The Spring School Holiday Hit List The best local activities to keep the kids roaming free WORDS MIA KYRIKOS
It's no secret, 2020 is not the year we asked for. Whilst we might feel a little like we are stuck on a never-ending rollercoaster, there is no reason we can't make the most of these upcoming school holidays. Much like chickens, free-range kids are happier, healthier and are usually all tuckered-out at the end of the day – just in time to pour yourself that glass of wine. But, how do we promote the free-range lifestyle in this crazy pandemic era? Below we have rounded up the best local school holiday hits that will keep busy while maintaining that 1.5-metre distance. Newcastle Museum Take the kids and enter a whole new world! From 25 September, Colour is coming to the Newcastle Museum. Direct from Questacon; this special exhibition explores the science of colour and perception. Better yet, there are plenty of COVIDSafe interactives for the whole family to enjoy. Book tickets today from $5 for children to $25 for a family of 4. The Museum is open from Monday to Sunday each week during NSW public and school holidays. Online bookings are essential – visit www.newcastlemuseum.com.au Museum of Art and Culture Lake Macquarie Over at MAC at Lake Macquarie, there is plenty in store to keep creative minds active.
