim.

We work closely with the cities of Boonah and Beaudesert in promoting the vast array of tourism products available which includes short weekend escapes in the country to indulgent wine tastings within a picturesque backdrop of colourful mountain-scapes and ecologically diverse green space areas including National Parks and Conservation Parks.

The mark of any great city is its capacity to attract and stage major events. Ipswich is simply brimming with these. Events for families, events that celebrate community and culture to events that get the heart racing. It's all here in Ipswich.
