Visiting the Family Room
Take a break and be together as a family at the Ronald McDonald Family Room Queensland Children’s Hospital.
Our Ronald McDonald Family Room is a refuge for you and your family while visiting or staying with a child receiving treatment at QLD Children’s Hospital. Step away from the ward and into our inviting Family Room where you’ll find a cosy lounge, a kitchenette and complimentary refreshments. Our room offers a space for children to play, with toys, books, games and activities.
