The summer school holidays have started and if you're looking for something to do for the kids, they can get started by looking for themselves.
The Whyalla Maritime Museum is running an Aussie Animal Adventure in its gardens where kids can go looking for hidden puzzle pieces.
Join the crew from the museum these school holidays and go in pursuit of the hidden puzzle pieces in the Puzzle Piece Pursuit. Find the 12 Aussie animals guarding a puzzle box and in each puzzle box you will find a unique puzzle piece, which will get you one step closer to completing the final puzzle.
It is not only FREE to take part in the Puzzle Piece Pursuit, during these school holidays it is FREE entry for all children in family groups when they visit the museum and go for a tour of the HMAS Whyalla ship.
Take advantage of the timeless Maritime Museum, a guided tour on board the HMAS Whyalla (the first ship ever built in Whyalla) and the stunning botanic gardens with barbecue/picnic facilities and a newly established Bush Theatre.
The Whyalla Visitor Information Centre also has Steelworks Tours running during the holidays on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings (excluding. Public Holidays), which can be followed by a visit to the museum and a ship tour, so why not make a day of it?
The team at the Whyalla Visitor Centre look forward to seeing you and the family this holiday season. Contact them on 8645 7900
