When the big kids are back at school, it's a great time to escape with the littlies for a few days of fun and relaxation and enjoy the sights without the crowds.
There's plenty to do with pre-schoolers in our family friendly park with our indoor heated swimming pools, splash pad, playground, giant jumping pillow and pedal karts. And if you can drag the kids away from the park, we've collated a list of wonderful family attractions and activities for you to explore in and around Ballarat.
