If you are after outdoor things to do with kids in St Marys and Mount Druitt, we have three listings so far: Sydney Zoo and Sydney Zoo Aquarium in Minchinbury, and Skypeak Adventures in Oxley Park. We don't have any outdoor events or classes listed yet, so this guide is short and honest.
Sydney Zoo in Minchinbury
Sydney Zoo is listed in Minchinbury, and Sydney Zoo Aquarium is listed separately. We don't have ticket prices, opening hours, age guidance or what is on each day, so check the zoo's own page before you go. Since the aquarium is listed apart from the zoo, ask how much of your visit will be outside and how much is undercover.
Skypeak Adventures in Oxley Park
Skypeak Adventures is listed in Oxley Park. We don't have details of what it offers, the ages it suits or any height or weight rules, so contact them before you plan. Adventure activities often have age and safety limits, so it pays to ask first.
Which suburbs are covered
Our outdoor listings sit in Minchinbury and Oxley Park. We don't have listings yet placed in St Marys, Colyton, Erskine Park or Mount Druitt, but we're still adding them. If you know of an outdoor group or place near you, the organiser can get in touch with us to be added.
Making an outdoor day work
Kids last longer outdoors with a little preparation:
- Sunscreen, a hat and a water bottle for every child.
- Comfortable shoes that can handle walking.
- Snacks and a plan for lunch, because queues can be long at busy times.
- A spare top, since the weather can turn.
- Time to rest. Little legs get tired sooner than you expect.
Check the forecast the day before. If rain is likely, ask the organiser how they handle it, and whether they offer refunds or changed dates.
Planning a visit
Travel is part of the day, so think about parking or public transport, and how long the trip home will take. Going in the morning often feels easier for younger kids, though it depends on the place, so ask the organiser what is quieter.
If you are bringing a group of kids, ask about group sizes and booking. For the latest details, use the events and clubs below and head to the organisers' own pages.
