31 December 2012, by Brisbane International Tennis

Fancy a fun family day out on New Year’s Day? Suncorp SunWise Kids Day at the Brisbane International is the place to be.

Suncorp SunWise Kids Day swings into action at 10am on 1 January and all kids will receive a free accreditation pass prior to entering the precinct and be supplied with a free show bag full of goodies.

Kids 16-years-and-under can attend for free and there will be activities for people of all ages and tennis abilities to enjoy.

“The idea is for kids to come here and enjoy themselves and meet some of their tennis heroes,” said Cameron Pearson, Brisbane International tournament director.

“Last year was the first time this event was staged and more than 2000 kids attended the Queensland Tennis centre on this day,” he added.

Some of the activities on offer include:

  • Meeting some of the stars
  • Autograph signing
  • Great live tennis
  • Face painting
  • Wildlife
  • Tennis Hot Shots
  • Art and craft tent
  • Show bags
  • Jumping castle
  • Rock climbing
