Looking for outdoors for kids in the Hawkesbury? We list seven outdoor places across Richmond, Windsor and Londonderry, from farms and an orchard to an obstacle park. We have no outdoor events listed for the area at the moment, so this guide covers the places themselves.
In Richmond
Four listings are in Richmond:
- Riverview Produce
- Schofields Orange Orchard
- Veggies on the Terrace
- Planet X Entertainment
The names suggest produce and growing, but we haven't been given opening times, what visitors can do or whether kids can join in. Check with each one before you drive out.
In Windsor
- Willy's Christmas Tree Farm
- Hawkesbury Equine Obstacle Park
It's worth asking both what a visit involves, which ages they welcome, and whether you need to book. We haven't been given prices or age ranges for either.
In Londonderry
Tyreel Stud is the one Londonderry listing. Ask the organisers whether it is open to families and what a visit looks like.
Ideas by age
We don't have age ranges for these places, so we can't say which suit toddlers and which suit older children. When you contact a place, ask about:
- Minimum ages
- Whether a parent needs to stay close
- How much walking is involved, if you're bringing a pram
How to plan an outdoor day
- Check the weather and the opening days first. Some outdoor places only open on certain days or at certain times of year.
- Pack water, sunscreen, hats and a change of clothes. Farms and orchards can be muddy or dusty.
- Wear closed shoes.
- Combine two nearby stops, for example two places in Richmond, rather than driving between towns all day.
Outdoor days go best when the plan is simple. Pick one place, take snacks and a drink, and head home before everyone is tired. Keep a back-up idea at home in case the weather turns.
