There’s nothing like being excited for a holiday and then having it rain when you get to your destination! Don’t let the weather dampen your trip. I’ve put a list together of places to go when the weather isn’t cooperating. Here’s some ideas for what to do in Sydney when it rains.

The main things I would recommend doing when it’s raining is to check out the Wild Life Zoo, Sydney Sea Life Aquarium, and Wax Museum. All three are located near each other in Darling Harbour, and they are all indoors! You can even buy an annual Merlin pass for $99 that lets you in to all 3 and a few other tourist spots (Sydney Tower Eye, Manly Aquarium) around town. If you only want to pay for one, I recommend going to the The Wildlife Zoo; try to catch a keeper talk if you can. The Sea Life Aquarium offers a unique boat penguin ride that’s short but pretty cool.
