The City of Perth will be alive and buzzing these spring school holidays with an array of free events suitable for all ages.
Chief Executive Officer Martin Mileham said the City was the only place to take the kids for endless, free entertainment.
“With something for everyone, the entire family can experience a memorable day out in the City,” he said.
“Plenty of creative, interactive and free activities occurring both indoors and outdoors will keep the kids entertained for hours.”
As part of City of Perth’s Spring in the City, families can experience all the excitement that comes with silent discos, laser tag, ninja training, dance workshops, an enormous five-storey tall dinosaur and so much more.
