The city of Coffs Harbour is a popular family destination on the Australian east coast. The city can be easily accessed thanks to
Coffs Harbour Airport. There is also a 9-hour train ride from Sydney that may sound long, but the experience and the views make the journey well worth it. There is surely something to appease all travelers to Coffs Harbour with its range of attractions and activities.
The kitschy and popular Big Banana has been quite the thing for over 40 years and has been an experience shared by generations of Australians. Banana snacks and merchandise are abundant and include banana bread, chocolate-dipped bananas, and banana water pistols, and the photo-op is iconic. The
Big Banana Fun Park offers fun rides, ice skating, and a snow slope. The opportunity to experience wildlife is diverse and includes Dolphin Marine Magic, Butterfly House, and the shearwater nesting on Muttonbird Island. Park Beach and Coffs Creek are family-friendly beach sites, and whale watching cruises and helicopter tours can be enjoyed to make the most out of your time here. Shopping opportunities are also available at
Park Beach Plaza, and local market experiences can be had at Jetty Markets or Parkbeach Markets.
