Planning a Sydney day out with kids
What’s on for kids in Sydney this weekend?
The dated-event section covers 31 Oct–1 Nov. Longer-running classes and programs appear separately because their exact sessions need checking. If no dated events are listed, the guide includes indoor attractions, gardens and local venues to explore.
How do I find free activities?
Choose “Free only” in the budget filter to see listings marked free by their organiser. For an inexpensive day out, explore the free outing ideas above. Check whether booking, materials, parking or accompanying adults cost extra.
What can we do on a rainy day?
Consider a museum, indoor gallery, aquarium or play centre. Check session times, admission costs and travel before you leave. Use the indoor links above to check venue information before you go.
Are these activities suitable for toddlers?
Select your child’s exact age to see listings whose published age range includes it. Listings without age information do not appear in age-filtered results. Ask the organiser about supervision and facilities.
Where can I find school holiday activities?
See our Sydney school holiday planning page for holiday planning, or browse kids’ activities in New South Wales for ongoing classes.
