The best lunch spots in Canberra

  • July 25, 2016

If you have a school group visiting Canberra with Kangaroo Bus Lines then no doubt you’ll be spending your days exploring the wide variety of exciting venues and experiencing everything our National Capital has to offer.  Whilst your itinerary is probably sorted have you thought about where you’d like to have lunch? 

Your accommodation will have provided you with a delicious healthy picnic lunch so now you’ll be looking for somewhere that will not only keep the kids amused but offers suitable amenities.  We’ve put a list together of some great spots in and around the city centre that are perfect to grab a bite to eat and give the kids a chance to let loose for a while.

Boundless Playground

Located in Kings Park adjacent to the National Carillion is the Boundless Playground.   This playground was initiated to celebrate Canberra’s Centenary in 2013.  Opened in October of 2014 the playground caters to different levels of abilities and is a space where young people can play, explore and challenge physical limits.  Boundless is a free, state-of-the-art play space that is fully fenced and features onsite amenities and shaded eating areas, it’s also wheelchair accessible.

National Arboretum

The National Arboretum Canberra covers an expanse of 250 hectares of rolling hills and valleys and features 94 forests of different types of rare, endangered and symbolic trees from around Australia and the world.  Located a short walk from the main car park is the onsite education and conservation centre.  The centre features a comfortable and quiet outdoor education space called The Clearing; ideal for school groups to rest or enjoy a picnic.  Amenities are located close by in the Village Centre which also boasts the Pod Playground.  Featuring giant acorn cubbies and Banksia pods this playground encourages kids to climb, explore and have fun.

Regatta Point

Commonwealth Park is a landscaped park located on the northern shore of Lake Burley Griffin at Regatta Point.  Wide open grassed spaces make it the perfect place to enjoy a picnic with spectacular lakeside views of the National Carillion and the Captain Cook Memorial Jet.  The park features a large picnic shelter and with onsite amenities.  The Canberra Visitor Centre & National Capital Exhibition also call Regatta Point home so it’s a great spot to start your week in our National Capital.

Black Mountain Peninsula

Enjoy over 22 hectares of foreshore parkland at the Black Mountain Peninsula.  Located close to Telstra Tower, the parkland boasts picnic areas with amenities & large grassed areas to kick a ball around.  The peninsula is an ideal spot to enjoy the lakeside environment and also features an all- abilities playground with the Liberty Swing purpose built for people in wheelchairs.   This space is great for an after lunch footy match or a leisurely stroll along the water’s edge.

Jump on over the National Capital Excursions page for more information on our fully packaged Canberra Tours.  And ‘yes’ we even offer flight packages too! www.kangaroobuslines.com.au/education/national-capital-excursions

Feedback from OUR HAPPY PASSENGERS

I just wanted to thank you for all of your help and assistance over the past week. Your flexibility and willingness to adapt the schedule for our demands was instrumental in helping us provide a top service during our event. It was a pleasure to work with you and we wish you all the best on your future service!
Volleyball Australia
The Shuttle Bus service provided at the Aussies21 Championships was fantastic and we received a lot of positive comments from everyone involved. From an operational perspective, the Kangaroo team was exceptional, flexible, and willing to work with us to fulfill any outside scope requests. The level of service delivery was above and beyond.
Surf Life Saving Australia
We’ve found working with Kangaroo Bus Lines to be a very professional service, and communication has been great especially when recognising potential logistical barriers. Through moving to Moreton Daily Stadium for season 2020/21, we’ve built many new relationships with local suppliers in the Moreton Bay Region. KBL are certainly a supplier we’ve enjoyed working with and wish to continue doing so.
Brisbane Roar Football Club, 2021
From the beginning of our working relationship, the staff at Kangaroo Bus Lines went the extra mile to deliver a personalised and professional service. KBL listened to our specific needs and delivered a plan to ensure these needs were not only met, but exceeded. Working with Kangaroo Bus Lines has been a seamless experience and the level of communication from everyone including the managers to the drivers has been exemplary.
Broncos Leagues Club, 2021
We’ve been traveling with Kangaroo Bus Lines for our biennial Instrumental Music tours for many years. This year we traveled to Hervey Bay, and the greater Cooloola Coast area. Our students and staff enjoyed all aspects of our tour. ! Most importantly, our drivers and tour managers were always on call, helpful, flexible and positive throughout the entire experience while dealing with all the complications a large group (90 students) of musicians can entail. Thank you!
Redcliffe State High School
Kangaroo Bus Lines spent a great deal of time with me when we first met, establishing a relationship of trust and commitment. Their staff are tireless in their pursuit of excellence and demonstrate great sensitivity to organisational needs as well as creativity in solving problems.
Queensland Police Service, G20 Group
A big thank you to your company and driver for our recent trip to Bundaberg. Carol was an excellent driver and got on well with the girls and very helpful in helping us set our gear up. We cannot thank her enough. We have used your company twice now and have had no faults and have had very comfortable rides. We look forward to using your company again next year.
Beaudesert & District Netball Association
Andy was excellent and truly is a massive credit to your business. He was absolutely outstanding as a driver and went above and beyond to assist with logistics and camp duties. He blended very well with my group which made the trip enjoyable and easy going for everyone. I regard him as the best operator I have encountered thus far and hope he is available again next year.
