Sydney Outdoor Activities – Best Fun & Kids Nature Things To Do Outside

For wildlife lovers and nature enthusiasts, nothing beats the animal experiences at any of the zoos in Sydney. Featherdale Wildlife Park houses some of the country’s cutest native wildlife, so there’s no surprise you’ll find beautiful koalas here. Alternatively, explore the marine life at the Sea Life Sydney Aquarium and learn about the more than 13,000 sea creatures that call this aquarium home.

Take on the thrill of canyoning when you push adventure to the limits with this popular outdoor activity. The Grand Canyon, which is located out in the Blue Mountains, is the perfect place to kickstart this adventure; featuring a number of rough sections. Serendipity Canyon also promises an unforgettable experience worthy of your time.

Closely related to canyoning is caving; a popular outdoor activity that oddly involves exploring caves. Popular caving destinations include Jenolan Caves, Rad Hands Cave, as well as the Blue Mountain Caves.

For those who’d a slower pace but still enjoy the great outdoors, then horse riding is a fun activity. It is not only ideal for the whole family, but it is also a great way of learning a new sport. Centennial Parklands has great offers for those interested in horse riding, as does Sydney Trail Riding Centre.

An outdoor adventure in Sydney is incomplete without taking a climb of its most iconic structure – the Sydney Harbour Bridge. These climbs are aimed at discovering the splendid beauty of the city from a bird’s eye view. Dawn, morning, twilight and night climbs are available to suit different preferences.
