For school holiday activities in Cranebrook, there is a good mix of clubs and venues close to home, and a few events in nearby Penrith. The Summer school holidays run from 18 Dec 2026 to 27 Jan 2027 (starting in 7 weeks). Those are NSW public-school dates, and Catholic and independent schools can differ, so check your own school's calendar.
This guide only covers what we have listed so far. Always confirm times, ages and prices with the organiser before you go.
In Cranebrook
These are listed in Cranebrook itself:
- Llandilo Golf Driving Range
- Penrith Whitewater Stadium
- White Water Rafting Penrith
- Goshin Ryu Karate Jordan Springs
- Ivy League Allstars
- Cranebrook Little Athletics
That covers water adventure, martial arts, athletics and golf practice. Clubs do not always run sessions in the school holidays, so ask whether there is a holiday session or a trial class. For the whitewater and rafting options, ask about the minimum age and any swimming requirements before you book.
Also nearby in Cambridge Park
Two more places are listed in Cambridge Park: Nepean Aquatic Centre and All Star Dance and Entertainment Studios. The pool is a handy choice for a warm day, and the dance studio suits kids who like to move to music. We do not list their holiday programs, so check with each one.
Events in Penrith
Four events are listed in Penrith: community fishing, robotics, a Dharug story time with Jasmine Seymour and Penrith City Library's Children's Team, and a Write Out West family fun day. The events below show the latest on each one. The organisers set the dates and times, and some may fall outside the break, so check before you plan around them.
Planning the days
- Mix one booked activity with one free-form day, so the kids are not rushed.
- Check the age range for each activity. We do not list ages.
- Ask about cost and whether you need to book ahead. We do not list prices.
- Allow travel time between Cranebrook, Cambridge Park and Penrith.
