Which nights should you book for Children's Christmas Party?
Most families attend the Children's Christmas Party on one of the two event days and stay the night before that day. Since the event runs on 11–12 December 2026 and families often arrive earlier in the day — especially after a long drive — booking for the night of 11 December (if attending on 11th) or 12 December (if attending on 12th) is typical. Some families choose to stay both nights if attending both days, but this is less common. Check your specific session time: if the party starts late in the day, you may not need to arrive before mid-afternoon.
How do you get to Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre?
All listed hotels are within an 8-minute walk of the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, with the closest — Novotel Brisbane South Bank Hotel — just 4 minutes away. This short walk is especially helpful when travelling with young children or using a pushchair. Ride-share drop-off is available at the venue precinct, and there is a train station within the precinct. Buses also serve the area, though services thin out late — check the last departure before you go.
Where do you eat and drink after the show?
After the party ends, families can walk to nearby cafés, ice cream shops, and casual restaurants in South Bank Parklands or along the riverfront. Several of the hotels themselves offer family-friendly dining options, and some have on-site bars or lounges where adults can relax while children wind down.
What is the area around Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre like?
The Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre sits within the South Bank precinct, a relaxed, pedestrian-friendly area known for its parklands, riverside walks, and family-oriented attractions like the Wheel of Brisbane and Streets Beach.
