Alice in Wonderland Is Back in Sydney and It’s the Ultimate Easter School Holiday Plan for Families

Alice in Wonderland is back, and if you’ve ever tried to plan a school holiday activity that keeps both kids and parents happy, this is one of those rare finds that actually delivers.

Set within the stunning Royal Botanic Garden Sydney, this isn’t your typical sit-still, whisper-quiet theatre experience. It’s immersive, open-air and full of energy, giving kids the freedom to laugh, react and completely lose themselves in the story, while parents can actually relax and enjoy it too.

We’re big fans of this production, and honestly, the setting is half the magic. There’s something about being outdoors, surrounded by greenery, that instantly shifts the vibe. You can pack a picnic, bring a rug, and turn the whole experience into a slow, easy family outing rather than a rushed in-and-out activity.

From the moment Alice tumbles into Wonderland, kids are hooked. The White Rabbit is as frantic as ever, the Mad Hatter’s tea party brings the chaos in the best way, and the Cheshire Cat delivers just the right amount of mischief. It’s colourful, interactive and genuinely funny, which means parents won’t find themselves checking the time halfway through.

What makes this show stand out is how effortlessly it blends storytelling with experience. It’s not just about watching, it’s about being part of it. The open-air format gives it a relaxed, festival-like feel, and the characters feel closer, more engaging and more memorable for kids.

Why Parents Love This One

It’s easy, relaxed and genuinely enjoyable. You’re not rushing in and out of a theatre or stressing about keeping kids quiet. Instead, you’re sitting outdoors, surrounded by nature, with a picnic in hand while the kids are completely absorbed in the story. It feels like quality time, not just another activity to tick off the list.

Perfect for kids aged four and up, it’s one of those rare experiences that hits the sweet spot between entertaining and engaging, without being overwhelming. It’s playful, imaginative and just structured enough to hold attention, while still feeling light and fun.
