There are many mums who get excited at the prospect of school holidays. They like the fact that the routine goes out the window and they get to spend all day everyday with their kids. It heralds special times of afternoon tea and pjs all day. There are mums like that. Then there's the other sort of mum. The mum who kind of dreads school holidays because the routine goes out the window and they get to spend all day everyday with their kids. It heralds nagging and sibling punch-ups and expensive outings and cabin fever. For those mums, I've put together a short list of things to do that get the kids out the house and won't cost a stack of dollars.
The other mums might like the list too. And dads. And grandparents. In fact, as long as you're in SA, it's worth checking out.
South Australian Museum
My kids love going to the museum. We usually try to include a tram trip at the same to add to the adventure. These activities are free and best suited for kids aged 5 and up. With all activites held inside, it's a great wet weather destination.
Sleeping Beauty in Rundle Mall
If you've got a helping hand this is a great idea. Head into the city [take the bus to save on parking and add to the adventure] and set the kids and your 'helping hand' up at the show... and then sneak off to do some shopping. WIN!
Botanic Gardens
This school holiday program is great and the costs are very low. Don't forget to book though.
Hahndorf Farm Barn
The Farm Barn is particularly fun for the younger kids. It's open from 10-4pm every day and has some good family concession pricing.
Art Gallery of South Australia
Only $5 to participate in this activity. Bookings essential.
Granite Island
This is a great one. Take a drive down the coast and head out to granite island to see the penguins. Fun for the whole family and cheap as chips.
Can you suggest anything else local that the kids'll love and won't cost a fortune?
