Pylon Lookout - The Rocks (NSW)

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.

Ji Song Honestly, pretty amazing spot to just sit and have lunch. Even on a cloudy day it was spectacular.

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.

Bobbie-Jane Wilkinson What a wonderful interesting tour. It was well set out, our guide was great, groups are small. The buildings and views are breathtaking. We will be back to do a day tour.

Shammi ASR Great place for kids to have fun. Good location for picnic, family get together and even for parties. Kids play area is well maintained with swings, slider, kids cafe/petrol station etc. Paths available for riding bicycles and scooters. Restroom and Baby changing space available.

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.

Hassam A Great experience for kids. They would really enjoy the visit. Lots of information also available as you pass through different sections. Reserve a good few hours to this place. Its great to see the massive sharks over your head as you pass through the glass ceiling walkways. Also there is a dugong inside one of the tanks. Also Penguins!

Gayl Crowe Lovely place to wander. Plenty of grass for the dog with lovely harbour views for you. Have coffee or more at the Cafe in the sailing club where your dog is welcome. Photo is from the Cafe deck. The park is big.

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).

Dmitriy Elkin This is a fantastic opportunity to experience Sydney from water. You spend nearly 90 minutes entering approximately 10 harbors. You see the whole spectrum from beautiful houses to Sydney Harbor Bridge to the Opera house to navy ships. Dirk is an excellent guide and a cool sailor. Earlier that day, we had a great morning walking tour. The speed boat drive added the whole new dimension. Strongly recommend.
