Time to get out while school’s out

Published 24 June 2020

A new timetable of free and low-cost activities will help take the hassle out of keeping the kids entertained these school holidays.

From learning to fish to a virtual bear hunt, make the most of the school break with these fun things to do.

Active Holidays Program

The countdown to our Active Holidays program, running from 29 June to 11 July, has begun. If you’re having a ‘staycation’, there’s loads of activities to keep the little ones busy.

From BMX, skateboarding and scooter lessons, to hip hop classes, fishing for beginners and rock climbing adventures, there’s something for everyone.

Spots are limited so be sure to check out the full list of activities and make a booking.

Libraries, Galleries and Museums

Scratching your head over how to keep your family entertained over the school holidays? Don’t stress! There’s lots of online activities that your kids will love and so will you!

Families can enjoy the fun of storytelling, acting and imaginative play with a virtual bear hunt at home. Or take part in a self-defence online workshop with a former detective.

Transport your family to one of our current art exhibitions through a virtual tour of Simon Degroot: Constructive and Built Forms. You can also get creative with over 20 activities that you can enjoy from the comfort of home.

Don’t forget that the school holiday is also a great time to start working on your submission for the 2020 Moreton Bay Region Youth Art Awards. Entries are now open.

See what’s happening at your local galleries and museums.

Keep up to date with our library school holiday activities.

Environmental Centres

The region’s three environmental centres have reopened for school holidays and are offering guided nature walks through the Caboolture Region Environmental Centre on 1 July, Osprey House on 8 July and Kumbartcho Sanctuary on 9 July. Book your spot as numbers are limited.
