As a reward for supporting the learn from home efforts in 2021, the NSW Government has launched Parents NSW Vouchers. That means anyone who was a caregiver to a school-age child during the lockdowns can apply for up to 5 $50 vouchers, totalling $250.
Whether you want to spend your vouchers on a fun adventure to do as a family or use them to treat yourselves to a brand new experience, here are some ways to spend your NSW Parent Vouchers.
FOR YOURSELF
Axe throwing
If you are looking for an adventure with thrills, fun and the added bonus of testing out your viking skills, this is the one for you. Axe throwing is the latest adventure craze and it's popular for a reason. Bring along your partner in crime for this axe throwing session for 2 and enjoy letting off some steam by throwing axes at a bullseye.
Kayaking
Whether it’s a solo kayaking session or your bringing along your partner in crime, nothing says bliss like being out on the open water with nothing but a paddle. Explore the waterways near you and reconnect with nature with a kayaking adventure.
Scenic flight
Take some time away from the family and take to the skies with a scenic flight. From soaring across the city skyline of Sydney to taking off over coastal views of Newcastle, this is an excellent way to refresh yourself with some adventure and a brand new perspective. Enjoy $50 off with your Parent Vouchers.
Cruise
Day cruises, sunset cruises, wildlife cruises, you name it! Our huge range of cruising adventures have you covered when it comes to sailing the high seas. From watching the sunset over Darling Harbour to spotting wild dolphins in Nelson Bay, treat yourself to a boating adventure and soak up some sunshine and sea spray on your next day off.
Splash room
Have some pent-up energy left over from all those months of lockdown? Splash rooms are the ultimate release. As you throw fistfuls of colourful paint over the walls, floors and yourselves, experience a feeling of true freedom and nourish that inner child.
FOR YOU & THE KIDS
