Think 3infun for school holiday fun!
Posted by threesides on Tuesday, December 20th, 2011Looking for some family-friendly activities in the nation’s capital these school holidays? A 3infun Canberra super ticket lets you visit the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), Cockington Green and Questacon—The National Science and Technology Centre for 10 per cent less. PLUS you get a return visit to the attraction of your choice.
First stop: Cockington Green Gardens. The gorgeous manicured lawns, beautifully landscaped gardens and attention-to-detail miniature buildings and features will leave you amazed, and the kids will delight in the Miniature Steam Train and interactive displays. The multicultural area — with structures ranging from world-famous icons to traditional villages — is not to be missed.
Next stop: a tour of the Australian Institute of Sport. See top athletes in action from sports such as basketball, swimming, volleyball and more, then see how you measure up at Sportex. With over 15 sporting simulation exhibits, Sportex will have you running, jumping, lifting and stretching — you might even find some hidden sporting talent!
Finally, jump into the excitement of Questacon, with its recently opened Q Lab sure to delight people of all ages. Q Lab is a dynamic and experimental environment that allows you to ask questions and find your own answers. Look at the world differently with microscopes and high-speed slow-motion footage. See live scientific demonstrations performed by Questacon’s science communicators and visiting scientists. And of course, there is still the great range of other Questacon exhibits on offer.
So grab your 3infun Canberra ticket and enjoy the best of Canberra this summer.
