Designed for beginners through to intermediate riders, the lessons go beyond simply riding. Kids learn how to groom, tack up and understand horse behaviour while building confidence in the saddle. The program follows natural horsemanship principles, helping children connect with the animals while learning practical riding skills.

For families looking to swap screens for paddocks, it’s a memorable way to spend a morning outdoors.

2. Tee off at White Ridge Farm’s quirky putt-putt

Mini golf gets a rural twist at White Ridge Farm, where the newly opened putt putt course sits alongside one of the region’s favourite farm attractions.

3. Dig into Ancient Greece at the Abbey Museum

For curious young minds, the Abbey Museum of Art & Archaeology turns history into a hands-on adventure during its school holiday program, Kids Dig It! Ancient Greece Family Fun.

Children aged five to 12 can try archery, paint their own Greek-inspired pottery, uncover artefacts in an archaeological dig and create themed crafts to take home. Interactive workshops and games bring the ancient world to life while families explore the museum’s fascinating collection.

It’s a chance to swap textbooks for hands-on discovery – and maybe spark a lifelong love of history.

 

4. Become a wizard for a day in Samford Village

In the leafy village of Samford, kids can step into a magical adventure with The Owl Tasker, a real-world puzzle quest created by The Store of Requirement (known as the Harry Potter Shop!).

Armed with a special device and guided by an app, players explore the village solving clues and completing “magical jobs” posted by witches and wizards. Teams have just one hour to earn enough coins to activate a teleportation device and escape.

The experience blends scavenger hunt, escape room and storytelling – and is just as entertaining for parents as it is for kids.

 

5. Celebrate Easter by the sea at Redcliffe Markets

When Easter arrives, Redcliffe’s iconic foreshore markets turn festive with the Redcliffe Markets’ Easter Extravaganza.

Families can browse artisan stalls, enjoy street food and soak up the lively atmosphere along the waterfront. With live entertainment, sweet treats and a playground nearby, it’s the kind of relaxed outing where kids can roam, snack and enjoy the buzz of a seaside market.
