Taut Archery

Last updated April 2026

Watch your kids channel their inner Robin Hood at Taut Archery in Lyneham, Canberra’s go-to spot for hands-on archery adventures. Hidden in Thurbon Road, this family-friendly range turns school holiday fidgeting into focus, with bows sized for little hands and targets that cheer every hit. Whether it’s a birthday party booking or a weekend family session, the focus is on safe, supervised fun that builds confidence and coordination. Parents love the clear safety briefings and the chance to join in the fun too. For kids who love games, challenges, and getting outdoors, it’s a fresh way to spend an hour or two. It’s one of those Lyneham gems where the kids ask to go back and the adults sneak a second go. Great for school holiday activities Canberra parents are always hunting for. **What to Bring** Wear closed shoes and comfortable clothing that won’t snag on bows. Bring a water bottle and a light hat in summer. A small backpack makes it easy to carry gear and snacks. Leave jewellery at home to avoid tangles with the equipment. **Best Age Range** Best for 6 years and up. Younger kids can join with close supervision, but the bows suit ages 6+ comfortably. **Good to Know** Sessions are pay-as-you-go; no need to book ahead for casual visits. Pricing is around $15 per child and $10 per adult for a 45-minute session. Cash or card accepted on site. Check Facebook for last-minute booking spots during peak school holiday activities Canberra periods. **Nearby** Grab a bite at The Front Gallery & Café in Braddon, Canberra — 10 minutes drive. Then let off steam at the playground at Lyneham Triangle Park, just down the road. **Tips From Other Parents** Arrive 10 minutes early for your session to avoid rushing little archers. Bring a spare hair tie if your child’s hair gets in the way. Ask about their birthday party packages — they’re a hit with 8–12 year olds and include all gear and targets."
