Planning for the holiday-of-a-lifetime with your kids? Make your way to the beautiful province of New South Wales in Australia. Bustling with theme parks, lovely beaches and pristine nature getaways, we promise, your kids will have an entertaining vacation etched in their memories.
Here’s a quick round-up of the must-do things with your kids in New South Wales.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Full of interesting landscapes and natural wonders, Kiama will prove to be a practical Geography class for your kids.
Your little darlings would be left speechless by the waterjets at the Kiama Blowhole and the Little Blowhole, while you introduce them to the basics of tectonic movements. Experience a movie-inspired setting at the Budderoo National Park and the Minnamurra Rainforest Centre, and let them try their hands at nature photography in the Freycinet National Park.
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.
While your kids immerse in the magical world of the Three Sisters and admire the stunning views everywhere, you can also take them to the nearby Mount Solitary viewpoint, walk them across the Giant Stairway, swing by the famous Katoomba Falls and treat them to a memorable ride on the Katoomba Scenic Railway!
Soak in Sydney’s sun and majestic harbour views from the famous Luna Park – one of the city’s oldest and most visited tourist destinations!
Your kids would love wading in the waters here, taking a thrill-ride on the enormous Ferris wheel, exploring the Magic Castle, touring the Whirly Wheel and playing around Coney Island.
What’s more? The park grants free entry for all, so it’s definitely a must-visit place when in Australia!
