The Jindalee Hotel is leading a movement across Brisbane to give families a break by offering a massive schedule of free school holiday activities that range from interactive science to close encounters with farm animals.
A New Approach to School Holidays
With the cost of living on the rise, local parents are looking for ways to keep their children occupied without spending a fortune. The Jindalee Hotel, located at 130 Sinnamon Road, has responded by turning its traditional pub space into a dedicated zone for youth engagement.
Instead of just being a place for a meal, the venue is focusing on providing high-energy social experiences that allow children to learn and play while adults take a moment to relax in the nearby beer gardens.
Interactive Experiences and Special Guests
The programme is scheduled to run throughout the Easter break, with a heavy focus on the period between 8 April and 19 April. During these dates, the hotel is hosting a rotating calendar of events including face painting and balloon twisting. For those interested in more hands-on learning, there are dedicated sessions for “crazy science” experiments and dinosaur-themed activities.
These sessions are designed to be educational but fast-paced to suit younger audiences. Additionally, the hotel has organised character meet-and-greets where children can interact with popular figures in person.
Celebrating the Festive Spirit
The holiday fun reaches a peak during the Easter weekend itself. The hotel is bringing in a portable animal farm to give suburban children a chance to interact with livestock. Organisers have also confirmed that the Easter Bunny will be making appearances to hand out treats and take photos with local families. By combining these classic holiday traditions with modern entertainment like dance parties and discos, the venue aims to be a central meeting point for the Jindalee community during the school break.
