Holiday HQ: Kids Fest
Spring Holidays 2025
This Spring, we transformed the school holidays into an epic celebration at Holiday HQ: Kids Fest — partnering with some of Australia’s top entertainment brands to bring the ultimate festival of adventures to life. Across two thrilling weeks, children explored theme parks, battled it out in arcade challenges, enjoyed funfair feasts, and joined in exciting circus-style activities. With Grand Final festivities and non-stop entertainment, every day was a new reason to smile, celebrate, and make unforgettable memories!
Here's what parents had to say about Holiday HQ Kids Fest:
"My 7 year old feels very included and is confident to know he'll make friends when he walks in the door. We feel like its become a community for our family, especially as we have no family nearby to help out."
"My son really loved the program this holidays. He loved the magic box and he loved the art and craft options!"
"We previously provided feedback about the incursions/themes for the day not always taking place, however, this was not the case this time. Everything planned was delivered and the kids particularly enjoyed the games during the colour relay day and also their excursion to Timezone. Thank you for making their time fun and enjoyable."
