Making memories (and mementos), getting revved up for some action on the track, enrolling in a Superhero Academy and checking out fun shows about farts. This is just a taste of what’s going to keep them happy this summer.
Beat the summer heat with a frozen treat. Choose one or two (or three) flavours from the just-opened Timboon Fine Ice Cream, firm favourite Il Piccolo Gelato or grab a tasty cone from the iconic Tramcar Ice Cream Co at Lake Wendouree.
Looking for a one-stop shop for school holiday fun? Make a day of it at the Ballarat Indoor Go Karts, Laserforce and Entertainment Centre. There’s also a new arcade entertainment zone for post-kart or laser video game action. Other great options include Maze House and the Ballarat Municipal Observatory and Museum.
The Superhero Academy arrives at Kryal Castle this January, and it needs some special recruits! Help battle the forces of evil by learning super skills in a range of amazing activities, on top of the exciting jousts, live performances, animal displays, face painting and potion classes!
A visit to Sovereign Hill is a must this school holidays. On top of much-loved activities like watching the red coats in action, panning for gold and coach rides, be sure to check out the Makers Series where you can create a lasting memento using old-world techniques.
There’s plenty more family and kid-friendly things to do. See a show at the newly-reopened Her Majesty’s Theatre, grab an ice cream at the lake, jump aboard the Golden City Paddle Steamer, and so much more!
