Things to do in Sydney with Kids – Top 10 Darling Harbour Adventures


 Darling Harbour Apartment Accommodation



Darling Harbour is one of Sydney's most popular tourist attractions, but have you taken your kids there recently? There is so much to see and do that one day is not enough to explore everything Darling Harbour has to offer.






Even if you live in Sydney, why not make it a weekend or school holiday adventure. Book a room in one of the many hotels located in Sydney CBD and you won't have to fight peak hour traffic at the end of the day.

Some of the places your kids will love visiting include:

Darling Quarter Playground
One of Sydney's best playgrounds, offering kids of all ages plenty of fun. From toddlers to teenagers, children will be occupied with the playground's water games, climbing ropes, swings, slides, flying foxes and so much more.



Sydney Aquarium
Sydney Aquarium is a home to many sea creatures and some of the most popular exhibits include:
The tropical bay of rays – featuring the most colourful combination of Australian stingrays
Saws and Claws – a new joint creature feature of smalltooth sawfish and huge Japanese spider crabs,
Southern rivers includes freshwater fish such as the Murray cod, platypus, yabbies, turtles,
Northern Rivers – see barramundi and lungfish – the only fish species that can breathe air
Southern Oceans – check out Sea Dragons and Pineapple Fish, octopus, moray eels and little penguins
Dugongs at Mermaid Lagoon – Pig and Wuru are the only captive dugongs in Australia



Wild Life Sydney
Get up close to sleepy koalas and energetic kangaroos, see Rex, one of the world's largest crocodiles, and walk through nine habitat zones, where you see over 100 species of Australian animals. Sydney Wildlife World offers many keeper talks and animal feeds each day, so you are guaranteed to keep the children amused for hours. Some of the most popular exhibits include Butterfly Tropics, Gum Tree Valley, Wallaby Cliffs, Daintree Forest, The Outback, Kakadu Gorge and Bugs Garden.



Madame Tussauds
