Indoor fun in Penrith

It's cold outside, so head indoors for some truly unique Penrith experiences.  

Family fun 

When the weather outside is frightful, head to Plaster Funtime where you can choose from over 100 different plaster and ceramic pieces to paint or, get your competitive on at Zone Bowling and Laser Skirmish where you can bowl, play arcade games and have a crack at laser tag. There’s also TruNinja, a revolutionary obstacle adventure park that will challenge the whole family. And who says you need to be outside to enjoy a spot of golf? Try the state-of-art simulators at Big Swing Golf or head to Unreal Mini Golf where you’ll face pirates, walk through a jungle, explore a mad science lab, visit the ruins of ancient Egypt and head through a haunted cemetery…and play mini golf of course! Penrith Climbing Centre is a great option to wear out the kids and you can all lose yourselves at Freak VR where you’ll enjoy a range of state-of-the-art virtual reality experiences.

Fun with friends 

The clock’s ticking. Can you find the clues, solve the puzzles and achieve your mission in time? Narrow Escape Rooms is a super fun experience where you enter a themed room and put your wits to the test. And whether blades or wheels are your thing, you can’t go past a visit to Penrith Skatel. If you’re feeling creative, set up a group date at Pinot & Picasso or Paint and Sip Studio. Sip on wine (BYO), snack on treats and release your inner Picasso! Or, unleash your inner lumberjack at Throw Axe. This place is just what it says on the box. Hurl your axe down a fenced range and hear the satisfying thud as it sticks into the wood. Super easy and safe. And speaking of safe thrills, feel the force of the wind at iFly Indoor Skydiving for an unforgettable experience.

Get cultured 

There’s nothing like visiting a museum when the weather is chilly. At Penrith you’re spoilt for choice with the Arms of Australian Inn Museum, the Museum of Fire, the Penrith Museum of Printing and the Nepean Naval Museum – there’s truly something for everyone. And, in the art space, there’s the gorgeous Penrith Regional Gallery – Home of the Lewers Bequest where the undercover garden café comes complete with heaters, so you stay toasty.
