Looking for school holiday activities near Jamisontown? The suburb has a good spread of clubs and studios, and the bigger events are held in nearby Penrith. The Summer school holidays run from 18 Dec 2026 to 27 Jan 2027 (starting in 7 weeks). These are NSW public-school dates. Catholic and independent schools can differ, so check your own school's calendar.

What is on in Jamisontown

Our directory lists eight kids' clubs and venues in Jamisontown. They cover a play venue, dance, swimming and martial arts. Tru Ninja Penrith and Liberty Allstars are listed too. You will find them all in the events and clubs below.

Clubs like these often run regular classes in term time. We don't have holiday timetables for them, so ask each organiser whether they run holiday sessions or take a break.

Events in Penrith

The events below are in Penrith, close to Jamisontown. They include a robotics session, a Dharug story time with the Penrith City Library children's team and a family fun day. Events like these can be one-offs, so check the list below for what is on now. Ask the organiser about the day, time, cost and age range, as we don't hold those details.

Ideas by interest

  • Kids with lots of energy: try the martial arts and ninja options.
  • Learning to swim: contact Dive In Swimming Academy and ask what lessons are on offer.
  • Kids who like to perform: ask the dance studios about classes and which ages they take.
  • Younger kids: a play venue like Lollipops Playland can suit a shorter outing. Ask about age limits and opening times before you go.
  • Curious kids: the robotics and story time events in Penrith might suit.
  • Wet weather: ask each venue whether its sessions are indoors or outdoors.

Planning the break

Pick one or two things for each week rather than filling every day. Ring or check the organiser's website for prices, age ranges and booking, because places can fill up. Work out how you will get to Penrith for events, and allow extra time on busy days.

If you have more than one child, ask whether siblings can attend at the same time or on the same day. That can save a lot of driving. Check whether you need to stay with younger children or can drop them off. Keep one day free for a rest.
