It’s the middle of the year, and the city suddenly comes alive with a range of things to do. Whether you’ve got kids or want to explore the city with some friends, we’ve rounded up the top five things happening this June.

For families

Wrangle the kids for a fun filled adventure through four of Sydney’s best attractions. With the Sydney Triple Attractions Combo Pass, you’re able to choose from SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium, Sydney Tower EYE, Madame Tussauds Sydney or WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo.

Visit SEA Life Sydney Aquarium as your first attraction and receive a pass for another 2 attractions. Space out your visits as you have 12 months to visit the first attraction from date of purchase and then 30 days to see the others from first visit.

Another option for a fun-filled family day out is Luna Park. With rides available to suit all ages, your kids will have a great day out whether it’s on the Ferris wheel or the Wild Mouse rollercoaster that takes you right over the water before zooming back into the park. NRMA Members receive 20% off unlimited ride passes at Luna Park, so don't forget to pre-purchase before heading out.

With friends

Grab a few of your arty friends and guide them in the direction of the Sydney Film Festival. This festival starts on the 7th of June and goes until the 18th. There’s a range of movies on offer, such as Elemental, which tells the story of a fiery young woman named Ember whose friendship with a go-with-the-flow guy named Wade challenges her beliefs about the world they live in. Or perhaps you’d enjoy Red, White & Brass, based on a true story that sees Tongan rugby superfans trick their way to the Rugby World Cup by forming a marching band - despite having never played.

You can buy a single adult ticket for $19.90 or get a flexi pass that allows you to see 10, 20 or 30 movies. The prices for these start from $170. Find out more about the ticket prices and what’s on offer.

With both

For a more lowkey adventure with the family or friends, enjoy cheap movie tickets and save up to 35% off at your nearest Event Cinemas. See the latest superhero adventure, comedy, rom com with the girls or feel some childhood nostalgia with a reimagined classic.

You can purchase an adult voucher from $12.50 up to $16.50 or maybe you want to treat yourself and go Gold Class with prices from $26 up to $32 per adult.

For couples

The Vivid festival has you covered for the next month of date nights as it starts on the 26th of May to the 17th of June. There are spectacular light exhibits scattered all over Sydney that takeover some of our most well-known spots, including the Sydney Opera House or the Sydney Harbour Bridge, as well as interactive light exhibits for you to play with. There are a range of talks on the creative industry and technology at Vivid as well.

If you don’t want to trek home, look into staying the night at Travelodge Wynyard, this Vivid festival they’re offering 15% off stays, 2-for-1 breakfast and a 1hr Vivid Sydney Harbour cruise.

See Vivid from the water with great cruise options. NRMA Members can get a 1hr Vivid cruise with My Fast Ferry for just $20! Or make a night out of it with a harbour cruise. Don’t worry about fighting the crowds for the best spot as you’ll be able to see everything from the comfort of the boat.

Relax and enjoy what Sydney has to offer for this month, as there’s bound to be something on that you’ll enjoy. Whether you head off to Vivid or decide to go to the aquarium, don’t forget to redeem any benefits you have before heading out.
