School holidays are magical, memorable… and just a little bit chaotic. At Southport Sharks, we know the juggle of keeping the kids entertained, everyone well-fed, and still carving out a moment to catch your breath.
That’s why we’ve made it easier than ever to enjoy the break without the stress of planning every detail. From fun-filled outings to laid-back moments and crowd-pleasing meals, we’ve got plenty of ways to fill the calendar with activities your family will love (and you will too).
Get ready for your best school holidays yet — this is your go-to guide for a perfectly balanced lineup.
Let’s start with Wobbygongs Kids Fun Zone.
In the mornings, Wobbygongs transforms into a créche — perfect if you’re keen to squeeze in a sauna or workout at our Fitness Centre. If there’s space, walk-ins are welcome, and our creche team will keep your little one busy while you take a much-deserved moment for yourself. New to the gym? Dive into a 7-day free trial, or check out our membership options. It’s a great time to build something for you into the holiday routine.
In the evenings, it’s your golden ticket to a meal and a moment. While the kids dive into rock climbing, games, movies and more in a fully supervised space, you can settle in at Frenzy’s and enjoy dinner without the juggling act. Kids eat free on Mondays, and in July, the buffet gets a festive glow-up with Christmas in July — roast meats, pudding, and all your seasonal favourites. From Friday – Sunday, the spread is even bigger with the inclusion of muscles, prawns and more. On Friday’s and Saturday’s live music kicks off at 8.30PM to round out the night.
When the day calls for something low-key, head to BOX Coffee Co. for hot chocolates, coffee and cookies in the sun. The vibe is easy, the seating is pet-friendly, and it’s a great go-to when you want to get out of the house without doing anything too complicated. Bring the dog, bring the kids, grab a bite. It’s a little outing that feels like a treat for everyone.
And for something worth marking in the calendar, Saturday 12 July is your day. Our QAFLW team takes on Bond University in a Grand Final rematch at Fankhauser Reserve. It’s footy, fresh air, and a fun family afternoon. Pack a picnic or dine in at the club, find a spot along the boundary line, and enjoy watching Southport in action. See the full event details here.
Sundays bring the best of both worlds, with a relaxing buffet breakfast in the morning, then dinner and the LOL Crew Kids Show in the evening to wrap up the weekend with some laughs and full bellies. From the second week of the school holidays, members can also enjoy weekday buffet breakfasts at the exclusive price of $25 per adult, perfect for when you want to ditch the cereal and start the day out right.
And before you head home? Stop in at Fin’s Cellar to check out our July specials — with bundle deals and take-home treats that’ll help you stock up and wind down.
The holidays don’t have to be a juggling act. With a few great options and flexible plans, you can fill the calendar with fun, food, and moments that stick. Whether you’re looking for active adventures, easy outings, or reliable family time, Southport Sharks has it all lined up for you.
If you’re not already a member, sign up for a Southport Sharks Membership these holidays and enjoy exclusive savings across dining, Fin’s Cellar, and family activities; it’s the easiest way to get more out of every visit.
