School holidays are here and it seems like the previous had just lapsed. The kids can now kick off their school shoes and forget to empty their lunchboxes (yep, I’ve done that before). What will you do?
There’s only so many hiding places around the house and indoor activities you can do, which is why you should get out of the house and take them to your local cinema. This means the kids get to watch an entertaining film for two hours and you get to enjoy a little peace and quiet. Everybody wins.
Here is a list of films that will be in cinemas during the July school holidays with a synopsis, time length and rating for your convenience.

DINOSAUR TRAIN – Action/Adventure. G, 60 minutes.

So load up the car and make an appearance at your local cinema during the school holidays. I suggest you arrive at least 30 minutes early to secure tickets and avoid a queue. This way, you aren’t pushed for time and can continue being stress free. Please visit the different cinema company websites for session times and online booking.
