The coastal metropolis that is Sydney, is the capital of New South Wales and is located on the eastern coast of Australia. Sydney has a vibrant culture and boasts a number of attractions including its vast stretches of beaches, iconic architectures like the towering Opera House and Harbour Bridge and an incredible harbour. Over the years, Sydney has grown into Australia’s most diverse and cosmopolitan city with an impressive food, culture and entertainment scene. All of them aren’t kid-friendly so here are some suggestions for you to choose from.

Sydney Harbour should be number one on your itinerary of places you can visit with kids. It is a unique aquatic playground with beautiful waterways, gardens, entertainment venues and multi-cuisine restaurants. The area is also famous for the Sydney Harbour lunch cruise which is a top attraction among Sydneysiders and tourists as well. There are a number of cruise dining options which also offer splendid sightseeing experiences on the Harbour. For instance, we have the family-friendly Australian-built catamaran, which is a much sought-after vessel with three large outer decks. You can get aboard a lunch cruise that offers you the opportunity to view the famous harbour attractions while enjoying a freshly prepared lunch. You can also order select beverages and drinks from the fully licensed bar while exploring the modern interiors of this purpose-built lunch cruise.

Next destination overlooking the harbour, is the renowned Taronga Zoo of Sydney. Boasting a collection of over 4,000 native and exotic wildlife, this place is sure to be loved by kids of all ages. There are a variety of exhibits and interactive experiences including live animal shows such as the free-flight bird shows and seal show along with some private encounters. Book early for close-up encounters with certain animals such as reptiles and giraffes for a more detailed insight into how the zoo preserves and maintains the survival of such species. Curious little ones can jump on the Backyard to Bush exhibit with a natural playground and water-themed areas, interactive displays and a garden rich in exotic plants.

Another exciting place, probably the best for kids in Sydney, is the Sydney Olympic Park, the home of the Sydney Olympic and Paralympic games of 2000. The area is an intermingling of water slides, flying trapezes, field sports, bike circuits and much more. The Laser Tags here is a popular attraction and is known to be one of the most desired activities among children during school days. Families can take a tour on two wheelers as well as through the parklands along the Parramatta River. Check out their summer vacation program, Kids in the Park, filled with fun and exciting programs like pizza and pasta making and sand-art workshops.

Sydney, with its countless kid-friendly regions, is a great city to visit with your family. Not to mention, Sydney Harbour which has some tailored options such as mentioned above.
