Kids can run away to the circus, perfect their slam dunks at basketball camp, or get their hands messy with fab art workshops alongside local artists and galleries.
There’s also a wonderful range of NAIDOC-themed events where families can dive into Indigenous culture through storytelling, bush medicine, and traditional crafts – such a beautiful way to learn and connect together.
And if you’re planning to hit the road these holidays, we’ve also rounded up family-friendly events happening just beyond the Highlands – including in the Illawarra and Queanbeyan regions.
There’s plenty happening for kids right across the school break, and these listings might just inspire your next mini getaway!
