Families in Albany Creek will have plenty of opportunities to keep children busy during the winter school holidays, with Moreton Bay preparing a wide range of free activities across libraries, museums, galleries and recreation venues.
From farm-themed experiences at Pine Rivers Heritage Museum to visits from alpacas and babydoll lambs, this year’s program offers a mix of hands-on learning, creative workshops and active recreation designed to appeal to children of different ages and interests.
The winter holiday schedule includes dozens of activities aimed at helping young people stay engaged during the school break while giving families affordable options close to home.
Farmyard Family Fun Day returns to Pine Rivers Heritage Museum
One of the standout attractions for families in the Pine Rivers region is the popular Farmyard Family Fun Day at Pine Rivers Heritage Museum.
The event has become a regular feature of school holiday programs and gives children an opportunity to connect with farm-themed experiences while exploring one of the area’s key cultural attractions.
The museum will also host other family-focused activities during the holiday period, helping children learn through hands-on experiences that combine history, creativity and play.
Alpacas and lambs heading to library events
Children will also have the opportunity to learn more about natural fibres and wool production through City of Moreton Bay’s Winter Woollies program. The initiative will bring alpacas and babydoll lambs to selected libraries, where families can discover how wool is processed and used in everyday products.
Live demonstrations of carding and spinning will show how raw fleece is prepared and transformed into yarn, giving children a closer look at traditional fibre-processing techniques.
The educational sessions are designed to encourage curiosity while helping children better understand the connection between farming and the products they use.
Creative workshops encourage curiosity and imagination
Libraries across the city will host a range of activities that encourage children to try something new during the holidays. The program includes beginner 3D printing workshops, improv sessions, magic shows and circus-themed experiences.
These activities provide opportunities for children to explore creativity, develop confidence and build new skills outside the classroom environment. The program aims to cater to different interests while helping young people remain engaged during the break.
Sport and recreation round out the holiday program
For children who enjoy physical activity, City of Moreton Bay’s Active Holidays program includes a broad selection of sporting and recreational experiences. Activities include target archery, hip hop dance, tennis, junior boxing, multicultural games and survival skills sessions.
Mayor Peter Flannery said Council’s school holiday program was designed to help young people stay active, explore new interests, spend time with family and create positive memories during the winter break.
