Best Things to Do in Sydney, with kids
Fo Guang Shan Nan Tien Temple is 71% Kids-Friendly
School-age children enjoy climbing the eight-level pagoda and monthly craft stalls, yet parents must enforce temple etiquette and there are no play areas, so the visit is fun but only moderately child-focused.
Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

Cockle Bay Wharf is 71% Kids-Friendly
School-age children can ride pedal boats, see free fireworks, or walk 5 min to the huge Darling Quarter playground, yet open water edges and limited on-site play gear lower overall family comfort.
Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

St Andrew's Cathedral is 70% Kids-Friendly
Families with children find Sunday kids’ church, holiday colouring packs, and impressive bell-ringing engaging, yet the nave expects silence and there is no playground or café for restless kids.

Martin Place is 70% Kids-Friendly

BridgeClimb Sydney is 67% Kids-Friendly
Children 8–12 years over 120 cm can join with smaller harnesses and earn a certificate, which feels heroic, but long ladders, 2–3 hour duration, and high price risk fatigue, fear, and boredom for some kids.
Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

Newtown is 66% Kids-Friendly
Kids can enjoy large playgrounds at Sydney Park and Camperdown Park, colourful street art hunts and family films, yet heavy traffic and limited dedicated toilets lower convenience for parents.

Anzac Memorial is 66% Kids-Friendly
School-holiday soldier workshops, Discovery Trail and star-casting engage 5-12s, yet war themes are heavy, silence is expected and there is no playground or food court to burn energy.

White Rabbit Gallery is 66% Kids-Friendly
Children are allowed, lift fits prams, staff are friendly, but artworks are fragile, no hands-on exhibits or play area, so kids under 12 may tire quickly and need close supervision.

Sydney Town Hall is 62% Kids-Friendly
Pipe-organ demos, colourful tiles and the free city scale model fascinate school-age kids for about an hour. Clock-tower tour bans under-15s, and there is no play area or hands-on exhibit to burn energy.
