Get in touch with a Wickedbucks party planner to organise your private room… we wish you the best of luck.

 

Nightclubbing

What does the fox say? He says start your evening at the Fox Hotel rooftop bar for a yummy drink or two. Once you’ve had your fill of delicious cocktails and Instagram models, head down to Fortitude Valley’s Prohibition Nightclub! A crowd favourite for its massive dancefloor, wowful lighting and banger beats. If you just can’t commit to one place for longer than an hour, head to The Met as an epic final destination for your night on the town! Expect a heaving scene in Fortitude Valley every Friday, Saturday and yes even Sunday evening! Make sure you save a few dollars for a cheeky maccas run on the way home.

 

Gallery of Modern Art

We mentioned the buzz and now we better mention the culture. The Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) is a popular museum located in the South bank precinct. The exhibitions vary throughout the year but you can always expect something that will have your creative juices tingling and mind wandering. A peaceful activity to ease that sore head or just take a minute for yourself to admire some of Australia’s greatest artists work. A lot of the artwork is interactive, making for an especially stimulating experience.

 

Bucks Go Karting Brisbane

If museums are not really your scene and you rather something with a bit more grunt then you have gottttt to go kart! Why? Because it is SO MUCH FUN. The rubbers burning, wheels screeching and cars are colliding as you and your gang race off around Brisbane’s best Go Karting course. Who doesn’t feel the need for speed when hanging out in the city? Escape the streets congestion and run wild as you race through the track at whatever speed you can handle.

 

Brisbane Bucks Boat Cruise

Let us take things up a notch or two and recommend booking you and your companions tickets aboard the Boat Party Cruise. Getting drunk at sea? This one is a no brainer if you are looking for a great big boujee time on the town (well water). Expect a generous crew that will keep your cup full and favourite beats rolling as you head out on the Brisbane River. See Brisbane all lit up from the very best vantage point and have everyone guessing how you managed to pull off something so swanky as this! The illuminated boat cruise makes for some epic photos, dance sessions and overall memories! We don’t think anyone has ever regretted this one.

 

Paintball Skirmish

That’s right, take advantage of the opportunity to hunt and crucify your best mates all in the name of fun! Feel like you are a part of the Hunger Games as you plot, maneuver and outwit your competitors at Brisbane’s Paintball Skirmish arena. Dress in your finest camouflage attire and don’t get caught without your finger on the trigger… every man (or woman) for themselves THIS IS WAR. No softies allowed #sorrynotsorry. A ruckus of a good time can be had letting your inner action figure run free in this fantastic group bonding activity!

 

Kangaroo Point Cliffs Park

Try your hand at rock climbing or watch the experts climb and decline alongside the Brisbane river. A scenic trek that makes for a great early morning walk or stunning vantage point of the city skyline of an evening. You can even pack some sausages and bread rolls and have yourselves a BBQ. Oh and the best part? It doesn’t cost a thing to stroll along the beautiful cliffside. One of Brisbane’s major attractions, unfortunately there are not any kangaroos residing on the cliffs (anymore at least).

 

Skydiving

Why not give the trip to Brisbane an experience that will make it stand out in your mind forever. How? By catapulting from 14,000 feet above ground, through the clouds and over the city of Brisbane. We are talking about skydiving of course! There is no bigger thrill than flying. Whether you book in with a friend or take a solo leap this is the experience of a LIFETIME and will have you totally amped up for hours upon hours. The best way to see all of Brisbane? From above. Without a doubt.

 

Brewery Tour

You might of heard of winery tour, now get ready for the BREWERY TOUR. That’s right, a tour of the establishment that makes our nation’s much loved beverage… beer! Enjoy a day filled with tasting some of the finest beer brews in Queensland, get educated on the history of the great drink and enjoy some delicious samples to take home with you!

Jet Boating

Finally…. We could not write a top 10 things to do in Brisbane without telling you to go Jet Boating on the famous Brisbane river. Speed past the eye, the museums and restaurants in a flash of fury. We can guarantee you will have a blast getting sloshed around the back of the boat with a couple of friends. You will need to hold on as the boat climbs up to 80km per hour! For all our adrenaline junkies out there, this one is not to be missed!

Make the most of your time in Brisbane, by taking every opportunity possible! If you can’t fit it all in this time, that’s more than enough of an excuse to come back and visit. You can expect generally warm weather all year round in sunny Queensland, but even if you do get caught in the rain some of these recommendations (like GOMA) are great rainy day activities.
