PARC Treasure Island – Summer School Holiday Program January 2024

Ahoy matey! Get ready for a summer of swashbuckling fun at PARC!  

Gather your pirate crew and explore a far away Treasure Island, right in the heart of Frankston!  

Begin your pirate adventure at PARC these school holidays where we have created the ultimate escape for the whole family. Sun too hot outside? No problem, PARC’s got you sorted with an indoor Treasure Island school holiday program, suitable for children of all ages.  

What’s in store? 

Hunt for buried treasure, zip down the waterslide, explore the multi-story aquatic playground, splash bucket and meet a real-life mermaid! 

What’s on the program?  

We have a stacked program of fun pool deck activities including:  

  • Face painting
  • Balloon entertainment
  • Treasure Scavenger hunt
  • A special visit from Marianna the Mermaid 

Marianna the Mermaid is BACK! 

Back by popular demand, Marianna the Mermaid will be making a splash. 

One of our favourite sea guests is coming back to PARC! Marianna the Mermaid and her Pirate friend will be mingling with land walkers, taking photos, spreading mermaid glitter and taking lots of photos! 

Marianna will be visiting PARC on Friday 5 January and Friday 19 January. There are no tickets to meet her, but please expect a busier than usual centre.  

How do I buy tickets? 

You do not need to pre-book or buy a ticket to attend PARC Treasure Island. Instead, you must purchase an all-inclusive entry pass at PARC reception. You can view prices here on the casual entry tab.  

Unfortunately, there is no inflatable available during this time.  

The dates and details 

Our school holiday program will run weekdays from Tuesday 2 January to Thursday 25 January between 11am-3pm.  

Activities will run on select days, so be sure to check our calendar below for dates and times for all our pool side entertainment. 

We will also be hosting VIC Swim Intensives at PARC

Please expect a busier pool hall at times.  

Throughout January, we run intensive swimming lessons during the school holiday period. This can mean sections of the pool is being used by teachers and students for lessons.  

Lessons will run until 1.30pm during Week 2 of the School Holidays (8-12 Jan) so please plan your trip accordingly.  

We look forward to seeing you in Centre!
