The glistening waters, white sails of the Opera House and the marvellous Harbour Bridge puts the Sydney cityscape on top of anyone’s must-see list. Each year visitors from all over the world come here to enjoy the distinctive vibe around the Darling Harbour; the calm sea breeze carrying the faint smell of seared stakes and warm cups of coffee and the relaxed atmosphere. Here are some things you can try the next time you’re here.
Sea Life Aquarium
This amazing aquarium is a major tourist attraction for a reason; Sea Life takes you on a mesmerising themed tour underwater and you’ll see the biggest collection of Australian marine animals in the world. It’s a hit among all ages and is conveniently located in the heart of Darling Harbour. You can easily find accommodation for you and your family to stay during your vacation here at a Sydney Darling Harbour hotel such as the likes of Oaks Sydney Goldsbrough Suites.
Wildlife Sydney Zoo
You will find this rather enchanting attraction right next to the Sea Life Aquarium. Specifically focusing on Australia’s native animals, this zoo presents you with an immersive experience of the diverse and spectacular biospheres all around Australia. There are many themed walk-through dens with kangaroos, wallabies and other animals where you can learn so much about the native Australian wildlife.
Madame Tussaud’s
Do you want to meet Hugh Jackson and Chris Hemsworth? Did Rebel Wilson cancel on you again? Not to worry, you can meet them all at Madame Tussaud’s. This wax museum houses Australia’s largest collection of life-sized wax statues of your favourite icons. After you have your photo moment with your heroes there are plenty of activities you can do here as well. Make sure you check it out!
Harbour River Cruise
The Darling Harbour area is the hub and starting point of cruises and voyages around Sydney Harbour. So, do not pass up the opportunity to see the stunning Darling Harbour from the water! If you’re on a tight budget you can get on one of the many ferries that run through this area but if you’re looking for a more luxurious experience you have a myriad of flagship cruises, dining cruises and even private yachts for rent.
