Join the thousands that flock to Geelong’s spectacular Waterfront to revel in the New Year’s festivities with family and friends. This year we welcome a whole new range of FREE interactive activities, rides and entertainment for kids of all ages. If you haven’t been to ANZ Family Day on the Waterfront before, don’t just hear about it, become a part of it.

With entertainment for all ages, the ANZ Family Day on the Waterfront is a true family affair! We have Roaming Reptiles coming along. A great interactive reptile experience where you can see and hold snakes ranging from babies to large snakes, turtles, lizards and crocodiles. Don’t miss the crocodile feeding show live on stage. There is Steve and Tracy’s mobile petting zoo complete with lambs, kid goats, piglets, rabbits, guinea-pigs, ducks and chickens. There will be a bottle feeding session, too cute to miss! Roaming around in the crowd will be 4m giant butterflies, magicians, face painters, unicyclists, acrobats and balloon artists. Learn to juggle with Kids Place or paint a picture with Glitter Monkeys...all for free!! Our superb MC Andrew Gill will keep you informed and entertained on the stage along with many great acts to keep the children, and the child in you, smiling, happy and clapping along to the music. Jumping castles and rides will keep the children entertained for hours and best of all... it is all FREE!! Take a short stroll down to the Waterfront Youth Activity Area for Chill Out by the Shore. Three great bands from 1.00pm – 4.00pm, munch on some snags, snow cones, play X-box, or indulge in your creative side with jewellery making and art activities. http://www.familydayonthewaterfront.com.au/
