ENTERTAINMENT IN SCHOOL HOLIDAYS...help

[Psyber]

A bloke at work took his daughter to Monarto zoo last weekend, and he claimed that you can now feed the giraffes there !? I don't know if he was taking the mickey, but if true it could be a good daytrip for a young'un.

For a fee you can go into the pen with a keeper and pat the Cheetahs - hand-raised ones and fairly docile. I thought I might try that next time I'm over.

Went to the Western suburbs today for a day out

First stop INVESTIGATOR SCIENCE at Regency Park
Its a great place only one thing wrong a sign said it was closed December 2006

Second stop the Enfield museum at Sunnybrook Regency Park
Was open today but no one there, we entered unsuprvised and looked around for about 15 minutes
ADULT RATING 6-8 I was content, lotsa history
CHILD RATING 3-0 feMALe didnt get enthused at all

Third stop Arndale Shopping Centre
Very multi cultural these days, did some shopping
ADULT RATING 7-0 was ok, some interesting shops
CHILD RATING 7-3 she liked looking in toy shops

Fourth stop
Brocas Museum at Woodville
Not open, in the yellow pages, wasted our effort, we were in the area so dropped in

Went home, bit of a wasted day

A walk along the beach treasure hunting,not just strolling is good for the kids.

Can't help myself...

Fund raising for the PAMFC Booney?

Now to be serious, do you take a treasure hunt list before you go? Sounds like it could kill an afternoon pretty well.

Yep,make a list.

2 Cuttle fish each.3 coloured shells,etc.etc.If they are old enough to write,get them to do the list.Just be careful,you tend to walk further when looking around for goodies.
And no,there are hardly ever any $2 coins on the beach.

the above is for a great day out for any kid over the age of 4 or 5. the cost is very minimal it cost me $33 (got $6 back when returned the cars) for me and 2 kids to go for as long as we liked. great fun and very worthwhile day out.

A lot of public libraries also run school holiday programs full of lots of craft based activities.
