Sydney School Holiday Guide 2026 | Things To Do With Kids

Sydney's school holiday guide brings together activities, workshops, attractions and ideas to help families plan the break and keep children active and entertained.

Updated throughout each holiday period, the guide is a starting point for finding things to do with kids across Sydney and NSW.

School Holiday Guide

Saturday 26 September 2026 - Sunday 11 October 2026

The school holidays bring a changing program of things to see and do across Sydney, from children's activities and creative workshops to holiday care programs, exhibitions, shows, festivals and family attractions.

This guide is designed to be used throughout all four NSW school holiday periods, with the latest seasonal dates and activities added as each break approaches. Families can check back regularly for new ideas and additions to help plan days out, organised activities or simply something different to keep the kids busy.
