Kids Take Over 2024

Get creative these school holidays with live stage shows, exclusive workshops and inspiring adventures!

Explore an enchanted forest, enjoy a Roald Dahl classic on stage, imagine life on other planets, discover what happens in the Gallery after dark...and so much more!

This year, Kids Take Over children’s festival is bursting with free and ticketed workshops, creative experiences, performances, and everything in between. 

Perfect for kids aged 3 to 12 (and a few options for teens!), it's the ultimate memory-maker, boredom-buster, and creative play festival for kids on the Gold Coast. Stand back and watch the next generation unleash their imaginations and take charge as kids take over at HOTA.
