Beaches – Festival of the Winds

Bondi beach and Bondi park become all filled up with people when the time comes for the Festival of the Winds. Thousands of people come to fly their most amazing kites and show them off. You and your family can join and fly your kite, or just sit down and observe others while they do it.

Randwick City Horse Ride

Very near to the city centre is the Randwick area. This is the perfect place to visit if you want to stay in Sydney but get an entirely different experience. It is a great idea to find accommodation in Randwick area for a day or two and spend them horse riding with your family.

Powerhouse Museum

This interactive heaven for the curious kids will entertain your young ones for hours. If your kid is younger than 16, they will get free entrance. People at the Powerhouse museum organized the entire place so that different workshops and talks engage kids into the arts and science. There is a permanent exhibition about space that can make an excellent thing to look at if your kid is into the Star Wars.

Cruise

A boat ride is always something that the kids love. It is even more special when you have a tour guide and they explain everything that you see in an interesting way. And you will see some great stuff, because Sydney has a very interesting waterfront. The Sydney Opera House, Darling Harbor and the Bridge will be there for you to see them from the entirely different perspective.

The Rocks

This is the oldest part of Sydney and it is a must-see for every tourist. You can just spend the day wandering the streets and exploring the old buildings or even visiting museums and art galleries. One great idea for the afternoon is to finish your walk under the Bridge and make a family picnic there. In this way, you can sum up the impressions together and enjoy the lovely outdoors.
