Tinkerbell and The Dream Fairies at the Briars
If your kids have a flair for the mystical, magical and musical then this is one you don’t want to miss.

Produced by the Australian Shakespeare Company, this show is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Everyone is encouraged to go dressed in their best costume, whether that's a fairy, a firefighter, a superhero, an animal, a wizard. This family-friendly show has something for everyone but will be most captivating for the younger kids.
Enchanted Adventure, Home of Tree Surfing
Get the kids out of the house for a day for a day of fun. Nestled at the top of Arthurs Seat is Enchanted Adventure, a wonderland of activity for kids and adults-alike. For those with kids that have energy to burn, let them loose on epic Tube Slides, the Canopy Walk, or one of the Tree Surfing courses. If your kids prefer to be a bit more menatlally stimulated, then the brainteaser puzzles and magical mazes will keep them occupied for hours. Since their opening in 1997, Adventure Garden has grown into a hideaway full of mazes, beautiful gardens, adrenaline-pumping activities and peaceful picnic areas. Grab the kids and spend the day getting lost in the abundance of fun to be had.

Boneo Discovery Park
Experience a day out like no other. Nestled among 27 acres of native flora and fauna you will find Boneo Discovery Park. The activities on offer are staggering, with a vintage carousel, hedge mazes, a mini train ride and much more. For the adventure seeking guests, the Bungee Tramps and Rock Climbing Wall are truly enticing. If you’re looking for a more relaxing day with the kids, you’ll love the mini-golfing and the more traditional games on offer like Giant Chess, Checkers, Hookey, Jenga and Connect Four. As of this year, the park is also home to Sand Sculpting Australia. You’ll be able to view all the existing sculptures of the exhibition and visit the kids zone to let them run wild in the sand pits with the diggers creating their own sandy masterpieces. When you get tired from all the exploring and playing, lay out your picnic mat or grab a spot in the lakeside cafe for a bite to eat. With so much to do, you’ll want to designate an entire day for this one.
