When it rains in Werrington, there are indoor options close by: a library, an aquarium, martial arts schools and a couple of sports clubs. This guide pulls together what we hold so you can plan a wet day without a long drive.
Places in Werrington
Oceanarium Aquarium and Go Banana's are both listed in Werrington. St Marys Library is also listed under Werrington. We do not hold opening hours, prices or age ranges for these, so check with each one before you set out. A library visit works well as a free, low-stress fallback on a wet day.
Classes and clubs
Four martial arts schools are listed in Werrington: Shaolin Martial Arts Centres, Shilla Taekwondo, Yukan Kai Karate Do and, for a different style of training, nothing else is listed. Glenmore Park Basketball Club and Western Sydney Volleyball are also listed, and both are indoor sports. Ask each club where it trains, what ages it takes and whether a child can come along for a trial. We do not hold timetables, so contact the organiser.
Sessions in Penrith
A little further on, Penrith City Library has a robotics session and Dharug Story Time with Jasmine Seymour and the library's Children's Team. Write Out West Family Fun Day is also listed in Penrith. We do not know whether it is held indoors, so ask the organiser first. Check ages and booking for each of these with the library.
Planning a wet day
- Ring or check the organiser's page on the morning. Wet weather can change plans.
- Bring a towel and a change of socks for the walk from the car.
- Leave extra time for parking and traffic, because rain slows the roads.
- Have a back-up in mind in case a session is full.
- Pack snacks and water.
Making it work for different ages
Younger children usually do best with one short outing, such as a library session or aquarium visit. Older kids may enjoy a trial at a sports or martial arts club if there is a class on the day. Ask what suits your child's age, because we do not hold age ranges for most of these.
