Sydney Archery

Last updated April 2026

Watch your kids’ faces light up as they nock their first arrow and take aim at Sydney Archery in North Bondi. Nestled in the leafy Hugh Bamford Reserve, this spot turns archery for kids into an unforgettable adventure just minutes from Bondi Beach. Whether they’re beginners or budding Hawkeyes, the experienced instructors make every session safe, fun, and full of ‘I did it!’ moments. Sessions run rain or shine under string lights when the sun dips low, perfect for school holiday activities in Sydney. It’s the kind of place where kids learn focus, confidence, and a new skill without even realising they’re learning. **What to Bring** Comfortable closed-toe shoes and weather-appropriate layers. Bring a water bottle and a light snack for after practice. Sunscreen and hats are essential if you’re joining in the fun on sunnier days. Dress for the weather—layers are best as the reserve can be breezy even when it’s warm. **Best Age Range** Designed for kids aged 6 years and up. Younger siblings can watch and cheer from the sidelines, but active participation starts at 6. **Good to Know** Sessions cost $25 per child for a 90-minute slot. Adults can join for $15 if they want to try archery too. Bookings are essential on weekends and during school holiday activities in Sydney as spots fill fast. Parking is free along the streets surrounding the reserve. **Nearby** Grab a post-archery snack at **The Boathouse Shelly Beach** in Manly, just 15 minutes’ drive away. Then let the kids run wild at the **Bondi Park Playground** in North Bondi, a short stroll from the reserve. **Tips From Other Parents** Go early on weekends—it gets busy by 10am. Bring a spare hair tie if your child has long hair; it always gets in the way. Check the weather and dress accordingly—parents are welcome to join in and it’s a great family activity.
