By: Holly Royce, 29 December 2023

Alright mums and dads, it's that time again! The school bell has rung its last, the backpacks are tucked away, and the kids are bouncing off the walls with holiday energy.

If you're anything like me, you're probably brainstorming ways to channel this endless enthusiasm into something memorable (and let's be honest, to keep the little darlings from turning the house upside down).

Well, fear not! I've discovered the ultimate school holiday escapade that’s guaranteed to be a hit with the kiddos and a sanity-saver for you – the Sydney Double Attractions Combo Pass featuring WILD LIFE Sydney and SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium.  Thanks to Experience Oz, we're talking about a double whammy of wildlife wonders and underwater escapades that will make these holidays the talk of the playground!

A Family Day Out at WILD LIFE Sydney and SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium 

A Wild Encounter at WILD LIFE Sydney

Sydney WILDLIFE park
Up close with Australia's adorable wildlife – an enchanting experience at WILD LIFE Sydney!

Our adventure kicks off at WILD LIFE Sydney, where you'll come face-to-face with Australia's most iconic animals! Picture this: strolling through habitats featuring kangaroos, koalas, and even a crocodile. My toddler was over the moon, and I have to admit, so was I!

One of the perks of this combo pass is the seamless proximity of both attractions. Right next to each other, you can effortlessly transition between the captivating world of WILD LIFE Sydney and the mesmerizing wonders of SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium. Stress-free exploration, especially when dealing with excited little ones!

Next, we dived into the wonders of the SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium. It's like stepping into a different world – one where colourful fish, majestic sharks, and adorable penguins coexist. The underwater tunnels were a hit, offering an immersive experience that had us all captivated.

Both WILD LIFE Sydney and SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium offer interactive and educational experiences. It's not just about observing; it's about engaging and learning. These attractions provide the perfect opportunity for our kids to learn about wildlife and marine conservation, making the fun also meaningful.

Easy-Peasy for Busy Bees

We all really enjoyed the no-fuss aspect of the combo pass. Easy online booking, digital tickets, and fast-track entry – it's as if they know we have enough on our plates! This hassle-free experience meant more time enjoying the attractions and less time worrying about logistics.

The Need-To-Know For Busy Families:

Both locations offer stroller access, making navigating with a toddler a breeze!


Stroller Access and Accessibility Considerations: Navigating with little ones is a breeze with designated stroller access. WILD LIFE Sydney and SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium provide smooth pathways and accessible areas, allowing you to explore with the convenience of a stroller.

Baby Changing Facilities: Stay stress-free with well-equipped baby-changing facilities. Clean and comfortable spaces where parents can attend to their little adventurers, ensuring a hassle-free experience. You'll find them conveniently placed throughout both attractions so you'll never have to go to long with a smell nappy in tow.

Designated Rest Areas: Recognising the importance of downtime, both spots feature designated rest areas. Take a break, relax, and recharge in comfortable spaces placed strategically throughout the attractions and let the little ones shake their sillies out.

Optimal Timing for Wildlife Wonders

Riding on a Wombat
There is so much for little kids to see, touch and climb on at these attractions. 


The WILD LIFE Sydney adventure took us approximately an hour and SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium slightly longer, closer to two hours. For routine-loving explorers, plan your visit during the morning or early afternoon to align with opening hours. This timing allows you to conclude your wildlife escapade just in time for a tranquil lunch or a rejuvenating afternoon nap – a nap-friendly oasis for both the little and not-so-little ones. It's the ideal blend of excitement and relaxation, making your family day out delightful and well-paced.

Post-Adventure Excitement at Darling Quarter

Extend the excitement by exploring Darling Quarter after your wildlife and underwater adventures. This vibrant precinct offers free family-friendly attractions, including playgrounds and open spaces. The perfect opportunity for the little ones to burn off some remaining energy or enjoy a leisurely post-adventure picnic.

The Sydney Double Attractions Combo Pass with WILD LIFE Sydney and SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium is an incredible opportunity for families to explore, learn, and have a ton of fun.
