Under the Sea – September School Holidays

Under the Sea at PARC  

Each weekday during the school holidays, kids and families can head ‘under the sea’ at PARC to explore the ocean and different sea creatures. 

Free activities will include pool games, face painting, balloon art and a colouring competition – with a chance to win a VIP Melbourne Aquarium prize pack. 

The whole family can also enjoy PARC’s popular inflatable obstacle course, Splashtown as well as the 114m Constrictor raft slide, the Python family raft ride, the award winning AquaPlay aquatic playground and main pool. 

A day out at PARC provides hours of entertainment for the whole family. Kids love challenging themselves on the Splashtown obstacles and we see parents, grandparents and children alike having a heap of fun on our water slides and the playground,” said PARC CEO Tim Gledhill.  

We know parents and carers are looking for activities to keep their kids active and entertained during the school holidays – so on top of our regular activities, we’re adding a great range of ‘under the sea’ themed activites to keep the kids occupied and interested. 

It is the ultimate family day out – it’s fun, it’s affordable and it’s local,” said Tim.
 

The PARC Holiday Program will run 11am–3pm weekdays from Monday 23 September to Friday 4 October (excluding Friday 27 September, AFL Grand Final public holiday). 

Bookings are recommended for the Splashtown obstacle course and will open Monday 16 September, CLICK HERE

A PARC day pass for the whole family starts at $26.70. Individual passes start at $7.40 for children, $9.30 for adults and $7.40 for concession.

Join us in going off social media for a day on 24 October. 

Next Friday, on Friday 24 October, we are joining Unplug24, a 24-hour break from social media in solidarity with SmackTalk – an organisation founded by local Wayne Holdsworth to honour his son, Mac, and raise awareness around suicide prevention.

Unplug24 encourages us to step away from social media and reconnect offline to:
🔌 Protect mental health
🔌 Raise awareness to prevent suicide
🔌 Support vital education and awareness programs

Last year, more than 134,000 people took part, proving that sometimes the most powerful connection is offline. This year, SmackTalk is aiming to reach over a million participants in Australia and around the world.

Let’s join together and unplug from all social media for the day – at work and at home – to show our support for this important cause.

Restart a Heart Day at PARC this Saturday ❤️💙

Join us this weekend, on Saturday 18 October, for Restart a Heart Day, a vital community event that raises awareness about cardiac arrest and empowers people with lifesaving CPR skills. 

Hosted by Monash University Paramedicine, this educational pop up in PARC's foyer will help build a safer, more prepared community.

Did you know that only 1 in 10 people survive a cardiac arrest? Most cardiac arrests happen in the home, so learning how to act fast could save the life of someone you love. Restart a Heart day will teach you how to respond in just three simple steps: CALL, PUSH, SHOCK.

Drop by PARC on Saturday morning between 9am – 12pm to learn from paramedics and paramedic students, who will be on hand to guide you through these critical steps and boost your confidence in delivering CPR. 

Every minute counts when restarting a heart – let’s work together to improve survival rates!
