How can I keep children entertained on a Greyhound?

A little planning before you travel can make a long journey much more enjoyable for everyone. 

Whether you're heading away for a holiday, visiting family or travelling across the country, packing a few essentials can help keep children comfortable, engaged and settled along the way.

Before you travel, we recommend bringing:

• A tablet loaded with movies, games or shows
• Headphones for onboard entertainment
• Books, colouring activities or travel games
• Snacks and a refillable water bottle
• A favourite toy, blanket or comfort item
• A phone charger and power bank for longer journeys

East coast Greyhound services offer free Wi-Fi and all services have USB charging; however, availability can be affected by network coverage and other factors. To avoid disappointment, we recommend downloading movies, music and games before you travel.

Good to know

• Greyhound does not provide food or drinks onboard, so bringing your own refreshments is a good idea.
• If you're travelling with younger children, a jumper or light blanket can help keep them comfortable throughout the journey.
• Choosing seats together before departure can make travelling with children easier and more enjoyable.
• Remember to keep any medication, chargers and comfort items in your carry-on bag so they're easy to access during the trip.

Tip: The best travel days are usually the ones that start well prepared. A few snacks, some downloaded entertainment and a favourite comfort item can make all the difference on a longer journey.
