Kids About Cairns

Kids About Cairns Mission

Kids About Cairns was founded in 2020 by Roxanne Lyon, a local Cairns Mum.  

The aim of the site was to provide quality free information on things to do with kids in Cairns, to local Cairns families and those visiting our beautiful region. 

It soon became apparent that local businesses really wanted a platform to reach out to families in the region, and furthermore, local and visiting families really wanted to support these local businesses. 

A new concept was developed whereby not only would free information be provided on things to do in Cairns, but that the site would support local businesses and organisations by providing information and resources on family friendly products and services, community groups, out of school activities, classes and clubs.

About Us

WELCOME TO KIDS ABOUT CAIRNS

Showcasing the best things to do in Cairns, for local and visiting families.

Where to go, what’s on, and what’s new, while supporting local businesses and the community.

We wanted to be different from other sites, by providing ALL of the activities and options available to families for free, regardless of whether that business has decided to work with us or not.  This way we do our best to ensure that we provide the best possible information we can. (At present, the website is still in its early days but we promise there is loads more to come).  

We will of course work with businesses who want to feature or showcase their products and services.  These businesses will have to have a quality product or service that will be of benefit to kids and family life in Cairns and most importantly understand our values and display integrity.

Hi – I’m Roxanne, and together with my daughter and some other local families, we will show you the best family activities that Cairns has to offer. There is so much to do here, in this part of the world that we call home and visitors call paradise. 

What started as an idea became a reality 12 months later, and it soon became apparent that we were going to need some help to bring you guys, our readers, the best experience we can, all for free, so meet our local team of Cairns contributors.

The Kids About Cairns - Team of Contributors

Roxanne Lyon

Founder

Local Mum, Roxanne started Kids About Cairns in 2020 after failing to find much local information about where to go with kids and family, outside of the tourist hot spots and popular playgrounds. A simple search for BBQ spots in Cairns failed to bring up much information and so the idea was born.  After searching other cities in Australia and finding dedicated kids and family websites highlighting all of the fun free things to do the idea became a reality. Roxanne is also a bookkeeper and currently finishing studies to first become a BAS Agent and then a Certified Digital Marketing Professional.
