How to get the most out of your Dine & Discover vouchers
Family Fun
You can use your Discover vouchers at SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium, Madame Tussauds Sydney and WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo - all within minutes walking distance of each other in Darling Harbour. Choose between walking through underground glass tunnels and seeing sharks, dewgongs and rays, exploring the bush and running into kangaroos and crocodiles, or meeting the Queen of England and Spider Man (as wax models, of course).
To save even more and make your little ones’ day, buy a Sydney Big Ticket Combo online and see all three attractions for as little as $16 per location.
After all that adventuring, chances are the kids are going to be starving. We recommend a trip to Betty's Burgers and Concrete Co. for the best cheeseburgers in Sydney - followed by a gigantic stack of chocolate peanut butter pancakes at Pancakes at The Rocks Darling Square or Pancakes on the Rocks at Harbourside (all places will accept your Dine NSW vouchers).
Or if the kids are carnivores head to I’m Angus Steakhouse for melt-in-your-mouth Wagyu steaks, panoramic sea views and a super long wine list. For for a little live music and American food get down to the Hard Rock Cafe Sydney where the BBQ bacon cheeseburger and the New York Cheesecake are must-trys.
Romancing
You know what’s better than a romantic night out? A romantic night out for less with your Dine & Discover vouchers.
We recommend starting by using a voucher each to go on a twilight sail on the Sydney Harbour on the Duyfken - a realistic replica of the first European ship to reach Australia centuries ago. Visit the Australian National Maritime Museum Website to book.
Once you’re back on dry land, walk along the waterfront to Cafe Del Mar’s rooftop terrace. Order mocktails and some Mediterranean bites and watch the sunset over Sydney’s stunning harbour.
Next, cosy up in the artful surrounds of Auvers Cafe in Darling Square and try luxurious dishes like lobster on souffle and salmon watermelon salad. If you’ve got room, their desserts are legendary - go for the matcha pancakes and thank us later.
Alternatively, if you’d like dinner with a view stroll along the water to Harbour Bar & Kitchen, which has a massive outdoor terrace overlooking the city and the harbour. The perfectly prepared modern Australian food and cocktails don’t hurt either!
Friends
We recommend starting by knocking down some pins at Kingpin Bowling in Harbourside. This entertainment complex has bowling, laser tag, an arcade, table tennis and a fully licensed bar serving cocktails and eats.
If you’d rather see the local wildlife SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium, WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo, Madame Tussauds Sydney and the Australian National Maritime Museum all accept Dine & Discover vouchers as well.
When it’s time to eat, you’re absolutely spoiled for choice. You could go for fried chicken and Japanese izakaya vibes at Nakano Darling, sea views and stone fire pizza at Planar, or authentic Vietnamese at Hello Auntie.
There’s amazing value and delicious Aussie food at Rashays and traditional Indonesian cuisine prepared with modern techniques at Kusuka. Down the road in Darling Square you’ll find delicious dry ramen slathered in chilli oil at IIKO Mazesoba and crispy chicken at Goobne.
The food here may be amazing but we won’t judge you if you skip dinner and go straight to dessert with the best gelato in Sydney at Gelatissimo, or delicious towers of strawberry Kakigori at Dopa by Devon.
