School Holidays

There’s plenty to do these school holidays. From creative workshops to outdoor adventures and family-friendly events, we have a range of activities happening across our libraries, Wollongong Art Gallery, Wollongong Botanic Garden, Youth Services and community spaces.

Whether you're looking for something fun, educational or just a way to get out and about, there’s something for kids of all ages. Most activities are free or low-cost, and many are drop-in.
