Easter is approaching, which means plenty of family time and enjoying egg hunts. If you happen to be in the Mother City during this celebrated holiday period, hop on a City Sightseeing red bus and make the most of it!
Easter also coincides with the school holidays, and while the southern hemisphere has the last of its warmer weather, why not take the kids out for an adventure or two?
One of the popular departure points on the red bus route, this tourist attraction is going all out for the upcoming holiday. First off, don’t miss out on getting a picture taken with the beloved Easter bunnies and getting a few delicious Easter eggs. Join the fun and immerse your children in the interactive performances held by the International Association of Theatre for Children and Young People. Also be sure to visit the LEGO Play Experience and let your little ones show off their creative streaks! The V&A Waterfront is also the home of the City Sightseeing tour office, so you can purchase your passes before you board.
