Toddler activities on the Northern Beaches are thin on Roolu right now. We have no toddler classes or clubs listed for the area yet, and five events around Belrose, Manly and Palm Beach. None of them says it is made for children aged 0 to 3, so treat this guide as a starting point and check before you go.
What is listed
- Litter clean-up with Belrose Eagles and Emu Parade, in Belrose.
- Ocean Festival marine litter bin challenge, in Manly.
- The Underwater Photography Competition finalists exhibition, in Manly.
- Palm Beach Rockpool Discovery Walk, an Ocean Festival event, in Palm Beach.
- Manly Snorkel Tour with Ecotreasures, an Ocean Festival event, in Manly.
Questions to ask for under-fours
The listings don't give age limits, so ask the organiser before you set out:
- What is the youngest age that can join?
- Can I bring a pram or carry my child?
- How long does it run, and can we leave early?
- Is there anywhere to sit, change a nappy or have a snack? We don't have these details.
A snorkel tour is likely to have a minimum age, so check it before you consider it.
Where to start
The exhibition sounds the easiest to dip in and out of with a small child, but we don't know the venue or opening hours, so ask. For the rockpool walk, ask how long it is and what the ground is like.
Whichever you choose, keep the plan short. A toddler's patience is the real timetable, so aim for one outing and a spare hour for rest.
Still adding
We're still adding toddler classes, playgroups and play spaces across the Northern Beaches, so this guide will fill out. Until then, the organisers' own pages are the place to confirm the latest details. If you know a toddler class we have missed, tell the organiser to claim their listing on Roolu.
