Sydney is a fun-packed city, perfect for a family holiday. Getting around is easy with travel passes available for ferries, trains and buses.
Sydney has a great range of easily accessible experiences for all the family. These include beaches, parks and gardens, and many fabulous walks with stunning views, such as seeing the sunset over Sydney Harbour.
For a more adventurous day out try island hopping around Sydney Harbour or visit Taronga Zoo. For a taste of the aquatic, Sydney Aquarium and Oceanworld Manly offer a fascinating and hands-on insight into the world beneath the ocean with reef snorkelling and some breathtaking shark-based activities. If you prefer land-based animal magic, head to Sydney Wildlife World. Finally, not to be missed is a fun-yet-educational trip for both adults and children to the Australian Museum and Sydney Tower.
