Where can you take the kids during the April school holidays without breaking the bank? The Museum of Brisbane (MoB) has the answers. From 2 to 18 April, there are many reasons to make MoB your hub for the school holidays. Best of all, entry is free.

4) Take a ride up the Clock Tower

Kids can enjoy a guided tour of the Brisbane City Hall and learn the secrets of this working civic building which has been the setting for many cultural, social and civic events in Brisbane's history.

The heritage-listed City Hall has an impressive neo-classical façade, mosaic tiles, stained-glass windows and soaring ceilings. The tour begins in the King George Square foyer on the ground floor of City Hall.
