Play

When the working day is done Toowoomba turns on the fun!

There’s loads to do and your only problem will be choosing what to do next.

A Night on the Town

The pubs and clubs scene in Toowoomba has never been more diverse.

You’ll find your vibe at any of our cute cocktail bars, pubs and nightclubs. If you like more intimate performance venues, with local bands, we’ve got them too.

Retail Therapy

The Toowoomba CBD is known as fashion headquarters but step into the suburban shopping centres and you’ll find each one has its own special boutiques.

You’ll find your favourite brand stores at the larger shopping malls.

Festivals & Fun

Whatever the month, we’ve got the special event.

From our biggest event, Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers and glamorous race days, high-profile fundraisers, performances and sporting carnivals to smaller festivals celebrating arts and crafts, country music, and of course, local food.

Sports

Playing and following a local sport is THE BEST way to meet like-minded people.

You can get involved with all kinds of footy, netball, basketball, cricket, baseball, touch, tennis, swimming, cycling, mountain biking and athletics.

Food & Dining

Fresh produce goes hand-in-hand with great dining and lucky for us we have both!

Our dining experiences cover everything from hatted restaurants to charming cafes and gastro-pubs.

Our Escarpment Adventures

Toowoomba’s escarpment bushland along with state and national parks are great for adventure. Bushwalking, horse riding, trail-running and mountain biking are all popular activities that help keep the population fit and active.

A Drive in the Country

A short drive in any direction from Toowoomba will take you to the region’s farming communities where you’ll see broadacre crops, cattle, sheep, orchards as well as flower and vegetable farms. You’ll also discover that every town has its own unique historic and cultural qualities.

History

Stories from our region’s rich history are told through our museums including Cobb + Co Museum, and pioneer villages at Highfields, Crows Nest and Pittsworth. Most towns have local museums of their own and there's always something fascnating to learn.

Aborginal cultures are also represented throughout the region at places like Gummingurru Reserve and the Amaroo Environmental Education Centre - although you will have to book ahead for these.
