How Kids-Friendly is Sydney Fish Market?

76%Kids-Friendly
View Map

What makes it 76% Kids-Friendly: Children 6-12 enjoy fish-and-chips, live crab tanks, sushi classes, and age-10+ behind-the-scenes tours; seagulls, raw-seafood smells, and crowd density mean parents must supervise closely.

Positives:

  • Free Entry: No cost to enter the market areas so you can wander stalls at your own pace.
  • Wide Aisles: Easy for strollers and little feet to move between vendors safely.

Challenges:

  • Strong Seafood Smell: The market has a heavy fish aroma that may bother sensitive noses.
  • Crowds on Weekends: It gets busy by late morning; kids may feel overwhelmed in tight spaces.

This is the best one stop sea food centre of Sydney with ample choices of fresh and cooked seafood variety. Although the prices are slightly higher than some other fish shops in western Sydney, the range and variety is massive specially prawns , crabs,oyters and lobsters. Very vibrant and lots of eateries. Its a must visit place

It's my first time in Sydney as well as in this market. Compared to Singapore's wet market, the fish are very neatly arranged and fresh looking. The food were delicious and inexpensive for seafood.
