FUN AND FREE THINGS TO DO
When you’re looking for free things to do in Sydney with the kids these school holidays, there’s only one place you need to go - Darling Harbour. Sydney’s favourite harbourside precinct has a school holiday schedule packed with interactive installations, water playgrounds, fireworks, plus lots more!
And the best part? These activities are completely free and won't cost you a cent.
Cupid's Koi Garden
If you're looking for things to do in Sydney this summer, a magical marine world awaits in Cupid’s Koi Garden, a six-metre-tall immersive water-play installation splashing summer fun on all within reach.
Within the world’s first inflatable fountain, the kids will be serenaded by submerged sounds and spritzed by the cheeky cherub Cupid and his ten friendly koi fish squirting choreographed water jets.
After splashing around in the fountains of Cupid's Koi Garden, the kids can get even more wet without having to fight for a patch of sand at the beach at the Darling Harbour Water Play area right next to Tumbalong Park. Don't forget to bring sunscreen and a change of clothes!
Catch spectacular fireworks displays light up the sky at 9pm every Saturday night.
After making it through another year of school, the kids (and parents!) deserve something special. Why not treat the fam with some ice cream, pancakes, doughnuts or a delicious meal from these family friendly Darling Harbour venues...
