Hoddywell Archery Supplies & Park

Last updated April 2026

Watch your kids transform into confident young archers at Hoddywell Archery Supplies & Park in Toodyay, just 90 minutes northeast of Perth. This isn’t just a shop—it’s a hands-on archery park where children can pull back their first bow under expert guidance, surrounded by rolling hills and open bushland. The grassy range is perfect for beginners, with lightweight bows and safe foam-tipped arrows designed specifically for little hands. Parents can relax on shaded picnic tables while kids focus on hitting the hay bale targets, learning focus and precision in a safe, supervised space. It’s one of the few places around that turns archery for kids in Perth into a real outdoor adventure. Great for school holiday activities in Perth without the crowds of big city attractions. **What to Bring Comfortable closed-toe shoes are a must—grass can be uneven. Dress for the weather, as there’s limited shade. Bring a water bottle and a hat to stay cool, and don’t forget sunscreen—Toodyay sunshine is strong even on cooler days. A small backpack makes it easy to carry snacks and extra layers. **Best Age Range Designed for kids aged 5 to 15. Younger children can try with assistance, but the bows and targets are scaled for ages 6+. **Good to Know Sessions are self-guided with equipment hire included. Bring cash or card for on-site purchases—there’s a small shop with archery gear and souvenirs. Weekends get busy; arrive before 10am to avoid crowds. Closed on Tuesdays—perfect for a midweek escape. **Nearby Stop by the Toodyay Bakery on Stirling Terrace for award-winning pies and fresh bread. Or visit the Toodyay Historical Village just 5 minutes’ drive away for a fun step back in time. **Tips From Other Parents Go early on weekends—it gets busy by 10am. Bring a spare change of clothes; kids always end up with grass stains. Let the kids try the beginner’s range first before moving to the longer targets.
