KIDS GO INTERGALTIC

Get ready to step into an Intergalactic world full of shows, activities and adventures!

Enter into an imaginary space station full of surprises, take flight to another planet in the world Premiere of Into Space and follow along with HOTA's Mascot The Bin Chicken in an enchanting quest around the HOTA precinct.

This year, Kids Take Over children’s festival is bursting with free and ticketed workshops, creative experiences, performances, and everything in between.

Perfect for kids aged 3 to 11, it's the ultimate memory-maker, boredom-buster, and creative play festival for kids on the Gold Coast. Stand back and watch the next generation unleash their imaginations and take charge as kids take over at HOTA.
