Like to treat the kids to some different activities over the looooong summer break – but the budget is a bit tight?
Have no fear! There are many no-cost and low-cost opportunities for kids to have fun through December and January. Take advantage of the various programs and activities provided by City of Moreton Bay to keep your children happily engaged these holidays.
For only $5 per person (online), Morayfield Sport and Events Centre offers two very different experiences.
The Larrikin Puppets Family Fun Day on Tuesday, 20 January takes kids (and grown-ups) on a rollicking adventure full of songs, silliness and interactive fun. Don’t miss your chance to see this Jim Henson Company-trained puppet show.
Wild Encounters with D’Aguilar Wildlife are back with creatures that slither, crawl, fly, glide, hop or sleep in the School Holiday Wildlife Show on Wednesday, 21 January. Learn more about our native wildlife then stay for photos and to pat some animals.
Get tickets to the events at Morayfield Sport and Events Centre.
