Hoorah! I am going to Sydney for a friend's wedding next week.
We will have four whole days to ourselves there. I really want to see the zoo and the aquarium. Does anyone have any suggestions of other fun things to do with a 17 month old in tow? And of any good child-friendly places to eat? Also, does anyone have any recommendations for the zoo itself, for example, animal feeding shows or displays that are must-sees. I did want to see Bondi Beach as well, but think it may be a bit too hot for DD to be outside out of the shade. Any thouhts?  ------------- |

The aquarium is awesome! We took our 5 month old who seemed to love it, so I'm sure a toddler will be far more interested!
Zoo has a great website with lots of info about feeding shows and displays etc so you can plan your time. |

If you are getting a hire car, then go to Featherdale Wildlife Park.
You can't go to oz and not pat a kangaroo... |

Go on the ferry to Manly - only takes about 30 minutes to get there and theres lots of nice places for lunch, beach etc - wicked place loved it! 
Are you going to have a car or will you be public transport? If so there is a special card that you get at the airport and its an all day pass for 7 days (we got it even though we were only there for 3 days) and it took us everywhere we wanted to go, even includes the ferry ride to Manly, Luna Park etc, to Bondi - everywhere it was awesome. The aquarium was awesome, quite expensive - but then again most touristy things are arent they! Darling Harbour has nice gardens and a playground there. I just love love love love love Sydney!  ------------- TTC 6 years IVF it is IVF/ICSI round one 10 eggs, 8 mature, 3 fertilised BFN IVF/ICSI #2 = 22 eggs! 20 mature, 15 fertilised, 1 fresh transfer and 2 frosties BFN 2 Frosties still in freezer thank god |
