Looking for rainy day activities for kids in Minchinbury? We'll be straight with you: our listings for the area are thin on confirmed indoor options. Most places we have are sport or outdoor venues, and we don't want to send you out in the rain to somewhere uncovered. This guide covers what we do have and the questions to ask.
What we have listed near Minchinbury
These places are listed below. We haven't been told which parts of each are under cover, so check before you set off:
- Rooty Hill Tennis & Squash Centre. Squash is normally played indoors, so ask whether kids can book a court or join a session.
- Sydney Zoo. Ask which areas and exhibits are covered, and whether the zoo's own page has a wet weather policy.
- Blacktown International Sportspark, Blacktown Football Park and Wanderers Centre of Football. Ask whether any sessions run indoors.
- Sydney Motorsport Park, Western Sydney International Dragway and Western Sydney International Speedway. These are racing venues, so check whether anything runs on a wet day.
The Bushcare meet up at Nurragingy Reserve in Doonside is an outdoor event, so it isn't a wet day pick.
Questions to ask
- Is the activity under cover or inside?
- What happens if it rains: a refund, a rebooking or a cancellation?
- Is there somewhere dry to wait between sessions?
Ideas by age
We don't have age ranges for these venues. Younger children often need a dry spot to rest, so ask about seating and cover when you call.
Planning a wet day
- Ring on the morning. Outdoor venues often decide that day.
- Pack spare clothes, towels and a bag for wet shoes.
- Keep a back-up at home, like a movie or a build-a-cubby afternoon.
- Ask about parking close to the entrance, so you're not carrying kids and bags across a wet car park.
