Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring my kids to the Casey Safety Village on the weekend?
The only time the Casey Safety Village is open to the general public is for our School Holiday Programs. Please see the School Holiday Program section for more information. If you would like to be added to our mailing list, please provide us with your postal address, and we will be more than happy to send out information prior to each program.
I am accompanying my child to a kinder/school education session. Is it okay for me to bring siblings?
We request that parents do not bring along siblings to education sessions. Each education session is specifically catered to the age and number of children booked in. Siblings can be a distraction to both the attending sibling, and their peers.
Does my child need to bring their own bike/helmet to their education session?
We have helmets and bikes for student use. If you or your child wish to bring their own helmet and/or bike they may, so long as the helmet meets Australian Standards, and the bike is in roadworthy condition.
