Visit Human/Nature at AIRseum, Sydney’s newest and smallest museum.

Human/Nature examines the relationship between humans and the urban ecology in the inner west through the collection of objects. Take a journey through artificial grass, scare owls, root-clogged pipes and dozens of weeds. Human/Nature uncovers the biology, history and design of plants, animals and products while unveiling the everyday harmony and warfare on our streets.
See the world premiere of JOSEPHINE WANTS TO DANCE at Monkey Baa Theatre. 

When the ballet troupe gets into trouble on opening night they need an understudy to replace their Prima Ballerina, but who could dance the lead role? Who else could leap that high? Josephine’s talents are called upon to help save the day. Can she do it, and more importantly, does it matter that she’s a kangaroo?

Audiences aged four and over will meet Josephine, a kangaroo who loves to dance.
With Makerspace school holiday workshops, a sensational series of free creative workshops for kids aged 5 to 14 years, City of Sydney libraries have the kids covered with all kinds of free events all though the hols.
And if they like libraries, Monday 16th onwards sees free kids tours of the NSW Library. "Have you ever wondered what treasures are hidden inside the State Library? We'll explore some of the nooks and crannies of this grand old building and share stories of the Library's amazing collection items and the people who collected them. "
Museums everywhere.  Our pick is at the Museum of Sydney "Let your imagination run wild in a creative laboratory full of the sights and sounds of Sydney. Alphabetical Sydney: Creative Lab is an interactive children's exhibition that celebrates Sydney in all its diversity, from A to Z."

And there's kinds programs at the National Maritime Museum , Sydney Living Museums , the Powerhouse and MAAS and Australian Museum too.
Galleries galore.  The NSW Art Gallery has loads of free stuff for the kids.  Or how about a browse at the Dr Seuss exhibition at Harvey Gallery.  Or the wonder that is MCA.
And for the music loving kid.  Junior tours of the Opera House.
