*SOLD OUT* Kids School Holiday Program 2026

ALL DATES SOLD OUT

Guide Dogs Victoria is excited to announce a Kids School Holiday Program, this summer, aimed at primary school-aged children (5–12 years old). The program combines fun, education, and hands-on experiences with Guide Dogs to inspire kindness, empathy, and learn about accessibility.

This experience will give children the chance to:

• A special sneak peek inside our puppy nursery
• See our incredible Guide Dogs show off their skills led by our expert trainers
• Learn about what it’s like to have low vision or blindness by trying out a blindfold walk and low-vision goggles
• “Crack the Code” Braille activity
• Hang out with our Ambassador Dogs with cuddles available all day

The program will run as a full-day (9:00 AM–3:30 PM) at a cost of $130 inc. GST. Includes light snacks, participants will be required to bring their own lunch on the day.

There are now three dates due to popular demand;

SOLD OUT: Monday the 12th of January

SOLD OUT: Thursday the 15th of January

SOLD OUT: Tuesday 20th of January

Places are limited — don’t miss out on this Paw-some experience!

Thank you for being part of our Guide Dogs Victoria family – we can’t wait to welcome your little ones.

This is a child-safe event and all Guide Dogs Victoria staff and volunteers are trained in child safety requirements, and have relevant probity checks.
