SCHOOL’S out and Easter Holidays are here. The Sunshine Coast is overflowing with ways to keep kids entertained, active and off screens.
From free library activities to craft workshops, nature adventures, scavenger hunts and hands-on pioneer play, there’s something for every age and budget.
Here’s your bumper guide to holiday fun.
Bungee Run Inflatable Challenge
To celebrate our latest exhibition, Grassroots to Glory: Around the Track, join us for an action-packed day of athletic fun with a Bungee Run Inflatable Challenge!
This high energy activity lets kids and adults race side-by-side down a giant inflatable track. Older participants are fitted with a harness, while younger kids—who cannot wear a harness for safety reasons—can still have fun running on the inflatable. But there’s a twist: the bungee cords pull you backwards just when you think you’ve got it! It’s hilarious, competitive, and guaranteed to get hearts pumping.
Bring your family and friends, and see who can go the distance.
