Riverstone has plenty of places to go: a swimming centre, a skatepark, a park, a library and a museum, plus Christmas outings and art programs. None are marked as holiday-only programs yet, so use this as a shortlist and check what each organiser runs when school is out.

The Summer school holidays run from 18 Dec 2026 to 27 Jan 2027 (starting in 6 weeks). These are NSW public-school dates, and Catholic and independent schools can differ.

Christmas and market outings

  • Woodlands Christmas at The Vineyard.
  • Santa Photos at The Vineyard.
  • Christmas Carols at The Vineyard.
  • Elara Village Night Market in Marsden Park.

Check the organisers for times, tickets and bookings. If you want Santa photos, find out early whether you need to book.

Places to visit in Riverstone

These are all listed in Riverstone:

  • Riverstone Swimming Centre. Check opening times and entry costs with the venue.
  • Riverstone Skatepark and Riverstone Park. Check the council or the signs on the day for anything about conditions.
  • Riverstone Library & Digital Hub and Riverstone Library. Check what is on and the opening hours.
  • Riverstone Museum, and Riverstone & District Historical Society and Museum. Ask about opening days and whether it suits younger kids.

A library, a park and a museum can make an easy day out without much planning, but check the details with each place first.

Art and sport

  • Art Programs for ages 6 to 13 and Art Programs for ages 4.5 to 8, both listed in Llandilo.
  • Riverstone Razorbacks Rugby League, listed in Riverstone. Ask about junior sessions and trials.

The art programs have clear age ranges, so they are a simple match if your child sits in one of the brackets.

Planning the break

  • Group your outings by place. Riverstone, Vineyard, Marsden Park and Llandilo are different spots, so check travel times on your map.
  • Ask each organiser about holiday sessions and ages.
  • Book early where you can, and keep a few days free.
  • Take water, hats and sunscreen to anything outdoors.
