Get Active these Spring School Holidays at Hunter Valley Gardens

Celebrate the arrival of spring with a fun and colourful family day out at Hunter Valley Gardens these school holidays.

From 27 September to 12 October 2025, the Gardens will be abuzz with activity, offering something for all ages to enjoy in the fresh spring air. Wander the Lakes Walk where gentle baby lambs await cuddles, then drift into the Amphitheatre Aviary's Butterfly House, where colourful wings flutter through dappled sunlight. The Rose Garden blooms with possibilities as face painters transform children into butterflies and mystical creatures, while the tranquil Oriental Garden invites families to craft delicate lanterns and discover the ancient art of bonsai. Weekend adventures unfold with henna artistry, warming chai tea, and fascinating beehive displays that reveal nature's secrets. The highlight arrives with the charming Spring Sailing Regatta on October 4-5, where miniature vessels dance across the water. If you’re looking for more adventure, the daily amusement rides provide an adrenaline high, while educational talks and hands-on workshops at the Pop-Up Nursery nurture young gardeners' dreams.
