Bungarribee sits close to Sydney Zoo, with art classes, Physie, dance and sport in the suburbs around it. We list six events, six classes and eight clubs and venues near Bungarribee. The Summer school holidays run from 18 Dec 2026 to 27 Jan 2027 (starting in 6 weeks). Those are the NSW public-school dates, and Catholic and independent schools can differ, so check your own school's calendar.

Places to go

Sydney Zoo and Sydney Zoo Aquarium are listed in Minchinbury, and Sydney Zoo is also listed in Eastern Creek. Check the zoo's own page for the address, opening hours and entry details. We don't have any of that.

Other listings are Wanderers Centre of Football in Minchinbury, Victory Cheer and Dance and 187 Muay Thai Boxing & Fitness in Eastern Creek, and Arohana Dance Academy and Eastern Creek Pioneers Netball Club in Rooty Hill.

Classes in Doonside

  • Beginners Art Class, Intermediate Art Class and Advanced Art Class.
  • Physie for 3 to 6 years, 7 to 8 years and 9 to 12 years.

The Physie age groups are in our listing. The art classes have no ages, so ask the organiser which level suits your child and whether classes run in the holidays.

Events

  • Two bushcare meet ups, at Nurragingy Reserve in Doonside and Doonside Crescent Bushland Reserve in Blacktown. Ask the organiser whether children can join.
  • Santa's Arrival Parade at Westfield Mt Druitt in Mount Druitt.
  • Eastern Creek Viral Food Festival in Eastern Creek.
  • Future Fiestas in Blacktown and The Criminal Process: UNSW Youth Legal Workshop in Blacktown. We have no age details for these, so check before you plan on them for younger kids.

We leave out dates. The organisers publish them.

Planning the day

A zoo day is usually a full day, so give it its own day rather than adding another stop. Pack water, hats and sunscreen for outdoor visits. Book directly with organisers who ask for it, and ask about ages at the same time.
