5. Hit the shops, Queenstown has a number of retail precincts (downtown, Frankton and Arrowtown) all with kid friendly stores and free tastings if they ask nicely!

6. Take a drive to Glenorchy, and spot the Lord of the Rings film locations; or leave the driving to someone else and take a tour that specialises in Lord of the Rings trips.

7. Check out the indoor entertainment precinct in Frankton – there are indoor trampolines, go karts, indoor rock climbing, Chipmunks Playland and more!
