Today marks the last day of the first school term and the school holidays are upon us. Exciting for our children, daunting for us mums! With the brutal weather the Central Coast has been copping lately, the idea of two long weeks with the kids at home might seem even more daunting.

However, Central Mums has compiled a range of different activities, suiting different budgets, age ranges and weather conditions, that will hopefully keep your family entertained and won't mean you hear the dreaded "Mum, I'm bored" at any point!

1. School Holiday Mania, The Entrance Hotel

Head on down to The Entrance Hotel these school holidays for some school holiday fun! Activities kick off on Wednesday 12th April for a family evening out to watch Finding Dory, starting at 6pm.

2. Australian Reptile Park, open daily.

A great day out is always had when you make a trip to the reptile park. Open from 9am, get ready to explore a variety of wildlife, from creepy crawlies to dangerous reptiles to cuddly critters.

Visitors are able to experience a "hands on" approach with the roaming wallabies and emus in the picnic area, with food bags available to purchase should you wish to hand feed the animals. The enormous, recently remodeled playground is sure to entertain any child and there is a cafe selling a variety of food and beverages.

During the school holidays, the park will also be showcasing a "Deadly and Dangerous" series for thrill seekers! An absolutely recommended fun day out for the whole family!
