6 Sydney Attractions with kids they'll love

Taronga Zoo has more than just an incredible array of wild creatures, it also has some of the most spectacular views of Sydney Harbour. After taking a ferry from Circular Quay, your family can climb into a gondola that takes you to the Zoo entrance as you enjoy aerial views of the animals and picturesque surroundings below.

As you ride up, you'll get your first glimpse at the elephants, koalas and lizards that call Taronga home.

Tip - make sure you catch the bird show, during which you’ll get to see some exotic avian life soaring right over your head!

Stay at the Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour, just on the other side of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, for a pleasent trip to Taronga Zoo in the morning (either via car, taxi, ferry or bus). Not to mention you'll be able to enjoy delicious buffet breakfast with all the trimmings before setting off. It’s also worth knowing that up to two kids per family can enjoy breakfast for free when dining with adults. 

Want an experience that is both fun and educational? Then head to the Sydney Powerhouse Museum, the city's premier science destination. There are exhibits for both adults and kids at this unique venue, which is conveniently located in the Haymarket neighbourhood.

The Novotel Sydney Central is just down the road—a comfortable and convenient place to stay for the family who loves to explore culture at the best museums in Sydney.

If you're the type who'd rather spend their time exploring the great outdoors than relaxing in your hotel room, the ibis Sydney Darling Harbour is perfect. All the comforts of home and easy Grab N Go options from the hotel restaurant so you and the kids can skip interruptions to your adventure.
