There is lots to see and do at Centennial Park these school holidays. Check out just a few of the fun things we have spotted for kids of all ages.
Little Red Riding Hood

This roving performance at Centennial Park tells the classic tale we all know and love, with the chance for the audience to be part of the story.
Meet all of your favourite characters – the hungry wolf, the sweet and innocent Red Riding Hood, and the huntsman as they tell this delightful tale set in the forest that is as enchanting as the story itself.
