Best activities for your sporty child

They never shy away from a friendly competition. So naturally, they'll get a kick out of go-karting. Watch them have a blast as they race around the track, competing for a spot on the podium in their very own Mario Kart showdown.

Heads up, the minimum age changes depending on the track, so make sure to double check before booking. Minors will require a guardian to sign a form, meaning you’ll need to stick around to do so (if you’re not joining in yourself).

Got a little daredevil to keep busy? Indoor skydiving has their name all over it. This glass wind tunnel is packed with all the thrill they could dream of. Taking them one step closer to flying, they’ll love mastering a new skill as they experience a 14,000ft free fall.

Anyone 3 years and above can do this, so the whole family can join in on the fun. Just remember to wear loose clothes underneath your flight suit for ultimate comfort.

Nothing puts a grin on their face like smashing a new goal. That’s why rock climbing will be right down their alley. Reaching the top of the wall is just a new challenge they can work towards. It’s also a fantastic way to burn off energy (and yes, they’ll sleep like a baby afterward!).

There are a couple options you can keep up your sleeve for this one. Send them off to climb cliff faces or go for gold with courses that include rope challenges and flying foxes.

Can't tear them away from the water? Surfing lessons are a no-brainer. This Aussie classic will give your water baby them the perfect excuse to dive right back in, board in hand. All equipment is provided, and an instructor will walk them through, so it’s the best way to ease into it.

If surfing isn’t their thing, an aqua park will work a treat. One big floating obstacle course, they’ll have a ball sliding, bouncing and jumping their way around. Either way, make sure to pack your swimmers, a towel and plenty of sunscreen.
