Despite it being kitsch and full of bad architecture and ordinary restaurants there is enough great things to make it work. Kids playground is great, Chinese garden a nice retreat and outdoors spaces- Jesse JohnstonFebruary 7, 2015Cute harbour with beautiful views of the Sydney skyline and regular fireworks on Saturday nights.

Wathira NgangaMarch 13, 2015Everywhere to eat in Darling Harbour costs an arm and a leg, except maybe the food court at Harbourside. Still, a nice place to take a stroll, especially at night when all the shops light up.Upvoted Sep 15
Tracy LohDecember 8, 2018harbor with a lot of modern architecture around, there's malls, offices, playgrounds and open space all around the area for exploring. or just sit down and people watch. https://t.co/Ab6qccDJwe
- Crystal DDecember 21, 2016Must visit this place!!! Many shops and restaurants for foodies!!! Lovely views the harbour. Luna Park is nearby. Can get very loud and crowded but certainly worth the visit.
- π»πππΓ‘ππ β¨January 4, 2016Nice harbour to walk around especially with kids, nice restaurants along the way, playground and of course fantastic view
Come at night for the romance and fireworks every Saturday and Sunday. Bring the family, let the kids play in the playground behind and grab something to eat for the show.
Natalie DunnDecember 22, 2018One of my favourite places in Sydney for dining. Great choice of restaurants, bars and tourists (and local) attractions. Very spacious, modern and a fun place to be.
ELS Universal English CollegeAugust 18, 2011Darling Harbour is beautiful. There are so many things to see and do, including IMAX Theatre, Sydney Aquarium, Maritime Museum, ten pin bowling, karaoke and heaps of places to eat and drink.
Ashley HoweApril 4, 2016Love this place. There's always something going on here. Maritime Museum is great and there's plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from.
Steve NashNovember 24, 2017Seems like it's constantly being renovated. Always something new to see. Nice for a summer night walk.
Krishna PrasadDecember 31, 2014Scenic Harbour and lots to do nearby. Do not miss iMax and star casinos. There is also Madame Tussaud sealife and wildlife.

Kyriaki VasilakiApril 17, 2015Great lunch spots and breakfast menus all around. A nice venue to start or end your day in Sydney.
Jamal Al-MutairiApril 21, 2014Best place in Sydney! I love it! It had great food, shops and view . It's a great place to spend the day
I love just waking around here. Saturday fireworks! If you want to take a cruise, check the packages for the museums also.
heather keyJuly 19, 2018Cheap easy parking, great park, restaurants and buskers. Oh and did i mention the lindt cafe
Alexey EgorovFebruary 5, 2012A very wonderful place on a sunny day for a breakfast or in the evening for some drinks... You will love it if you've once been there! :)
David BernalSeptember 19, 2015Come here for a walk and nice eating. If you have kids there is an amazing kids area.- Jack SmithOctober 7, 2022The harbour might seem lacking public transport, however "Exhibition Centre", "Convention" & "Pyrmont Bay" Light Rail Stations are hidden just out of sight, behind the buildings they serve on L1 Line
Good place to chill near the water. Saturday evening fireworks at 8.30.
Loads of bars, clubs and restaurants along the water. You can watch the fireworks at 9pm
DidiTH Ad! W!jaYaFebruary 17, 2012Must visit place after Sydney Opera House & Harbour Bridge when you arrived in sydney. :)
don't miss the fireworks every Saturday at 9:00 pm :) and you should try the close by restaurants.
Endearing and enduring landmark, in spite of its tourist kitsch and neon excesses. Spend a lazy afternoon here and check out the event-of-the-day - experience Sydney anew from a visitor's perspective!
The Employee of the MonthFebruary 6, 2016You need about 45 min to walk the harbor but leave time for the zoo and other museums housed here
Not much cover in hot wet bad weather needs more access to transport to get more people to use the space conveniently especially those with small children maybe a free loop bus to location
Quentin LafonAugust 2, 2014Very popular and nice place in Sydney ! Lots of good restaurants & bars !
