The Top Sydney Attractions

The Best Sydney Attractions, All in One Spot

Darling Harbour alone can fill a full day out, home to a zoo, an aquarium and a wax museum within a few minutes' walk of each other. Add a tower with 360 degree views, a round of pop culture mini golf and a headset free gaming adventure, and you've got a proper mix of Sydney attractions for every kind of day, rain or shine. Here's what's worth booking on this page right now.

WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo

The WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo puts you eye to eye with the Aussie Big 5 in the heart of Darling Harbour, koalas, kangaroos, wombats, crocodiles and a cassowary among them. Walk through the Daintree Rainforest habitat, catch daily keeper talks, and take your time, it's all indoors and weatherproof.

SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium

The SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium is right next door, with over 13,000 aquatic animals across 14 themed zones. Ride the Penguin Expedition boat, walk beneath sharks and rays in Shark Valley, and say g'day to Pig the dugong, easy to pair with the zoo in a single Darling Harbour outing.

Madame Tussauds Sydney

Madame Tussauds Sydney rounds out the Darling Harbour trio, lifelike wax figures of everyone from Taylor Swift to the Royal Family to other stars. Grab a photo with your favourites and take as long as you like wandering the halls.

Sydney Tower Eye Entry Tickets

The Sydney Tower Eye gets you 360 degree views from 250 metres above the city, with the Blue Mountains visible on a clear day. Keen for more of a thrill? The SKYWALK takes you outside onto the tower's highest outdoor viewpoint, glass floor included.

Holey Moley Mini Golf Darlinghurst

Holey Moley Mini Golf in Darlinghurst turns a round of putt putt into a proper night out, pop culture themed holes including a Simpsons couch setup, with plenty of dining nearby to make a full evening of it.
