School holidays

Take the stress out of school holiday planning. It's time for fun feeds and family adventures. Enjoy relaxed and chilled activities, or fast and furious fun!

Explore your way through the region. From rock pools in Point Lonsdale, to hiking in the You Yangs, or wandering the Bellarine Rail Trail.

Check out the best of what’s happening to keep the kids (and you) entertained during the school holidays!

Decide between delicious handmade goodies from My Bellarine Kitchen, checking out the newly renovated Little Creatures Brewery with their new indoor play area, or indulging in the freshest ice cream at Coffetti Gelato.

Leave the lunchboxes in the pantry and enjoy the best of what the region has to offer. There's a taste to suit everyone, and for all occasions.

Autumn activities to keep the kids busy

Whether the sun's shining or the autumn chill has set in, there's plenty to see and do in Geelong and The Bellarine for kids big and small - no matter the weather.

Take them on an adventure at Barrabool Maze Estate as they navigate the hedge maze, explore the grounds before refuelling at the onsite cafe. Or get competitive with a match of mini golf at Curlewis Golf Club or Bellarine Adventure Golf.

If the weather's not playing along, head indoors for fun play-based fun at the Museum of Play and Art, climbing walls at The Rock Adventure Centre, learning about wool and seeing the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition at the National Wool Museum or jumping around at Bounce Geelong.

Don't miss catching the new 21-hectare elephant enclosure at Werribee Open Range Zoo - which is now open. There are plenty of other Australian and global animals to admire, that's easily a daylong outing.
