Category: Inspiration, News, Road To A Million, RoadtoaMillion2526, Date: 12 February 2026

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Red Centre, Discovery Parks – Alice Springs is where the fun begins. Kids can splash, jump and play to their hearts’ content with a waterpark, swimming pools, games and movie nights, while grown-ups unwind with a BBQ, a good book, or a short stroll to Alice Springs Brewing Co. for a cold brew in the beer garden.

After a day exploring the outback, the park offers the perfect place to recharge. Choose from comfortable cabins or spacious powered sites, all supported by friendly service and fantastic facilities. With adventure right on the doorstep and activities happening daily, it’s a stay that keeps everyone entertained.

Why Autumn & Winter Are the Perfect Time to Visit

Autumn and winter are when Alice Springs truly shines. Cool days and endless blue skies create ideal conditions for exploring, while the park keeps the energy high with a packed calendar of activities.

Guests can enjoy pancake breakfasts, sunset nibbles, star talks under the vast outback sky and even a little line dancing for something different. Onsite food trucks like Bao Sisters and Strawberries Galore serve up delicious bites, and the relaxed atmosphere makes it easy to settle in for longer stays.

It’s the perfect balance of adventure by day and entertainment by night.

Easter Holidays are packed with family-friendly fun. Kids Club hosts Easter-themed crafts, movie nights light up the evenings under the stars, and the famous Big Pancake Breakfast includes a special visit from the Easter Bunny.

The celebrations continue with the park’s annual Colour Run — a lively highlight that fills the grounds with laughter, smiles and splashes of colour for guests of all ages.

Discover the Red Centre

The Red Centre comes alive in the cooler months. Natural wonders such as Simpsons Gap, Standley Chasm and Ellery Creek Big Hole are at their best in mild weather, while the Olive Pink Botanic Garden offers a peaceful way to explore native flora.

Step back in time at the Alice Springs Telegraph Station or the National Road Transport Hall of Fame. Meet local wildlife at Kangaroo Sanctuary Alice Springs and Alice Springs Desert Park, and gain insight into remote life at the Royal Flying Doctor Service Alice Springs Tourist Facility and School of the Air.

It’s the best time of year to experience the beauty, history and spirit of Alice Springs.
