Kids & Family Events in Kathmandu
Keeping kids busy over a Kathmandu weekend has gotten a lot easier. Studios and cafes around Jhamsikhel, Patan and Sanepa now run hands-on children's workshops most Saturdays — messy art camps, cupcake and cookie baking classes, clay and craft sessions, and storytelling mornings where little ones make something to take home. This page pulls together every confirmed kids and family activity across the valley, with the age range, venue and date for each.
A lot of these sit under our community events and hands-on learning and education listings too, so browse those if you want the full picture. To plan a family day out, check what else is on this weekend.

Frequently asked questions
What ages are the kids workshops in Kathmandu for?
Most children's workshops in Kathmandu are pitched at ages 5 to 12, with plenty split into younger (5–8) and older (9–13) groups so the activity matches the age. Toddler-and-parent sessions for under-5s and teen-focused art or coding camps also pop up. Each listing on this page states the age range, so check the event details before you book.
Are kids and family events held every weekend?
Weekends are the busiest window — Saturday mornings and afternoons in particular, when studios in Jhamsikhel, Patan and Sanepa run art, baking and craft sessions. It isn't guaranteed every single weekend for every venue, and school-holiday weeks (Dashain, Tihar, winter break) bring extra multi-day camps. This page updates daily, so it always reflects what's actually confirmed.
How do I book a spot for a kids workshop?
Tap through to the event you like — ticketed workshops link straight to Khalti, TicketSanjal or eSewa, while smaller studio classes usually ask you to reserve by phone or Instagram DM since spots are capped. Popular baking and art camps fill fast, so book a few days ahead rather than turning up on the day.
Are these activities suitable for the whole family?
Many are — storytelling sessions, open-air family days, craft fairs and museum activities welcome parents and younger siblings alongside the main child. Others, like a focused baking or pottery class, are drop-off sessions built just for the kids. The listing makes clear whether it's a family activity or a children-only workshop.
