AS a vibrant, family-friendly community space in the heart of Penrith, Manufactor is Western Sydney’s newest innovation and dining hub that should be on every parent’s radar these school holidays. With on-site art installations, garden areas, and restaurants, Manufactor is designed with families in mind, making it the perfect place to bring the kids and keep them entertained all day long.

For a family day out, start by exploring Manufactor’s bold art installations. Scattered throughout the site, these installations will capture their imagination as your kids spend hours exploring the colourful murals and gravity-defying bicycle sculptures before stopping at one of the family-friendly food and beverage outlets. Catering to a range of tastes and dietary preferences including authentic American BBQ at Brisket Boys to juicy fried chicken at Flappy’s, we guarantee you’ll find something for even the fussiest kids at Manufactor. Enjoy your meal in the picnic area where families can dine together and kids can play surrounded by the rustic charm of the old copper factory. Outdoor areas are also dog friendly, so the fur-children can also join the fun. 

Manufactor is based in a charming 1960s copper factory that has been preserved to honour the site’s industrial roots as it is transformed into a home of over 12 pioneering manufacturers and eateries. A day out at Manufactor will nurture your kid’s curiosity about the past while fuelling their creative spirit. With plenty of space to roam and explore, Manufactor is a must-do activity if you’re looking for fun these school holidays.
