CREATIVE ART SPACES, ACTIVE ACROBATS AND YUMMY SCRUMMY EGG HUNTS, PLUS ALL THE FUN OF THE FAIR WILL HAVE THE KIDS BEGGING TO GET TO LUNA PARK (NOT JUST ONCE) THIS AUTUMN SCHOOL BREAK!  Term one’s done and now it’s time for fun, so bringing the family into Luna Park more than once during 6 April to 28 April sounds like a good plan, right?
