Tip: Use the free app map to locate lifts and baby-change rooms.
Kids on Deck Soft Play:

We had a great family day at the National Maritime Museum in Sydney! My daughter loved going inside the submarine and Captain Cook’s ship.

A perfect mix of history, learning, and fun. Definitely worth a visit!
