In spring, the hugely popular and free Dinosaur Discovery experience will be back! There will be animatronic dinosaurs with plenty of photo moments from 22 September to 5 October. Dinosaurs are also now a permanent feature at EWE Nique Hobby Farm . Their experience features replica dinosaurs, lush plants, birds and fish – and all the farm animals of course!

Santa-themed escape room If your children love solving puzzles, then why not let them unleash their inner detective at Seraphim Escape Rooms. Working together as part of a team, the kids will enter a specially designed themed room where they will need to put their heads together to find the clues, solve the puzzles, and unlock the door in a certain time frame. This activity is perfect for children that are a little older and love a good challenge. Children’s Gallery The Ipswich Art Gallery run children’s exhibitions during the holidays. The exhibitions are always changing so there’s something new to explore. Ipswich Libraries The award-winning children’s library features free school holidays activities. There are also interactive experiences inside the library. Ipswich Nature Centre The Ipswich Nature Centre in Queens Park is open seven days a week during school holidays.
