Hare this! Hare this!

COULDN'T BE HAPPIER... KidsTown was a hive of fun and activity all through the Easter weekend, with children and families enjoying a range of exciting activities, including scavenger hunts, giant bubbles, native snakes and lizards, face painting and glitter tattoos. But Easter wouldn't be Easter without a visit from the Easter Bunny. Pictured with the fun-loving, long-eared fellow is (from left) Lylah Baldi (7) with Oaklen (3) and Havana Mott (4).

Easter fun and school holiday entertainment

OVER the Easter long weekend, KidsTown hosted an egg-citing, four-day event filled with loads of Easter family fun.

From Good Friday to Easter Monday, kids and their families were thoroughly entertained with a range of activities, despite the inclement weather.

With map in hand and eyes on the prize, Start Outdoors had kids and families traversing KidsTown in all directions as they searched high and low for clues during orienteer-style scavenger hunts, while the Easter Bunny hopped in, to greet and meet one and all with a cheeky shake of his tail.

With mad giggles and shouts of glee filling the air and mixing with giant bubbles and bouncy balls, white-coated technicians from twistedED science were on hand to keep kids of all ages smiling as ever popular face painting and glitter tattoos drew the crowds.

With patches of sunlight shining a spotlight over Easter Sunday and Monday, kids were able to get up close and personal with native wildlife thanks to volunteers from BoHollow Environmental Education, as well as enjoy sensory play and craft activities to round out a thoroughly egg-cellent long weekend.

Further fun throughout the school holidays is sure to continue with a range of activities across the region on offer.
