The school holidays are almost here again and it doesn’t look like any families from the Sutherland Shire will be making tracks to Movie World or riding any Melbourne trams this September. With border restrictions firmly still in place between the states, we’ll all be looking for entertainment that’s nearer to home.

Thankfully, we live in one of the best cities in the world and there’s an absolute ton of entertainment on offer right here. Better yet, it’s all within under an hour’s travel from the Shire, so you don’t have to worry about how many times you’ll have to stop along the way or about keeping kids amused on the plane ride there!

Where to go

Start at Darling Harbour and walk beneath the colourful aquatic creatures at SEA LIFE Sydney, then get up close and personal to the amazing animals at WILD LIFE Sydney. 

There, you’re also right next door to Madame Tussauds wax museum, where the kids will love having their picture taken beside the like(nesse)s of Taylor Swift, Aquaman, Lady Gaga and Wolverine, just to name a few.

You can head to the observation deck of Sydney Tower eye (currently on a Buy One Get One free special) and enjoy the breathtaking 360-degree views of the city and its beautiful beaches, or head down south for views of a different kind as you make your way via treetop walkways across the Illawarra Fly Treetop Walk and take in the stunning scenery of the warm temperate rainforest.

All venues are encouraging online booking, and unless you want to spend an agonising amount of time waiting in line though- only to get stung paying twice the price at the door- you’d best sort out your plans before you go. 

The best way to book

Luckily for you, we’ve found just the website you need to make your holidays a breeze. If you want to book a combination of any or all of these activities in one spot, for the best price possible, you’ll want to head to Klook.
