As Australia's largest city, Sydney certainly isn't short of places to go and things to do. Even so, many Sydneysiders find themselves falling into uneventful weekly schedules.
If you're tired of watching the latest blockbuster every Friday night, why not try something new? Whether you're looking for a great first date destination or are simply seeking a family-friendly weekend activity, these quirky destinations are sure to excite you!
Agatha Christie fans and Average Joes alike will find their hearts racing while participating in Sydney's Escape Hunt Experience! Participants in this one-of-a-kind adventure game can select one (or more) of three mystery challenges to complete: "Robbery in the Cottage," "Extortion in the Dockyard," or "Murder in the Pub." Two to five individuals may team up in the challenge to solve a mystery. Participants will have just 60 minutes to escape from a locked room and solve these "Whodunit?" crime cases!
Though there are a handful of escape-themed experiences throughout the region, Sydney's Escape Hunt is by far one of the best. Visitors can enjoy complimentary snacks while relaxing in a waiting room tailored to their mystery's theme. All of the mysteries are based on Sydney's historic neighbourhood The Rocks and are evocative of the district in the early 1900's.
The Escape Hunt is perhaps best for adults and older teens, though children are welcome to participate as well. If you're looking for something fun to do on a rainy day, this is it!
Escape Hunt prices range from $36-$42 per person, depending on how many participants are in the group. Games begin every 1.5 hours from 10.00 am to 8.30 pm, 7 days a week.
Are you looking for something artsy and cultural to do this weekend? If so, check out the White Rabbit Collection! This fascinating museum of contemporary Chinese art is one of the only galleries of its kind in the world! Enjoy over 1,400 thought-provoking modern works by over 500 different Chinese artists! Best of all, admission to the gallery is free of charge!
If you're looking to support the White Rabbit Collection, consider enjoying some delicious tea in the museum's very own teahouse. From hot chrysanthemum tea in the winter to ice-cold lychee tea in the summer, the teahouse has something for everyone. Attendants at the teahouse will even continue to top up your teapot for as long as you'd like, absolutely free of charge! Hungry museum guests will enjoy sampling hot dumplings and delicious jam-and-cream scones as well.
The White Rabbit Collection and Teahouse are open Wednesday through Sunday, 10 am-5 pm, with standard tours running at 11 am and 2 pm daily. The museum is located at 30 Balfour Street, Chippendale, NSW, roughly 12 minutes from the Sydney Opera House.
Are you an adrenaline junkie? If so, you'll love spending a day at iFLY Downunder!
This indoor skydiving facility allows Aussies from ages 3 to 100 to experience the thrill of flying through the air. The facility is equipped with a 5-meter-wide wind tunnel chamber. Four huge turbine fans allow skydivers to experience the sensation of flying through winds of up to 250 kilometres an hour!
For as little as $89-$109, visitors can learn the skills of skydiving and enjoy two flights in the wind tunnel chamber. Equipment fees are included in the price. For optimal pricing, consider visiting at off-hours, such as weekday mornings.
Whether you're looking to make family memories or are simply seeking a fun way to spend time with your friends, you'll certainly enjoy your time spent at iFLY Downunder.
If you've got the time to escape the city for a day or two, there are few things as interesting as visiting Mount Wingen, better known as Burning Mountain. This site received its eponymous name due to the fact that the hillside has been smouldering for nearly 6,000 years! It is believed that a freak wildfire or lightning strike set the hill's natural underground coal reserve on fire millennia ago. Today, the mountain is home to the oldest continuously-burning coal deposits in the world!
This geological wonder is located in a nature reserve roughly 3.5 hours north of Sydney, making it a perfect spot to visit during a holiday weekend. Lucky travellers can enjoy the region's scenic beauty and wildlife while making the 2.5 km hike up to the top of the mountain.
Burning Mountain Nature Reserve is located at Wingen NSW 2337, Australia. Admission to the park is free of charge.
Instead of staying at home this weekend, consider getting out of the house to experience Sydney's many awe-inspiring attractions! Whether you take a quiet hike up to Burning Mountain or soar through the air with iFLY, you're guaranteed to enjoy the adventure.
