Fun Things to do in Sydney (Darling Harbour)

SYDNEY'S BEST ATTRACTIONS IN ONE DAY AND ON ONE TICKET 


 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.
