Finding the museum

Madame Tussauds Sydney is on Aquarium Wharf at Darling Harbour, next to SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium and WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo. Walk in from the King Street or Market Street pedestrian bridges or across Pyrmont Bridge.

• By train or metro: a short walk from Town Hall or Wynyard station, or 13 minutes on foot from Barangaroo metro station.
• By ferry or light rail: ferries run from Circular Quay Wharf 5 to Darling Harbour; on the light rail, use Convention or Pyrmont Bay.
• Before arrival: leave time for the journey and entry checks so you are ready for your booked slot.

Useful stops along the way

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

• Accessible toilets and changing facilities.
• Bench seating at intervals through the zones.
• Wheelchairs to borrow at admissions, first come, first served.
• Cafés and restaurants around Darling Harbour.

Arrive about 10 minutes before your time slot; the venue is cashless. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

Madame Tussauds Sydney is on one level and wheelchair and pram friendly throughout, though large motorised wheelchairs may not reach every area and some floors are uneven. Escape The Noise kits and Xtra Eyes kits are available at admissions, and carers with a Companion Card enter free.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• If you are bringing a stroller, confirm the current arrangements before arrival.
• Ask museum staff for assistance or directions during your visit.

Enjoy the figures thoughtfully

• Keep to the visitor paths, walk rather than run, and supervise children.
• Handle the figures gently, keep to the route and leave room for others taking photographs.
• Smoking and animals are not permitted on the site.
• Commercial photography and filming, including product promotion, need permission.
• Follow the signs and staff guidance, including any restrictions in the exhibition spaces.

Eating and drinking are not allowed inside, apart from light snacks bought on site.

Make time for a pause

Darling Harbour has plenty of cafés, restaurants and bars for a meal before or after your visit.

• Stop for breakfast, lunch, a hot drink or refreshments nearby.
• Leave room in your plans to sit down and enjoy the setting.
• Check opening hours and menus on the day; food and drinks are purchased separately.

Visiting on a weekday outside school holidays, or after 14:00, is usually quieter.

A few details worth planning

• Book ahead: choose the date, time and places you want to visit before making other plans.
• Keep your QR ticket ready: save it on your phone or bring a printed copy, with any proof needed for reduced admission.
• Start in the right place: go to Aquarium Wharf and have your ticket ready to scan at the entrance.
• Dress for exploring: a charged phone for photographs and your booking details make the visit easier.
• Leave space to linger: allow about two hours to see every zone.
