Fun things to do in Sydney

If you’ve been living here almost all your life and still can’t think of things to do in Sydney you’re not alone. The funny thing is, when friends from out of town ask locals what to do in Sydney we’re simply full of great, creative ideas and can easily list all the wonderful Sydney attractions to explore. But when it comes to entertaining ourselves or taking our own kids out on the town, all of a sudden, ideas and places to visit in Sydney  become much of a blur. Yet there is so much to see and do in the NSW capital city from skydiving and helicopter flights over the harbour to romantic getaways and day spas, you’ll be spoilt for choice for fun Sydney experiences.

RedBalloon have inexpensive experiences starting from $20 and low price kids activities from $25.

Not only will it be ultra exhilarating seeing everything from way up high, it’s one of the most spectacular vantage points of this sunny city and sure to build on those special memories.
