It’s almost school holiday time and while it’s a bit colder in June than it was during the January holidays, there are still hundreds of great things to get up to while you're off from school. At Inner West Orthodontics we’ve spoken with a number of our school-aged Orthodontic clients about their plans for June Holiday activities and we have combined some of their ideas with our own to come up with a list. We’ve made sure our suggestions suit a range of budgets so you can save your pocket money. Get your creative juices flowing with our ideas for holiday fun.

Cool things to do that cost nothing:

June Holiday Activities don’t need to be expensive. There are a number of things to do that cost nothing.

• The Bondi to Bronte walk is a beautiful coastal track that offers some glorious views. Take some photos on the way or make it a race, it’s a great place to spend the day. The entire walk is around 4km long and by the end of it you’ll be ready for a milkshake or treat to replenish your energy levels.
• Pack a picnic and get ready for the biggest game of hide and seek ever played at Sydney’s Botanic Gardens. With a great view of the harbour the gardens are full of good hiding spots, bring a blanket and a hat so you can relax with your friends on the lush grounds afterwards.
• If you prefer leafier surroundings head to Sydney’s Olympic Park. Bicentennial Park is home to mangroves and a number of scenic walks, bring your bike to take advantage of the tracks or you can hire one from the bike shop (at a cost of $20).

June Holiday Activities for less than $20

• Hire a kayak with a friend. For $40 you can get a double kayak from Rose Bay Aquatic hire and soak up the beautiful Sydney Harbour views for an entire hour. Try not to capsize though!
• See the new Jurassic World movie at Hoyts on a Tuesday for less than twenty bucks. Every Tuesday is Cheap Tuesday during the school holidays, meaning you can check out the movies you want to for less. (is your phone with optus? they do $10 tickets too!)
• Everyone has been on a trampoline but have you ever been to a trampoline park? Sky Zone in Alexandria is an indoor trampoline park that literally allows you to jump off the walls. For $18 you will have an hour of jumping time and a special pair of Sky Zone socks to help you grip.
• Head to the Powerhouse Museum these holidays for just $8. It’s one of Sydney’s largest and most diverse museums with a number of interesting exhibits, many of which are interactive. Think holographic images, touch screen computers and science experiments.

• Have you ever seen a Dugong in real life? At Sea Life Aquarium in Darling Harbour Dugongs are the newest additions. The tickets are only $25 and you will see sharks, stingrays and octopi while you’re there too.
• Sydney Dance Company is one of the most famous Dancing Schools in the country. There are a number of classes on these holidays ranging from beginner to advanced. A casual class only costs $22, put on your dancing shoes and head to Walsh Bay. (Must be 16 or over)

• Have you ever been indoor rock climbing? Sydney’s Climbfit offers a session with harness and shoe hire for just $23. It’s harder than it looks and a lot of fun.
• Head down to Luna Park in Milson’s Point and get yourself an unlimited rides pass for $49.95. With the Wild Mouse, the Big Drop and the Ferris Wheel you will be running on adrenalin all day.
• Catch a movie on the biggest screen in Australia at the IMAX theatre. For $29.50 you can watch a movie in 3D and have an experience like no other movie theatre in Sydney.
