Grabbing flights to Sydney brings manifold rewards for those planning family holidays with kids. The city offers everything that is needed while planning a perfect family vacation, be it places to visit and things to do that are kid-friendly.

Spellbinding the senses with a colourful assortment of kid-friendly delights, Sydney attracts thousands of family vacationers, every year. With numerous fun theme parks, native wildlife attractions, giant screen theatres, hands on museums, great beaches for surfing and myriads of kid-centric activities, Sydney lives up to all the expectations that spell blissful holidays.

Quite unsurprisingly, Sydney tops the itineraries of a fair share of British family vacationers booking flights to Australia. With an abundance of package holiday deals and cheap flight tickets to Sydney from the UK, the best time for travelling with kids to Sydney proves to be the summer months, especially during school holidays. Here is a sampling of top 10 kid-friendly attractions in Sydney.

Royal Botanic Gardens

Teeming with beautiful birds, awesome flowers and mesmerizing stretches of greenery, Royal Botanic Garden offers a true antidote to the hurly-burly of city life. This highly acclaimed attraction is a must-visit for families booking their cheap flights to Sydney. Some of the infinite claims to fame for this attraction remain the rare Wolleemi Pine tree, the South Pacific Plant collection, the appealing arid garden and the aromatic rose garden.

Sydney Aquarium

Quite like the Royal Botanic Gardens, a trip to the Sydney Aquarium is a must for those booking cheap flights to Sydney. Myriad rewarding experiences await those flocking here. Visitors taking holidays with kids can treat their kids to close views of sharks, stingrays and colourful fish species from the underwater viewing tunnels. In fact, there is a host of other attractions to be enjoyed like the Great Barrier Reef exhibit, Seal Sanctuary and the sharks in the Open Ocean section.

Koala Park Sanctuary

There is certainly nothing more rewarding than treating kids to amazing sights of koalas and other native wildlife species after booking flights to Australia. Fortunately, those planning Sydney holidays with kids can head on to the Koala Park Sanctuary to see the lush rainforest, eucalypt groves and native gardens. This sanctuary promises to treat kids with amazing sightings of exotic species like Koalas, red & grey kangaroos, dingoes, wombats, echidnas, emus, etc.

Powerhouse Museum

The Powerhouse Museum is one of the most interesting, family-friendly museums of technology and culture. With amazing exhibits and displays based on the diverse themes and technologies that have changed the world, this museum offers thought-provoking experiences! The specially designed KidSpace area remains the key highlight for children.

The Australian Museum

The Australian Museum is one of the country’s oldest museums and a key kid holiday location that houses anthropology and natural history collections. While youngsters can be treated to the special exhibits and activities, smaller kids can be treated to a fairy tale experience with the Kids Island, a fantasy play area for kids.

The Australian National Maritime Museum

The Australian National Maritime Museum, located at Darling Harbour, is a repository of national maritime history and features documents and relics from different periods. A visit to this museum is a must for all enthusiasts. The special exhibits, real lighthouse and the chance to scramble over boats and submarines can be a very enriching experience for the kids. Those having kids should definitely book flights to Sydney to explore the Australian National Maritime Museum!

Fairfield City Farm

Those taking flights to Sydney to let their city kids get a hands-on experience of the farm lifestyle should give Fairfield City Farm a serious thought. This 500 acre farm in the western suburbs offers a chance to see all kinds of farm animals, native and exotic species. Shearing, milking, stockwhip demonstrations, giant horses, an animal nursery and tractor rides are the irresistible lure to keep the kids enthralled at here.

Clontarf Beach

The city of Beaches, Sydney offers beaches for just about everything! Out of all, Clontarf Beach is perhaps the most ideal beach for children. While little swimmers can swim in the netted-off pool area, others can play in the grassy park with a great playground right behind the beach. It is not sensible to restrict kids just to the hotel rooms when the stunning Clontarf Beach promises to keep the little ones happy for hours!

Taronga Zoo

The Taronga Zoo is yet another superlative highlight of Sydney and emerges as a veritable paradise for kids. The zoo is home to more than 350 species of exotic animals. The incredible variety of wildlife here includes kangaroos, wallabies, snow leopards, koalas, seals, snow leopards, echidna, elephants, platypus, gorillas, and giraffes. Tourists should make sure of treating their kids to an eagle’s eye view of the zoo with the exciting cable car ride.

Oceanworld Manly

Over the years, the Oceanworld Manly has been the big-ticket draw for family vacationers who travel to Sydney. This stunning attraction offers a chance to indulge in the spine tingling experience of watching sharks, stingrays, turtles and shoals of fish in the giant oceanarium.
