Kids go free September school holidays

Back by popular demand, Port Phillip Ferries are once again flinging open the ferry doors for kids to travel free across the September School holiday period.

Children aged from four to 16 can jump on the ferry (with their parents or guardians) free of charge staring from Saturday (September 17).

This offer will be available right across the school holidays until Sunday, October 2, so there’s plenty of time to jump aboard and embark on an adventure with the family.

With the huge success of this offer over the past school holiday period, Port Phillip Ferries Marketing Manager Brad Wright said it was great to see so many kids and families get out and about over the cooler months.

With inside and outside seating available, it’s a great opportunity to travel in a safe environment and get a dose of fresh air as you cruise across the bay to or from Melbourne.

And you may even spot the odd dolphin or seal along the way.

The journey itself is something the kids will want to do again and again, but apart from the ferry ride it’s all about the destination and there are so many great school holiday activities happening in and around Melbourne, so why not make getting there a part of the adventure?

From Imaginaria, ice skating and the Artvo gallery in District Docklands, to all the AFL finals at the MCG, there’s plenty of free, low-cost and virtual events that will entertain the whole family in and around Melbourne.

Added to this Port Phillip Ferries have opened their brand-new Melbourne Ferry Terminal, a brand-new modern facility in Docklands where the ferry pulls in.

It has all the creature comforts included: accessible toilets, a tourist information hub, and a full-service café with lots of tables and seating where you can enjoy a drink and a bite to eat while you’re waiting for the ferry.

To take advantage of this offer simply type PPFKidsFree into the promo code field under your children’s name in the booking system.
