Underwater Drones: Marine Discovery

If your kids are basically part-fish and obsessed with tech, you need to head down to the Maritime Museum for the Underwater Drones experience. This is some next-level holiday fun where they can pilot actual ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles) into the depths of Sydney Harbour without getting a drop of water on their tracky dacks. It’s hands-on, high-tech, and honestly pretty cool for the adults too. While the kids are busy exploring the sub-surface shipwrecks and fishy friends via a live camera feed, you can pretend you’re captain of the HMAS Vampire nearby. It’s a brilliant way to sneak some STEM learning into the holidays without the rugrats realising they’re actually being educated. Plus, a day at Darling Harbour is always a winner plenty of space to run around and enough ice cream shops to keep the peace. It’s a high-seas adventure that’s flat out fascinating!
