Helping families to make informed choices this Easter holiday

As families in Jersey get ready for the school Easter holidays, it’s easy to feel the pressure to plan days out, book activities, and keep everyone entertained — all while trying to manage rising household costs. So, to help you out, the Jersey Consumer Council has pulled together a comparison of popular paid activities, alongside a reminder of just how many brilliant free options we have right here on our doorstep.

Our goal is to help you make informed choices, avoid unexpected costs, and enjoy the Easter break without spending more than you can afford to.

From swimming and soft play to heritage sites and the cinema, prices can vary widely – especially when booking for a family. Our table of Easter school holiday activities gives a clear breakdown of entry fees, family options, and membership choices, so you can compare what offers the best value for your household.

One of our Council Members has compiled this list of popular activities and their fees:

You don’t need to spend money to make memories

But while these paid experiences can be great, they’re not the only way to enjoy the Easter holidays. You don’t need to feel the need to spend money to have fun.

Jersey is full of amazing places and opportunities that cost absolutely nothing, and sometimes these make the best family days out of all.

Choosing free activities doesn’t mean compromising on fun and you’ll still enjoy quality family time together.

Here are some fantastic free options for the Easter holidays:

Parks and playgrounds

Jersey has many well‑designed, recently upgraded parks that are perfect for little explorers. Try a new one each day and make your own Easter ‘park trail’.

Beach days

Whether it’s sandcastle competitions, rockpooling, or kicking a ball around, our beaches offer endless entertainment at no cost.

Picnics

A homemade picnic at a park or beach can feel like a treat, and it’s far cheaper than eating out.

Millbrook Park

Perfect for water play on a sunny afternoon.
