Hosting an Olympic games leaves an indelible mark on a city, and
The park remains a favorite destination for tourists to the city who want to capture for themselves some of the excitement of the Olympics. Because of the size of the park, the best idea is to stop off at the visitor center first to obtain information, maps, and book your guided tours. One of the best ways to start is with the self-guided audio tour that acquaints you with the major attractions and also includes entry into the Aquatic Centre and the 17th Floor Observation Deck where visitors can take in some astonishing views of the area. This tour can also be combined with a bike rental if you prefer to get around on two wheels rather than on foot. Other unique tours include a tour of the Aquatics Centre where you can test the pool out for yourself, the Explorer Tour which highlights the way the area has been designed, and the Games Trail Walking Tour that explores in more depth the Olympic heritage of the venue. Be aware that you’ll need to call ahead to pre-book some of the tours.
In addition to the tours, visitors can also check out the multiple recreational opportunities, including the trapeze lessons that take place near Telstra Stadium. The park contains quality accommodations and dining options and is also home to many fantastic arts and culture events. For those who prefer the natural world, bring a picnic and enjoy some birdwatching. With no shortage of things to see and do, the Olympic Park is an excellent destination for anyone visiting
