KIDS IN THE PARK

Reporter: MEL SYMONS
 
With the end of school term upon us, Sydney Olympic Park fires up again with Kids In The Park and there even more to entertain the tin lids these school holidays.

While you might be dreading the school holidays, the kids are counting down to them. But it’s not much fun when there’s not much to do!

With the closure of Australia’s Wonderland, Sydney Olympic Park has become one of the only places in Sydney you can still take the kids for a full day of entertainment during the school holidays.

Movies, etc can be really expensive especially for bigger families, so Sydney Olympic Park has come up with a great solution – Kids in the Park! They’ve got a heap of great activities on offer to keep even the most restless kiddies amused for the entire School Holidays. And each holiday there the activities just seem to get bigger and better!
 
The holiday program will start with the Easter school holidays and includes a “gamut of family-friendly activities and entertainment” that continue every school holiday period, establishing Sydney Olympic Park as a unique family holiday destination all year round.

Not to be forgotten - Mums and Dads can also relax with morning or afternoon tea or lunch in Lilies on the Park café while kids involve themselves with the vast range of activities, tours and play equipment on offer.

With an abundance of activities, Kids in the Park promises to put the fun back into holidays.
