IMAX Theatre Sydney

Today, I want to share my experience about Imax Theatre Sydney at Darling Harbour. 

I took my family to see a 3D movie at Imax Theatre Sydney. My kids are so happy. It is amazing, beautiful experience, because the screen is huge. IMAX is the greatest movie experience.

The IMAX Theatre building is very noticeable using yellow and black checkerboard style on the building gives Imax theatre a unique characteristic.

Imax theatre using crystal clear images and the screen is ten times bigger compared to the standard movie theatre appearance plus the digital surround sound make the sound come from every corner of the room.

Imax theatre is the world's biggest cinema screen with size at 29.42 meters high by 35.73 meters wide. The height is up to eight storeys building high. Imax theatre has 540 seats capacity.

Watch spectacular 2D and 3D movies on the World's biggest theatre screen. Watch the highest quality movie with massive screen and collection of several movies including documentary movie, it's really give the best experience for everyone.

The IMAX 3D movie sensation brings you in to the movie. It's make it so real, make you feel like you really want to touch it.

Sydney Aquarium

Sydney Aquarium is definitely recommended as one among the greatest place to visit in Sydney. It is one of Sydney's the most popular attractions. A vacation to Sydney Aquarium has always been great activity for family, especially for the kids.

Sydney Aquarium located on the eastern side of Darling Harbour and next to Wild Life Sydney.

A lot of people visit Sydney Aquarium everyday. Family, tour and school students. And many tourists too, local and overseas tourists.

Approximately 650 species consisting of more than 12,000 fish and water creatures. 

The best part at Sydney Aquarium is walking through under water see-through tunnel where you can see many sharks from small to huge sharks. They swim quietly on top of you. You will see many other big fish too including massive stingrays and giant turtles.

Dugongs, penguins, jellyfish, a lot of colourful fish and the largest Great Barrier Reef display in the world. The variety of water creature is really amazing.

Take the opportunity from the informative talks to understand more details on the Dugongs or the Great Barrier Reef and in the afternoon you can see penguin colony feeding time.

Make sure you have the opportunity to get hands-on with the touch pools. Kids really love this activity.

Chinese Garden

Chinese Garden also known as Chinese Garden of Friendship is actually located in the middle of Sydney city at Southern end of Darling Harbour close to Sydney Entertainment Centre and Sydney Chinatown.

Chinese Garden specially designed and built by Chinese landscape architects and gardeners. The Garden is literally governed by the Taoist principals associated with Yin Yang and also the five elements: water, fire, earth, wood and metal.

The gardens were formally launched in 1988 and this garden was called the Garden of Friendship which represents the link established between Guangzhou in China and Sydney in Australia.

Travel along the snaky pathways as they take you through private courtyards and also traditional pagoda design pavilions.

A fortyfive minutes audio tour is actually available at Chinese Garden and so it gives comprehensive understanding of the structure philosophy as well as history of the Garden.

Chinese Garden makes you feel like you walk back into Chinese ancient world. The experience, nature, design as well as culture make you imagine that you were in China.

Enjoy yourself in the beautiful garden including features like waterfalls, running water, beautiful plants, sheltered pavilions, lagoons with lotus plants, bridges, colourful fishes, sculpture and stone walkways.

Taronga Zoo

Taronga Zoo is the zoo that situated on the spectacular Sydney Harbour, located at Bradleys Head Road in the suburb of Mosman, which is actually not far from Sydney city.

Taronga zoo officially opened on 7 October 1916.

To get there, you can catch a bus from Wynyard bus station in the City to Main entrance of Taronga Zoo. It only takes around half an hour. We also can use ferry from Circular Quay, it only takes about 12 minutes ride. Or if you drive, there is a carpark building for a fee.

Taronga Zoo is open every single day of the year including Christmas Day. The business hours is from 9:00am to 5:00pm, except on 31 December (New Year’s Eve) the opening hour from 9:00am to 4:00pm.

The location of Taronga zoo is really special due to the fact it is situated on higher land with the view of spectacular Sydney Harbour overlooking the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House.

While you see all the animals at Taronga Zoo, you certainly will also enjoy the harbour views. There is ferry terminal just a cross Taronga Zoo, so you only need to step off the boat and walk directly into the zoo.

I prefer to start the walk from the main entrance adjacent to the carpark building. The first reason is really because we intend to walk downhill, therefore we are not too tired.  The second reason is while we walk downhill that’s mean we are facing to the harbour, so we can easily see the beauty of Sydney Harbour, we also can see Harbour Bridge, high rise building in the city, as well as Opera House. When you reach the bottom you can go back to the top by Sky Safari Cable Car. Use of the Sky Safari Cable Car is included in the ticket price.

Sydney Opera House

Sydney Opera House is considered to be Sydney's best known landmark and became one of the world’s iconic buildings as well as one of the most famous performing arts venues in the world.

Sydney Opera House is located at Bennelong Point, Circular Quay East.

Experience Sydney Opera House one of the world's most artistic and busiest cultural movement and greatest of modern architecture.

Sydney Opera House is adored internationally and proudly treasured of the people of Australia.

To get there, I prefer to use public transport. We can take a train to Circular Quay train station or take a Ferry to Circular Quay Ferry Terminal or we can take a bus or taxi.

From Circular Quay, it's actually only a few minutes’ walk to Sydney Opera House. If you drive, there is public car park for a fee at Sydney Opera House.

If you think you wish to see more or get more information regarding Sydney Opera House, it’s better to join the tour so that you can experience the spectacular of The Sydney Opera House.

The Sydney Opera House Tour will familiarize you.

There are several restaurants as well as bars on the location and nearby areas. There are some hotels around the area too.

It’s also a great idea to visit surrounding areas such as Sydney Royal Botanic Garden and also the historic The Rocks area.
