The Central Geelong Kids Fun Program is now in its 13th year of bringing free activities, special offers and competitions to local families each school holidays.

Love Central Geelong started the program in September 2004, offering 10 free activities. The program, exactly 13 years later, has grown to 79 sessions of free activities and 27 sessions of paid activities from 14 Central Geelong businesses.

To celebrate milestone, Love Central Geelong has put together an exciting, action-packed “Creatures” themed program to keep the kids entertained. There’s an activity on every day from September 23 to October 8.

All activities are listed in the Central Geelong Kid Fun Guide – a guide to what’s happening in Central Geelong each school holidays.
