Top 4 Attractions in Sydney on a Rainy Day

Sydney has quite the reputation for glorious sunshine and great beach weather, but there are times also where we experience some wet down periods too.

Just when you thought venturing around Sydney during the rain is a major let down, there are some things you can still do and see. The great thing about these attractions is they're kid friendly.

Here's the top 4 things to see and do in Sydney on a rainy day.

1) Take an Opera House Tour

One of Sydney's most iconic landmarks, the Sydney Opera House is an amazing building architecturally from the outside, but did you know that amazing architecture is also just as good if not better from the inside?

2) Visit the WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo

If you can't venture out in the rain, then the next best thing is to be indoors and still able to see the native Australian wildlife all under the one roof. Housing hundreds of iconic Australian animals including koalas, kangaroos, snakes, wallabies, birds and even a huge Saltwater Crocodile.
