Holidays are the perfect excuse to hit pause and spend time with your loved ones. So, why hold back during these Easter Holidays? Grab the opportunity to spend time with your little ones and open a whole new world of fun and adventure before them.
There are a number of things to enjoy during the Easter Holidays in Sydney. We have listed a few activities to help you plan your holidays better. Be it a Sydney lunch cruise, an amusement park visit or a special Easter event, we’ve got it sorted for you.
Sydney Royal Easter Show
An Easter Holiday is incomplete without an Easter activity. The Royal Easter Show is Sydney’s signature Easter activity. ‘Animal Walks’, fairs, parks, agricultural shows await your young ones. Spending time with animals can be a fun experience for them. (Bonus: Children get to pet them with fun activities like ‘Pat a Dog’, ‘Pat a Chick’ and ‘Pat a Pig’.)
The show also holds cultural and historical importance, with the first show having been held in 1823. Hosted at the Sydney Showground at Sydney Olympic Park, it is also one of the largest ticketed events in Australia. So, why miss out on a really fun activity for your kids? Do it the Aussie way!
Fairfield Easter Fair
After alpha, comes beta. But in Sydney, after the Royal Easter Show, comes the Fairfield Easter Fair. Held at the Fairfield Showground from April 17–April 21, this event will be a “Whoa!” moment for every little one. Every adventure you seek under one roof: Pig races, wild motorbike show, stilt walkers and children’s all time favourite—circus show. You could end your day by watching fireworks lighting up the sky with Easter colours.
Find the Spark at Luna Park
What better way to make a child’s day memorable than by taking them to an amusement park. In the history of trickbooks, this is the one trick that always works. One of the famous Sydney tourist attractions, the Luna Park—with its unique Aussie charm—is a must-do for some family fun by the harbour!
This restored 1900s amusement park is definitely all about ‘amusing’ children. Its harbour-front geography definitely sets it apart from other ones. If your kids (or even you) are fans of the series ‘Stranger Things’ or ‘Squid Games’, Luna Park will definitely feed into that fantasy.
Lunch with a Punch on a Cruise
A delightful lunch cruise would be a magnificent addition to your things to do on the Easter weekend. Keep your Saturday free to take a break from the Easter hustle of the city and enjoy the magnificence of the Opera House & Harbour Bridge on a Sydney Harbour cruise. There is nothing like a cruise experience to pique your kids’ interest with a different perspective of the harbour. With delectable food and drinks, a lunch cruise on a luxury boat can definitely be counted as ‘quality’ family time.
If you want to explore more water activities, join in for a Jet Boat Ride on Sydney Harbour with your kids. The sudden stops and spins, with water splashing all over, will be an adventure that your kids will boast about at school. You also get to see the Taronga Zoo and the Clark & Shark islands along with the fun.
Easter Egg Hunts
Dive into the quintessential Easter spirit with the classic ‘Easter Egg Hunt’! This centuries-old celebration is all about joy and togetherness. There are numerous hunts scattered all over Sydney, the popular ones being:
So, what are you waiting for? Round up the kids and plunge into the true Aussie Easter spirit.
