Fun Things to do in Sydney

Sydney's Best Attractions In One Day and on One Ticket 

 

Wednesday, 14 August 2013

• Jump start the morning and take a walk on the wild side and experience WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo's 10 natural habitats featuring over 1,000 native Australian animals. You can also book a koala encounter and photo opportunity in a bush garden setting and get up-close to cuddly koalas.
  

• After an exciting animal adventure, hop next door to encounter and interact with iconic Australian stars at Madame Tussauds Sydney. Star struck guests can step back in time to join Captain Cook's first voyage to Sydney Harbour, challenge Aussie sports heroes, sing along with international music legends and star in some of Australia's most popular television shows.
  

• Continue along Darling Harbour to SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium, one of the world's largest aquariums. Boasting the world's largest collection of Australian aquatic life, the Aquarium also features interactive talks, exciting animal feeding presentations, an immersive 360-degree ocean tunnel and more. Guests looking for a more adventurous experience can also book a Glass Bottom Boat ride and shark feed!
  

• For the perfect end to the perfect day out, watch the sunset from Sydney Tower Eye - Sydney's tallest building.  With its unparalleled 360-degree views, the Sydney Tower Eye gives visitors the opportunity to see the city's most famous sights, all in one spot. You can also book the attraction's premium SKYWALK experience which takes visitors on a 45 minute guided tour around the outside of the tower's iconic golden turret.
  

• BONUS: You also get entry to Manly SEA LIFE Sanctuary, which is just a short ferry ride across the stunning Sydney Harbour. Here you'll witness conservation in action and see the colony of Little Penguins - the very same species that live wild on the beach directly outside the attraction! Manly SEA LIFE Sanctuary is also home to Sydney's largest oceanarium, where you can journey through the tunnel and snoop on the guests taking part in Shark Dive Xtreme, and see the colony of Grey Nurse sharks, huge turtles, stingrays and more.

Book Now to Enjoy the Biggest Naval Event on Sydney Harbour this Century

The biggest naval event on Sydney Harbour this century will take place from October 3-11, 2013 and Sydneysiders, regional NSW residents and interstate visitors are advised to book accommodation early to avoid missing out.

The Royal Australian Navy is celebrating 100 years since the first RAN ships sailed into Sydney Harbour to great fanfare in 1913 – and it has asked 50 nations to join the party. Called the International Fleet Review (IFR), the celebrations will see 40 warships and 20 tall ships from around the world sail into Sydney Harbour for a week-long celebration.

Commencing on Thursday 3 October 2013 and concluding eight days later, the IFR will be a harbour spectacular no Australian will want to miss. Her Excellency the Governor-General, Quentin Bryce will welcome the fleet from Bradley’s Head on October 4, and officially review the fleet onboard HMAS Leeuwin on October 5 as part of the Ceremonial Fleet Review.

With the world heritage backdrop of Sydney Harbour setting the scene, the Royal Australian Navy band will perform while fixed and rotary wing aircraft fly past in formation overhead. Military demonstrations will be held, the official ceremony will be staged on the steps of the Opera House, and the event will conclude with a fireworks display fit for the occasion.

Other activities being planned include a combined naval march through the Sydney CBD, ships open to the public, inter-navy sporting competitions and a range of community and cultural events.

Whether you’re a navy buff or just keen not to miss the amazing pageantry of this historic event, now is the time to book your accommodation in Sydney to be sure you make the most of the week-long celebrations – and Metro Hotels has a number of properties from which to choose.

Metro Hotel Sydney Central is the group’s flagship property located on the corner of Pitt and Hay Streets in the heart of Sydney’s entertainment precinct. Having recently completed a two year refurbishment, the hotel now offers 220 fully-refurbished Superior and Deluxe rooms, all priced affordably.

Metro Hotel on Pitt is a stylish boutique hotel in the heart of Sydney’s CBD, within easy walking distance of Circular Quay, Darling Harbour, The Rocks, Pitt Street Mall, Queen Victoria Building, Hyde Park and Chinatown, while Metro Apartments Darling Harbour provides easy access to the popular harbour restaurant precinct of King Street Wharf and Cockle Bay, as well as IMAX, Sydney Aquarium, Wildlife World and Australian Maritime Museum and Star Casino.
