Hello!

We are going on a family holiday over the week after Christmas, so we will be there for New Years Eve. So I am just wondering if anyone knew of any New years Eve events or had some ideas on how to spend the celebration with young kids 1 to 10 year olds whilst staying on the island.

What can I do with kids for new years eve in Phillip Island?

  • Good question with some good answers too! Very helpful!


  • check if early showing of fireworks in your area’
    to see
    as this may be better celebrating earlier for 2 year old take a picnic and it is free
    If you have other families with littlies too
    get them to make it a party with you
    streamers and noice blowers too
    grandparents and friends exciting for all of you


  • take as many toysas you can to keep them ocuppied as for food i make up pronto pasties they are easy for the little ones to handle and easy to make you just need puff pastry cut into 1/4s fill with mixed veg or any leftover meats, cook for 10 min till golden brown, eat hot or cold,
    hope this helps

  • I have recently been thinking the same thing. Not a lot to do with a littley.


  • Maybe make some artwork of firework?


  • Hi –
    Phillip Island is a very popular Christmas/NY destination, so there should be heaps on. I agree to check with the owner/manager of where you are staying, as they should have great local knowledge. We visited the Island Summer Carnival last year & the kids loved it http://www.visitphillipisland.com/listing/island-summer-carnival/. The Woolamai Races are also on NY Day, which could provide a fun family experience. Amanda

The Woolamai Races is on New Years Day – country races have a great atmosphere and are usually pretty geared up towards families. Enjoy. Amanda from http://www.familyfriendlyaccommodation.com.au


  • If you can get some information from the Tourist Information Centre in advance. They may post you some information about events. If you know which Council Area Phillip Island is in they may send you some information. I don’t know if you can find any information on google at all. Maybe you could contact the place you are staying at for information. If you know somebody that lives over there or in Melbourne they may be able to help you.
