Sydney with family
Sydney works well for families because many highlights are outdoors, visual, and easy to combine. Ferries, beaches, gardens, zoo trips, museums, harbour walks, and Darling Harbour can all be built into low-stress days.
Family-friendly ideas
Take the ferry to Taronga Zoo, walk the Botanic Garden, visit Darling Harbour, choose a beach with facilities, or keep the first day close to Circular Quay so nobody spends the whole day in transit.
