Do you feel like grabbing the kids and the passports and having an adventure these school holidays? Maybe you want to experience life on a submarine, a sailing ship, a shearing shed or a convict ship. Fire fighter training may be your idea of adventure or interacting with dinosaurs that ruled the earth 65 million years ago may be your thing.

Well whatever your idea of adventure, the Premier's Adventure Challenge makes it possible and the kids get to go for free.

From now until 27^th January 2010, primary school kids and their families are encouraged to visit some of the top NSW galleries and museums, with kids allowed in for free on weekends, public holidays and school holidays.

Plan a trip to the big smoke to visit one or more of the fifteen Sydney museums and galleries on offer, or plan a trip out of Sydney to experience something different.

Australian icons like the Opera House, the 150-year-old Sydney observatory, the Bradman Museum, Powerhouse Museum, Museum of Fire, the Australian Museum and the Shearers' Hall of Fame along with other institutions all over NSW are participating.

You can pick up a Kids' Adventure Passport at any of the participating museums and galleries and off you go!

If you're into robots or Rubens, dinosaurs or double-decker buses, sheep or shells, farms or ferries, you will find a museum or gallery to spark your interest and your child's. As if that's not enough! Each participating institution has fun suggestions or challenges written in the Passport, and there is also a chance for the kids to get their artwork published online in the Kids' Adventure Challenge Gallery.

Here's what to do:

• Visit any of the participating museums and galleries and collect a free Kids' Adventure Passport. You have to be a primary school student (Kindergarten to Year 6). General admission is free for the Passport holder on weekends, public holidays and during school holidays only. The Passport doesn't get you into any special exhibitions that have an additional entry fee.
• Collect a stamp each time you visit.
• Collect at least three stamps to complete the Adventure Challenge.
• Fill in the tear-off page at the back of the Passport. It must be signed by a parent or guardian.
• Mail the page to:
