Things to do around Ashbury over Easter

Looking for fun family activities to do this Easter?

There’s plenty to see and do for little ones of all ages around Ashbury, Geelong and The Bellarine during the Easter holidays.

Check out some of our faves here:

• Marvel at the magic of Anakie’s Fairy Park – a fairytale theme park with castles, cottages and caves set on a granite hill in the open countryside. Discover ancient tales and legends in this enchanting medieval land which brings classic European folklore to life.
• ⁠The trails around the Barwon River are a calm place to meander on foot and an easy (and relatively smooth) ride for kids on bikes. There’s parkland, playgrounds, picnic areas and nature reserves for breaks and picnics.
• ⁠Barrabool Maze Estate is a hedge maze set in the Barrabool hills. The whole family will have fun finding the way to the central lookout – the view is worth the effort. Afterwards, stroll through the sprawling and carefully tended gardens and enjoy a meal at the licensed restaurant.
• ⁠Children and adults alike will enjoy a round of mini-golf at The Range @ Curlewis. Navigate water, rocks and tunnels as you try your luck on this two-tiered course – go for the glow-in-the-dark balls after sunset. They also have state-of-the-art X-Golf simulators, and you can find coffee or all-day dining at Claribeaux restaurant on the grounds.
• ⁠On rainy days, head to Bounce in Grovedale where you’ll find around 50 interconnected trampolines with banked walls, dodgeball, a climbing wall, giant airbags and a ninja warrior course.
• ⁠The Rock Adventure Centre is the go for indoor climbing with over 100 routes on 25 walls and a bouldering cave, or blast through laser tag and knockdown pins.
• ⁠More mellow, the Museum of Play and Art is a widely acclaimed concept that allows young kids and their families to run riot, maybe painting an old car, immersing themselves in a digital art wall, or wandering through an interactive light tunnel.
