Schofields has a few listed places in the suburb and plenty of options nearby in Rouse Hill and Riverstone, including sessions for babies and little children. 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 near Schofields

The events we list come from Vinegar Hill Memorial Library in Rouse Hill. They are Baby Bounce, Toddler Time and Preschool Storytime. These suit the youngest children, going by their names. We don't have the days, times or exact ages, and sessions may pause or change in the holidays, so ask the library before you go.

We're still adding holiday programs near Schofields. If you have a school-age child, the venues below are a better place to start.

Places in Schofields

Rouse Hill Estate and Rouse Hill House are both listed in Schofields. We also list Croc's in Schofields. We don't have descriptions, opening hours or entry details for any of them, so check each organiser's page to see what suits your children.

Riverstone and nearby

  • Riverstone Park, for fresh air and a run around
  • Riverstone Swimming Centre, for a swim
  • Riverstone Museum, to see what is on display
  • Riverstone Library, for books and a quiet hour
  • Hawkesbury Model Air Sports Inc. (HMAS), a model aircraft club to ask about

Ask the swimming centre about opening hours and entry. Ask the model aircraft club whether visitors and children are welcome, and when.

Ideas by age

  • Babies and toddlers: Baby Bounce and Toddler Time at Vinegar Hill Memorial Library.
  • Preschoolers: Preschool Storytime, then a play at Riverstone Park.
  • School-age children: the museum, the swimming centre and the places in Schofields, once you have checked what they offer.

Planning the day

Pair a library session with something outdoors, and allow travel time between Schofields, Rouse Hill and Riverstone. Babies and toddlers do best with a short outing, so pair a session with a snack and a rest before heading home. Pack a change of clothes and nappies if you have little ones. Where the organiser asks you to book, do it early.

For the latest details, go to each organiser's own page. The events and clubs below show what we have found so far.
