Stressed about school holidays? We’ve found a solution that won’t break the bank

Posted on

We’ve all been there – staring down the barrel of school holidays with a growing sense of panic about how much it’s all going to cost.

Between meals out, entertainment, parking fees, and those inevitable “but Mum, can we get…?” requests, a family day out can quickly spiral into serious budget territory. And that’s why you should be excited about Marketplace Gungahlin’s revamped KidVenture Fun Pass – because it’s back, just in time for the school holidays.

But you better get in quick – because there’s only 25 left for grabs.

Helping families who want to make the most of their holiday time without the financial stress, for just $30, the pass is offering $70 worth of treats, meals, and experiences – but here’s what makes it special: these aren’t random offers that you’ll never use.

Every single voucher is for something families actually want during a day out. The free parking alone saves you the usual ‘I’m leaving the house’ headache, while the $20 Mr Pasta lunch voucher means you can actually feed the family without that sinking feeling at the register. Add in a Gelatissimo scoop for the kids (because let’s be honest, ice cream is non-negotiable), a small coffee from Creamery & Co. to keep you going, and a medium Boost Juice or smoothie for whoever needs the extra energy hit.

But the real winner? That $20 Book Face voucher. Finally, a pass that acknowledges kids need more than just food and sugar – and they need entertainment that doesn’t involve screens.

You’ll need to be quick on that keyboard, and you’ll need to collect your pass from Centre Management by Friday 26 September, so also factor that into your planning.

For Canberrans looking for a stress-free family day that doesn’t come with budget anxiety, this might just be the school holiday hero you’ve been waiting for.

Ready to grab your pass before they’re gone? Book your KidVenture Fun Pass now on Eventbrite. And if you’re looking for even more to do, don’t worry because plenty happening these school holidays at Marketplace Gungahlin, from decorating drum kits to painting a Hollywood film strip!
