How often: Annual
Enjoy a great day out at the award winning Maru Koala and Animal Park in Grantville for the annual Grantville Pirate Festival. Play a round of Pirate Pete's mini golf as you putt your way around the 30 metre pirate ship and encounter life-size pirate figures, including Captain Jack Sparrow. Enter the gold mine under the five metre thunderous waterfall. Watch out for the 'grouch' in the old outback dunny and see the Great White Shark.
Win great prizes when dressed in your best pirate gear in dress-up competitions for all ages. Meet Pirate Pete along with several other roving pirate entertainers and get your face painted or a temporary tattoo. See Captain M.T.Head's stage show, 'Climb the Mast' or ride 'Shipwreck Survival'. Join in the pirate games such as fishin' for gold, bobbin' for squid and the wooden leg throwing competition, and then lend a hand in the tug of war. Enjoy the music from the band and watch the sword display by professional martial artists.
The kids will love the jumping castles and pirate show bags. Have a professional photo taken on the Princess Caribbean Pirate Ship with one of the Pirates and a real three meter Python snake! Then meet, pat and hand feed the koalas, kangaroos and other animals in the animal park. Relax at 'Tortuga' and enjoy a bite to eat and drink in the food area as you enjoy music from the Blackberry Bush Band. One low entry fee gives you access to all areas and activities on the day.
See the Maru Koala and Animal Park website for more information about the venue. The event is held annually on one day during the March/April Easter school holiday period.
