9 of the best fun days out for the family

1. GO HIKING IN THE BLUE MOUNTAINS

Head to NSW’s Blue Mountains, and use the Conservation Hut in Wentworth Falls as your starting point.

There are six tracks that take you past spectacular scenery. Visit conservationhut.com.au

2. HAVE SOME FUN AT THE ELECTRIC CIRCUS

Need something to keep the kids (and adults) entertained over the Summer break? Archie Brothers Electric Circus has opened in Sydney with something for everyone. Carousels, dodgem cars, prizes and crazy shakes (that need to be seen to be believed).

You can also grab a bite to eat at Dazzler's Diner, not to mention an amazing bowling alley to get competitive. Visit archiebrothers.com.au.

3. SMILE AT A CROCODILE

Visit the fascinating Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory to see Sweetheart, the 5m saltwater croc that once roamed local billabongs.

There’s also a Cyclone Tracy exhibition, as well as free kids activities.

Visit magnt.net.au for more details.
