Just like the Easter school holidays creep up on you, so does the spending on activities to keep the kids entertained. Skip out on the eye-watering ticket prices and pay a visit to the great-value Ingenia Holiday Parks Sydney Family Easter Show this autumn. The family affair returns to the Entertainment Quarter in Moore Park, set to put the little – and not-so-little – ones in the Easter spirit without costing you a pretty penny.
This year, the festivities kick off on Thursday, April 2 and will run until Sunday, April 19. The jam-packed program features everything from high-energy motorcycle and bike stunt shows to adorable little daschund meet and greets, carnival-style games and a carousel the whole family can enjoy. There will also be an adrenaline-pumping obstacle course, dodgem cars, a thrilling reptile show where you can get up close with snakes and crocs, and an animal nursery with cuddly ducklings, chicks, lambs, goats and piglets. Of course, there will be showbags galore too.
For the first time, the event welcomes the Outback Jack Stockman Show. This action-packed spectacle features impressive horsemanship, skilled working sheepdogs and thrilling whip-cracking demonstrations. The humorous performance is sure to be a crowd-pleaser — and you might even get to join in the fun with audience participation encouraged.
Be sure to go for a wander through the Easter Basket Zone and stock up on some treats. This year they’re hosting a huge easter egg hunt and as long as you hold an Easter Hunt Basket Pass and take part, you’ll go in the draw to win the $2,000 Easter Basket Giveaway. Animal lovers will be pleased to know that April 19 is Greyhound Adoption Day where visitors could even end up returning home with a furry friend.
Entry tickets to the Ingenia Holiday Parks Sydney Family Easter Show are available at the gate but to secure your spot, your best bet is to pre-book online. Tickets cost $15 for children, $30 for adults or $75 for a family of four. It's an extra $15 to enter the Easter Basket Zone, and if you want to go on rides, you can grab a three-hour unlimited ride band or 24 coupons for $50. All of the fab shows, animal displays and demos are free with admission, but showbags and games will cost a little extra. Stress less with two hours of free parking at the multi-storey Entertainment Quarter carpark.
