Kathryn Hammond Lovely old lookout located next to Kirribilli house. steps lead down to waterfront with plenty of seating

YE K Amazing place to take your fur family for a picnic and a swim! It beens to have become cleaner than what i remember for few years back! My babies loved it!

Yubo Zhuo Very iconic zoo in Sydney, very close to most suburbs. Great ticket value. Fun to go there. Very famous koalas live there. There are a lot of good photo locations and animal photos, spent 4 hours there and didn’t even get to see all the animals. Great zoo, recommend for tourists and anyone who wants to go.

Pat Chung The view of Sydney CBD from the Dudley Page Reserve is awesome, just its a bit far from the CBD so if you come here with a telescope, your experience would be even better. My mobile phone could zoom far distances so my pictures were still good for me. This site is good for picnic, enjoy a relaxing afternoon, watching Sydneys NYE fireworks or seeing sunset with Sydney Harbour, Sydney CBD, Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge as backdrop. Street parking is easily available and free. However, this site is located at a high land (80 m above sea level) at the eastern suburb and is close to the cliff edge, so it is usually very windy and must be cold during winter or cool weather. So please remember bringing a jacket with you. There is no shelter nor toilet available, so please bring your hat or umbrella and search for nearby toilets if you plan for visiting long hours (I used searching it by using The National Public Toilet Map created by Australian Government).

B P We visited The Calyx in mid February 2025. Entry was by donation, which you can do with the tap of a card or your phone. It is a lovely spot, pretty, neat and well set up. There a number of interesting videos running on a cycle that you can sit and watch. It is also worth combining your visit with a walk through the Botanic Gardens. Check the opening hours before you go, as it closes at 2:00pm on a couple of days each week. Well worth a visit.

Matt Really well maintained gardens that was always nice to walk through to sound of birds everywhere. Highly recommend walking through if you can. Be aware lots of tourists will randomly stop in front of you sometimes large family groups. Some will also place a tripod blocking the walkway, stand 5-10ft away and then get frustrated at you for walking through…

Camille Morgan Lovely walk good shade and nice place to swim in Chowder Bay

Louie W Ong Barangaroo Reserve has become one of my favourite spots in the city. It’s hard to believe a place this peaceful exists right next to the CBD. The views over the harbour are absolutely stunning, and it’s such a great place to go for a walk, whether you’re on your own, with family, your partner, or walking the dog. The landscaping blends in so well with the harbour, and there’s a real sense of space and calm. It’s the kind of spot that makes you slow down and take it all in. A beautiful addition to Sydney, and one that actually adds something meaningful to the city.

Bob Lunnon We took a 90 minute Sydney Tall Ships cruise on the Southern Swan today from Campbells Cove, with three grandsons. Two undertook the Mast Climb, and were at the top of the mast in the Crows Nest when we sailed under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. An unforgettable experience for all! Highly recommended.

Helen Di Domenico The elevator is behind Cafe Gigi. Unless you know about it, you wont know that it heads up to amazing views across Circular Quay and Harbour Bridge. Highly recommend going up here as the sun is setting so you get the contrast between day and night. Around New Years 2022, they closed this stretch of motorway and converted it into a concert space. Tickets to this were free - bonus! Was seriously cool! Glad I got the chance to experience this.
