The Port Arthur Historic Site offering FREE ENTRY for kids accompanied by the family (2 adults and up to six children under 18) on Saturdays from 24 September until 17 December. Thats a saving of $15 off the already-reduced Family ticket price! As the days lengthen and the weather starts to warm, spring is a great time to get out and about with the family to explore our amazing World Heritage-listed convict heritage.However money is tight, especially for families, so the Port Arthur Historic Site has a special deal that will give families a great day out, memorable experiences, and save money.
