14 Jun, 2023

Stay warm and entertained these school holidays with a magic show that’s sure to delight, a creative space to construct LEGO, a movie matinee and more.

We know it’s cold outside but it’s important to keep children active and socialising these school holidays, so we have got you covered.

Get your child a front row spot at a magic show - The Magician's Secrets - where Dane The Great Magician will unveil his secrets and have your child wanting to show off their new-found tricks at home.

There will be two shows, one at the Baranduda Community Centre on Wednesday, June 28 from 10am to 11am.

The second show will take place at the Felltimber Community Centre on the same day from 12.30pm to 1.30pm.

These winter school holidays are the perfect opportunity to get outside and explore our region and its rich history.

Come visit Bonegilla Migrant Experience and take part in a rare opportunity to explore a collection of original buildings and walk in the shoes of those migrants who made this their first Australian home.

There’s plenty for kids to see and do – outdoor games, colouring-in or take our suitcase trail which is a series of interactive suitcases designed for the curious explorer.

Also, have you checked out our city’s newest playground at Belvoir Park?

The playground has two flying foxes and a “ninja warrior” adventure obstacle course that has a smartphone app so people can time themselves, their friends and family and try to make it to a top 20 leaderboard.
