Prepare to freeze with excitement as the coolest event of the year returns for the July school holidays -School’s Out Winter Fest at the Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre is on from Saturday 29 June – Sunday 14 July.
Each kids ticket includes:
- 1 x City of Light Ice Rink Experience (child use only)
- 3 x Snow Slides (child use only)
- 10 x Rides (child use only)
- 4 x Adult Rider Passes (rides only)
- 1 x Adult Entry
The session times are staggered, allowing you to enter at your allocated time with ease, but once you’re inside, there’s no need to rush. You have the entire day to enjoy all the incredible attractions!
The highlight for the kids (and me!) was definitely the ice skating. It was our first stop, and the rink caters to all skill levels, offering a range of skates, including double runners for beginners. Penguin aids are provided free of charge to help everyone stay on their feet!
Please note that an adult must accompany children under five on the ice. If you’re an adult and want to join the fun, you can purchase a skating ticket from the ice rink check-in counter.
Afterwards, we explored the thrilling rides. With 10 ride passes, the kids could enjoy all the attractions or ride their favorites multiple times. The ride selection includes:
- Dodgem Drift Cars
- Dream Swinger
- Runaway Train Roller Coaster
- Fiesta Balloon
- Storm
- Taxi Jets
- Cup & Saucer
- Jurassic Temple
- Camelot Castle
Once we used up our ride passes, it was time to snow-slide into more fun! The kids loved soaring down the snowy slides, and the falling snow added a magical touch. Keep an eye out for Icewing the friendly dragon as you explore School’s Out Winter Fest!
There are plenty of cosy seating areas to take a break, and delicious snacks like popcorn and fairy floss are conveniently located near the exit. Don’t miss the coffee and donut vans for a warm treat!
Before wrapping up our snow-stopping day, the kids tried their luck at carnival games. The Games include:
- Laughing Clowns
- Rabbit Shooting Gallery
- Lucky Numbers
- Pick a Box
To top it off, they each grabbed a couple of showbags as souvenirs.
The School’s Out Winter Fest is easily accessible, located near the Elizabeth Quay Bus and Train Stations. If you prefer to drive, parking at the PCEC. Alternatively, you can check out the City of Perth website for information on their 3-hour free parking options.
