Things To Do In Sydney
You can have your photos taken with some of the world’s most revered and respected historical figures at Madame Tussauds Sydney. Good for all ages including toddlers, who tend to be completely absorbed by the underwater tunnels. Combine with WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo next door on a combo ticket — valid for 30 days, so you can spread it across multiple visits if the kids don’t want to leave. Welcome to underwater life with all of its fascinating inhabitants.
A cabaret show and dinner whilst travelling around Sydney Harbour on this paddle wheeler boat. You will get to see Sydney’s famous landmarks, enjoy a dinner and what a cabaret – a great evening out. This one is only suitable for families vr experience used to long walks or parents happy to carry their kids, lol; it’s not for the fainthearted at the 8km in total. Your efforts, however, are well rewarded with not one but two lighthouses and a couple of playgrounds along the way. Bondi is the beach everyone recognizes from TV, and yes, it’s touristy, but it’s also genuinely fun for families and absolutely worth experiencing.
Roll on in to enjoy the Cirque Electriq experience and relive joyous memories from your childhood and share them with your kids over the school holidays or on a wet or hot day to escape the weather. When it comes to indoor school holiday activities in Hobart this April, we’ve done the hard work so you don’t have to. We get it – some days it rains, the kids are bored, and you need something that actually works without endless scrolling. These indoor options will keep the kids entertained, no matter what the weather does. One of Sydney's largest trampoline parks, Flip Out Penrith combines trampolines with a full indoor playground, rock climbing walls, and a cafe with decent coffee. We all know that going to the movies is a classic rainy day activity but going with kids can be challenging.
From our famous beaches and fun outdoor adventures to animal encounters and interactive museums, the Harbour City is packed with good old-fashioned fun. Anyone can visit the Sydney Opera House twenty four hours, seven days a week. Buying a ticket for a paid performance is not an essential part of a visit to the famous building. It costs nothing to snap a selfie on the famous forecourt, to scramble up and down the steps or just to sit and watch the world (and the boats into Circular Quay) pass by.
The Sydney Harbour Bridge is an icon every family should experience, and the good news is it’s now truly accessible for everyone. New elevators mean parents with prams and wheelchairs can easily reach the main footpath, and there are amazing options for all fitness levels. While I love to walk around the gardens when exploring with toddlers or younger kids, the Choo Choo Express, a hop on hop off train, will help you cover the entire garden. Be sure to get off at stop 4 to see the iconic Mrs Macquarie’s Point view. The garden is also a good spot to let young ones run around for a bit if they are getting frustrated by being trapped in a pram. A day at Taronga Zoo is not a budget option, and there are not many ways to reduce the cost.
Stand-up paddleboarding, or SUP-ing, is a fun and exciting water sport that’s not only a great social activity but also an excellent workout. Read our guide on the best walking tracks in Sydney with a list of great walking tracks of various distances. These bike-friendly paths provide a safe environment to enjoy the benefits of cycling while getting a great workout with friends and family.
It has Tasmanian Devils, Kangaroos, Koalas and Wombats just to name a few. The Share Our Space program opens some school facilities to the public during the school holidays. Families who value teamwork and the achievement of common goals may favour a family escape room. Others who favour physical activities and movement may favour indoor adventure facilities. When choosing group activities in Sydney, families can benefit from activities that demand participation from all members of the family. This is because passive entertainment is not effective in any case.
Under Five YearsThe permanent Wiggles exhibition is a must-see for younger kids (and grown-up fans like me!). You can ride in the Big Red Car, see loads of Wiggles memorabilia, and try many musical inspired activities. Play Studio is a beautiful boutique space, decked out in custom-built furniture and immersive play areas designed for hands-on creative and sensory exploration. Thrillophilia works with multiple attractions in Sydney as a reseller. The Archie Brother Cirque Electriq in Alexandria is the ultimate destination for a sensory overload, with all the glowing neon lights and sounds you would experience at a circus, but indoors.
This flat, pram-friendly walk offers iconic views of the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge and busy ferry traffic, which kids love watching. You can keep it short with a stroll around Circular Quay or extend it through Barangaroo Reserve where there are grassy areas, sandstone paths and space for kids to explore. There are plenty of cafés, public toilets and spots to stop for snacks, making it ideal for families visiting the city for the first time.
Operating since 1935, the park offers family fun for all ages, from the thrilling Big Dipper rollercoaster to the Ferris wheel, Coney Island and side show games. Rockhouse Indoor Climbing centre has been a Brookvale institution for just on twenty years and offers a great space to learn to rock climb for all ages. They offer tuition, clubs and holiday programs alongside casual climbing rates.
