The summer school holidays are well underway, and there is a ton of fun to be had.

At Scienceworks in Spotswood, the addition of the Air Playground has made for some unforgettable memories, and cost-friendly family fun.

Museums Victoria chief executive Lynley Crosswell said Scienceworks remains a great day out for the whole family.

“Scienceworks sparks curiosity and joy in young minds through hands-on experiences and immersive learning. Our summer program is a treasure trove of family fun, offering free and affordable activities for kids of all ages,” she said.

The Air Playground explores the science of aerodynamics in an interactive way using fast-moving air jets, paper planes and floating objects.

For families seeking more of the great outdoors, children under 16scan visit Werribee Open Range Zoo for free throughout the school holidays.

Acting premier Ben Carroll said these holidays, families are spoilt for choice.

“Lots of fun at low or no cost – there’s so much on offer for all ages at our museums, galleries, zoos and parks,” he said.
