Get ready for an action‑packed Summer school holiday season filled with excitement, creativity, and endless fun! Noosa Council has curated a vibrant program of activities and workshops to keep children of all ages entertained and engaged. From arts and crafts to swim intensives, there’s something for everyone.

At the Noosa Aquatic Centre, the inflatable is back!! Running every weekend, plus Tuesdays and Thursdays 12pm – 3pm. Bring friends, enjoy the challenge, and make unforgettable holiday memories.

Want to fast‑track your child’s swimming progress? Then dive into the Intensive Learn to Swim Programs running across four weeks. These five‑day sessions are tailored to all skill levels in a fun and supportive environment. Parents can enjoy lap swimming, the air‑conditioned gym, wellness studio, and crèche facilities, while the Poolside Café offers fresh meals and great coffee.

Noosa Leisure Centre is buzzing with energy. The Kids’ Playroom is perfect for children under five, featuring mini tramps, climbing walls, and balance beams. Outside, the activity area includes basketball hoops, a handball court, and a pickleball hit‑out wall. Casual hoops are also available — just call ahead to check court availability.

Noosaville and Cooroy Libraries are hosting a variety of engaging activities. Children of all ages can join us for a magical morning of storytelling and songs followed by themed craft. Children 6–12 years can get into the craze of K‑POP, creating friendship bracelets, decorating a picture of their favourite Demon Hunter character, and learning the viral dance to the hit song Golden! Kids can also design their own trucker hat or create a magical mini garden, with workshops being held at both libraries.

Living Well Noosa is also offering an exciting range of school holiday workshops across December and January, including Hip Hop and Yoga sessions at the libraries, along with nature‑inspired art workshops held at the Botanical Gardens — perfect for kids and teens looking to move, stretch, and get creative outdoors.

At Noosa Regional Gallery, children and teens can get creative with a range of hands‑on workshops led by local makers and artists. Kids aged 5–12 can paint and decorate wooden wildlife houses or design their own colourful letterbox, with grown‑ups welcome to join in the fun. Budding skaters can express their artistic flair with artist Zoe Awen across two different skateboard design sessions, where participants learn stencilling techniques and create bold, personalised deck artwork. With accessible pricing and engaging activities for various ages, these workshops offer the perfect opportunity for young creatives to learn new skills and bring home their own unique masterpieces.

Tech‑savvy kids and teens aged 7–17 years can head to the Peregian Digital Hub for several exciting workshops. Sessions include drone building, 3D design, LEGO robotics, music production, creating for Minecraft, and even a Next Gen Filmmaking Bootcamp.

Plus, don’t forget the Go Noosa free loop bus service is back from 13 December 2025 to 26 January 2026. The service operates every 15 minutes from 7am – 7pm and every 30 minutes 7pm – 10pm.
