Luna Park

Luna Park is a one-stop wonderland of a wide range of thrilling rides, retro games and carnival foods! Even if you're not super into rides and games, the location and history still make this famous grinning moonface an unmissable attraction! It’s been over 80 years since the iconic moonface first grinned and lit up the harbour and now it is one of the city’s favourite vintage attractions. Even if you're stepping foot inside this park for the first time, the smiling face at the entrance, the wooden rides and the retro decor gives you a strong sense of nostalgia. Apart from being an enclosure where you can run riot and let your nuts loose, the park also offers some of the best views overlooking the harbour and its surroundings. It’s an ideal option if you have several age groups within your circle. The Ferris Wheel is the highlight of the park from where you can witness the bobbling city lights and soak up the fresh sea breeze, making for a romantic jaunt!

HeliTours

Ever felt like living the James Bond life? In Sydney Central Business District (CBD) you can do just that! See Sydney like never before, from the best vantage point in the city, the skies! Marvel at the astonishing sights of the landscape and city skyline from several thousands of feet above the ground as you ferry across the coastline. The cabin is mostly glass so every seat offers excellent views of the tops of the skyscrapers and it is best if you could arrive an hour early so that you can watch a short safety video, get weighed and geared up!

Art Galleries

No trip to a culturally diverse city like Sydney is complete unless you visit one of its public museums or art galleries. The Art Gallery of New South Wales is the leading museum of art in the city and is one of the country’s foremost cultural institutions. It proudly boasts art collections from Europe, Asia and of Australian Aboriginals and presents nearly 40 exhibitions in a calendar year. The best part is that entry to the gallery is free although there are some exhibitions that may charge you!
