It can be hard to keep the kids entertained during the Winter holidays because the weather can make it can be hard to get out of the house. Luckily the Winter holidays only go for 2 weeks!
Here are 5 great things you can do with the kids to help keep them entertained:
- Ice skating: Experience the magic of Bondi Beach on skates? Yes you can! Head to Bondi where the Bondi Pavilion will be turned into an ice rink. Tickets start at $10 including skate hire. On July 1st to July 17th.
- Snow: Take a road trip to the Snowy mountains for a fun filled snow holiday with the kids.
- Whales: Cape Solander in Botany Bay National Park is one of the best whale-watching locations in Sydney and has a public viewing platform for you to enjoy the experience. June to November is the best viewing time.
- Museum: The Sydney Museum has a Lego exhibition – ‘Sydney made of Lego’, the kids will be amazed. Many other Museum displays for the kids to see there too. Prices start at $5.
- Movies: Winter time is perfect for seeing a movie and Hoyts have great family ticket prices. With “Finding Dory”, “Ice Age 5″ and “The BFG” all out these holidays, you may even want to go more than once.
Has the above not satisfied the kids appetite for fun? Here are some bonus activities you might be interested in:
