the gifts that keep on giving
Memories in the making are guaranteed when you give kids experiences as presents - activities that can be done with loved ones and friends are the best!

Merrigong Theatre
Family Show
Introduce your little one to the wonders of live performance with a ticket to a family show. Not only will you enjoy the best prices, the best seats and other great perks, the whole family can be entertained with regular theatre throughout the year. Merrigong Theatre presents several shows during the season for children to enjoy - your kids will watch in awe up close to the magic of music, costumes and talented artists performing live. The theatre also runs Creative Camps in school holidays for older kids (ages 5 to 12) – if you have a budding drama student in your family, this is a must-do experience.
Early Start Discovery Space
Annual Membership
Inspire their imagination and curiosity at Australia’s first dedicated hands-on children’s museum – perfect for children (birth – 10 years) and adults to enjoy together. Located on the University of Wollongong’s main campus, a world of wonder awaits with interactive play spaces both inside and outside. From Crawler’s Beach (great for babies exploring and learning to walk), to an Antarctic Research Vessel (spot whales and steer the ship), a Marketplace (for grocery shopping), Critter Café (for cooking up amazing creations), a Construction area (to build walls with foam bricks and wear safety gear) and more, you could honestly spend a whole day here! An annual membership is a fantastic gift, as you’ll be able to visit the centre as often as you like at a discounted rate.

Jamberoo Action Park
Season Pass
Splash, jump and swim at NSW's largest family-owned and operated water theme park featuring world-class rides and attractions for kids of all ages and adults of course! Open from September through to April each year, a season pass is a great value option that will also give you priority entry on arrival, 10% off all in park purchases (like food and drinks) and six movies on the big screen in summer. In particular, the little ones will love the toddler zone in the Outback Bay wave pool and Billabong Beach with child friendly slides and critters like Charlie the Croc and Freddie Frog.
