Rainy day activities for kids in Doonside are mostly classes and library spaces, with a few more options in nearby Blacktown. The list is short for now, and we're still adding more indoor options.
Indoor places and classes in Doonside
- Iris Art Studio is listed. Ask about classes and whether children can drop in.
- Lotus Yoga Kids Quakers Hill is listed under Doonside. Ask where classes are held and which ages they suit.
- Shihan Franks Karate Academy is listed. Ask about trial classes and the ages it takes.
- Blacktown City Physie Club is listed. Ask about age groups and how often it meets.
- Libraries: a School Library and a Library Building are listed in Doonside. Check who can use each one and when it is open, because a school library may not be open to the public.
Good to know
The Criminal Process, a UNSW Youth Legal Workshop in Blacktown, is an indoor event we have listed. It is for young people, so check the age range and booking details with the organiser.
The soccer clubs and the bushcare meet up at Nurragingy Reserve are not here, because they happen outdoors. This guide only covers indoor options.
If you are happy to drive, Quakers Hill, Plumpton, Rooty Hill and Blacktown are close by. Our Blacktown guide lists more indoor places.
Ideas for a wet day
- Start with what is closest to home. Wet weather and long drives don't mix well with children.
- Phone ahead. Class times and opening hours can change, and it is better to know before you leave.
- Ask about a trial. A one-off class is an easy way to fill a wet afternoon.
- Bring snacks, a drink bottle and a change of clothes.
- Pair a lively class with a quiet one, such as yoga or the library, so the day has a good balance.
