Wineglass Bay

Seal Swim at Pirate Bay on Tasman Peninsula east of Hobart you will love love it!! – Robyn
Cradle Mt is amazing, the Gordon river cruise at Strahan is a must. – Vicki
My 8 year old son who has been over 3 times says zoo doo, Bicheno for the penguins, old Hobart town miniature village in Richmond, the raspberry farm, Ashgrove cheese n chocolate factory (all 3 are on the road to Hobart from Devonport), Tazmazia in Sheffield, Bruny island boat ride to see the seals, Huon Valley thermal pools, Bonorong zoo, any zoo really!! Especially if you can interact with a tassie devil!!! Sorry I think that’s more than 5 there is sooo much to do!!! – Natalie
Huon Valley Caravan park, they have just opened a Tassie devil display. Fantastic place. Ida Bay railway and Tahune Airwalk plus “The Wall” lots of other places too. – Jude
We loved Tasmania so much we decided to move here after our big lap! Don’t say we didn’t warn you 😜 Hard to pick five spots but here are the first that came to mind – Swimcart Beach free camp, Mount Field National Park, Geeveston (riverside RSL low cost camp), Hastings Caves and Thermal Springs, Fortesque Bay (near Port Arthur). Also Trowanna Wildlife park was fantastic. Lots of great presentations that are often interactive (we got to pat a wombat and baby tassie devil. So many Tassie Devils with great feeding demonstrations. Also not as expensive as some others. That region is beautiful too, not far from chudleigh honey farm and mole creek. Great caravan park there. – Kristal
Hastings Caves
If you’re near Latrobe around Australia Day you MUST go to Fun Food Ferrets it’s huge and such a fun filled family day. So much free stuff for kids to get involved with. Small entry fee. – Narelle
Can’t believe no one has mentioned the Abt railway. Travels between Strahan and Queenstown. You will all have to go back and do this if you haven’t. – Will
We love everything about Tassie!! I asked my girls their top 5 places to visit. They said 5 is not enough but came up with…..Beaconsfield Mine (“definitely!”), Cradle Mountain, Port Arthur, Wineglass Bay (must do the beach walk too!) and Bicheno (walk the foreshore path from town around the beach, red rocks and blow hole then enjoy the best fish n chips ever at “the gulch”!). Ohhhh, now we want to go back again! 😊 – Rose
We took our kids (7&5) to tassie late last year. It was amazing! The list is endless of where you should go but I highly recommend Tasmania zoo, salmon farms, Tarraleah, MT Wellington, cradle mountain national park, Freycinet national park. Oohhh I could just keep writing! – Sam
Mt Wellington
North West Coast. It’s beautiful. Hawley Beach, Turners Beach, Sisters Beach, Boat Harbour. Mt Roland, Sheffield, Deloraine. I’m a local and cannot speak more highly of our beautiful state! Love every part of it and so so much to see. – Katharine
Our Top 5 must seed would be:

Cradle Mountain 🏞 & Dove Lake – still our most favourite NP in the world!!❤️ 🌎Take your walking shoes but rest assured there’s a walk for everyone!
Freycinet National Park with a walk to Wineglass bay. While in the area take a night trip to Bicheno to see the penguins 🐧
Hobart – Beautiful city and being January the Taste of Tasmania is on… don’t miss this delicious festival (scallop pie for starters😉)!! 🍓🍇🍤🍻🍷If you’re lucky you’ll also see the Sydney to Hobart yachts enter Constitution Dock 🇦🇺😃
Port Arthur – stirring history and beauty that has to be experienced
Bay of Fires at Binalong Bay – up there with the most spectacular beaches in Australia. – Galways Go Round

Trowunna Wildlife park at Mole creek was great with the kids. Get to pat the Tassy devils. Also the caves at Mole creek were stunning. 😃 – Kylie
