FAQ – Kids & Staying Indoors

When do I stay indoors and how do I cope with kids inside during the holidays?

The weather forecast for the rest of December into January is telling us that we’ll face challenging conditions and we may see more fires and smoke.
Plan indoor activities now for the Christmas period and school holidays. No one likes the idea of cooping children up inside over the holidays, so seek out interesting things to keep them entertained. Visit your local shopping centre, cinema, bowling alley, library or museum during periods of poor air quality.
