Overview
Brave the cold weather this month with a trip to the Hunter Valley. Aside from the excellent vinos you'll be sipping, you'll also get the chance to explore Australia's (and the Southern Hemisphere's) largest display garden — Hunter Valley Gardens. And, this chilly season, the gardens have been transformed into a winter wonderland.
Running until Sunday, July 21, Hunter Valley Garden's Snow Time in the Garden is the perfect addition to a weekend getaway to the Hunter. Kidults, you can expect ice skating, a toboggan slide, wintry carnival rides and snowy activities aplenty.
And, we're giving you the chance to enjoy it all — and then some — without spending a dime. You and a mate will score a double pass ($68) to Snow Time in the Garden, which includes free access to the outdoor ice skating rink and a 40-metre ice toboggan course. You can also check out the igloo cave and the snow play zone, which will ensure plenty of snowman building, snow angel making and friendly snowball fights.
You'll also have unlimited access to the Gardens' four carnival rides, including a 25-metre-high ferris wheel, flying swings, the Venetian carousel and a giant slide. And, when all this snow time gives you a chill, head to the cafe, where you'll be treated to a complimentary lunch.
