Unless you have been hiding under a rock (or maybe you
have and are about the thank me), you will know that the Harry Potter
Exhibition is coming to Sydney. This exhibition includes props and costumes from
all of the Harry Potter movies along with lots of fun interactive exhibits –
you can even try your hand at Quidditch (but don’t worry, i’m sure they
won’t let the kids try out a nimbus 2000)!
The exhibition will be at Sydney’s famous Powerhouse Museum
and kids off-peak tickets are from $19, which will not only get you into the exhibition
but the rest of the museum as well, this is a reasonably priced day out that the
kids (and some big kids) are sure not to forget any time soon!
The exhibition will run from 19 November 2011 until 18 March 2012 - perfectly timed to alleviate school
holiday boredom. Full details on the exhibition and tickets are available
on the Powerhouse Museum’s website.
Before I go I want to mention a free event that your kids
are sure to love; the annual lighting of the Martin Place Christmas tree lighting and the children’s concert are both on 24 November (in Martin Place) from 6:00pm – 8:30pm and best of all is
completely free! Also be sure to make your way there via the David Jones store near St
James Station in the city, the Christmas scenes and decorations are now up in the windows and are simply
delightful!
City of Sydney’s Sydney Christmas website has all the details on the tree lighting event and plenty more Christmas happenings, oh and the kids
can email Santa from the site also – so 21st century!
I'm loving Sydney for Christmas!
