Kid-friendly Things-To-Do in Sydney

Tourism Australia has ‘spied’ some of the best kid-friendly pit stops and activities for families to ‘spy’ on their next city trip.

I spy something spikey

take kids on a tactile adventure at Taronga Zoo Sydney, where they can have a close encounter with unique animals like echidnas and platypuses!

I spy ancient cultures

Take a unique stroll around Sydney’s Botanical Gardens on a guided tour with one of the garden’s experts. Tours depart every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday at 10am and kids young and old will even be able to taste some Aboriginal bush foods (depending what’s in season)!

I spy a boat

Jump aboard a scenic ferry ride from Circular Quay to ‘spy’ some of Sydney Harbour’s famous landmarks from the Sydney Harbour Bridge to the Sydney Opera House!

I spy something to climb

For early risers watch the sunrise over the horizon after climbing the 134 metre summit of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. With lots of kid-friendly packages that create the ultimate harbourside day out for families, it’s a one-stop shop. Please note participating kids need to be 8 years old and over 1.2 metres tall.

I spy somewhere to dive

Head to Manly for an Ecotreasures snorkel tour and meet some of Sydney’s unique underwater wildlife with experienced and friendly local eco guides. Jump out of the ocean and keep the adventure going while exploring Sydney’s coastal habitats and see what can be ‘spied’ from the headland lookouts. Kids will need to be competent swimmers and able to float and tread water.
