Minecraft movie to wobbling pancakes – Queen Street Village is chock-full of school-holiday fun
With Easter and school holidays just around the corner, it’s time to start planning some fun! If you want to skip the crowds at big shopping centres and enjoy a one-stop destination for popcorn-filled cinema sessions, kid-approved eats and a spot of shopping, then hop to Queen Street Village in the heart of Southport.
School holidays bring all the excitement of new movie releases, and budding film buffs will be pleased to know that Dendy Cinemas at Queen Street Village will be showing all of the big-name favourites this autumn. Visit the Candy Bar for popcorn and choc-tops then settle in for Disney’s Snow White, the hilarious Dog Man, the Oscar-winning Flow or join Jack Black and Jason Momoa for a laugh-out-loud adventure in A Minecraft Movie. Plus, make the most of the special Family Saver offer – passes for a family of three are just $43, or you can grab a four-person family pass for just $58.
You’re bound to hear “I’m hungry” or “what’s for lunch?” more than once these holidays, but don’t worry – Queen Street Village is stacked with dining options to suit even the fussiest of taste buds. Grab fresh rolls or bowls at Say Sushi, bao buns from Bun Bun Bao, or flock to The Fish Tank for a round of burgers or a crowd-pleasing serve of fish and chips. Craving something sweet? Follow your nose to the bakery at Jones & Co. IGA where you’ll find a mouth-watering selection of freshly baked pastries, tarts, cakes, muffins, cookies and more – there’s also a huge range of chocolate eggs if you’re planning an Easter hunt. For something a little different these holidays, experience the famous ‘wobbling’ Japanese souffle pancakes at Sens Coffee Co. Parents can unwind with a much-needed hit of specialty coffee and a tasty brunch, while the kids choose their pancake toppings and watch on as the eye-popping creations wobble at the table. Plus, there’s an open-air playground right nearby that’ll keep the kids occupied while they wait.
If you’re chasing Easter gifts for the kids, set some time aside to visit Dollie Boutique. The renowned retail space, which embraces inclusivity, support and sensory needs, is stocked with an incredible range of clothing, toys, books and accessories for children and babies. Discover brands like Rock Your Baby, HUXbaby, Maeve & Sea, Tropictrucker Australia, Walnut, Dr. Martens, Beau Hudson and more, as well as women’s clothing by Walnut and Quincy Mae.
