Hit the Famous Bondi Beach

A world-famous Australian attraction, the Bondi Beach draws in large number of tourists all through the year. Known for a myriad of tourist activities, the beach also has special provisions for indulging your little munchkins.

Your kids can take beginners’ surfing lessons, have fun wading in the salt-water, play beach ball and relish beachside barbecues and ice-creams here. And the best part, the beach is alcohol-free, and thus, perfect for kids.

Go Museum Hopping in Sydney

With a plethora of museums and an abundance of kid-special programs, Sydney is a paradise when it comes to little scientists-in-the-making.Take your kids to the Australian Museum and encourage them to feel all the specimen around Kidspace, teach them about our solar system in The Sydney Observatory where they can meet real astronomers as well; have their curiosity satiated at the Museums Discovery Centre and let them admire the science behind the first moon mission at the Powerhouse Museum.

Childhood is the best time to acquaint your kids with the world around them and introduce them to various life forms on earth. And nowhere better than the Sydney Sea Life Aquarium to get them started!

Ride a glass bottomed boat and teach your kids about the underwater beauties, play with penguins, say hello to lazy tortoises and have fun spotting gorgeous starfishes here. Your kids would also love meeting the dugongs, participating in the zoo talks, checking out the various exhibitions and marvelling at the array of marine species on display here.

Visit the Circular Quay

No visit to Australia is complete without visiting the famous Circular Quay!

Treat your kids to some local ice-cream and snacks while admiring the Sydney Opera House, bond while walking hand-in-hand across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, relax in the arms of nature at the many gardens and parks here, and end your trip with a bang by splurging on a speedboat ride with your little ones.

Hop Around with a Marsupial at the Taronga Zoo Sydney​

Commanding sweeping views of Australia’s iconic landmarks, the Taronga Zoo Sydney is also home to local and foreign wildlife.

Your kids would be left spellbound by the hopping kangaroos playing with their little ones, surprised by the majestic tigers curiously peering at them, fascinated by the friendly chimpanzees, excited for feeding the elephants and delighted by the nocturnal platypus here.

You can also teach them about wildlife conservation efforts, and encourage them to be empathetic towards animals here.

You can also take your kids whale watching near the Cathedral Rocks in Kiama, and visit the Pilot’s Cottage Museum here.

There is no better way to introduce our kids to the local Aboriginal culture than taking them through the sites replete with legends and myths. The Three Sisters are an unusual rock formation in the Blue Mountains area, and are said to be humans-turned-mountains with magic.
