Family holidays in Sydney

Sydney is a great city for kids of all ages with attractions, tours and plenty of things to see and do at any time of the year. From bowling to horse riding, whitewater rafting to wildlife, whale-watching cruises to tours and performances for kids, and even babies, at the Sydney Opera House - it's all on offer with easy travel options and family travel deals.
Start with the must-see attractions. They include Taronga Zoo, SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium, Manly SEA LIFE Sanctuary, WILDLIFE Sydney, BridgeClimb and the Sydney Tower Eye. Other Sydney attractions the kids will enjoy are Hyde Park Barracks, Cockatoo Island, a tour of the Sydney Cricket Ground and Sydney Olympic Park, and a visit to the lookout and museum in the south-east pylon of the Harbour Bridge.
Sydney is also home to some of Australia's best museums that have interactive displays and the newest technology to keep everyone busy and entertained. Don't miss the Australian Museum, the Powerhouse Museum, the Museum of Sydney and the Australian National Maritime Museum. Take the kids on a quirky ghost tour in The Rocks or a safe cycling tour around the backstreets of the inner city. Head to the beach by ferry and go swimming, snorkelling and cycling or just enjoy fish'n chips on the sand.
You'll find plenty of good spots for eating out with kids as well as accommodation options to suit all budgets.
