Attending Karan Aujla’s show at Qudos Bank Arena was an absolutely amazing experience! The energy in the arena was electric, and the crowd was fully charged from start to finish. Karan Aujla delivered a powerful performance with his top hits, and the production setup with lights, sound, and stage effects was outstanding. The whole atmosphere felt vibrant and well-organized, making it a memorable night for everyone. Truly a great show at a great venue!
Has a great night setting Simple Plan and The Offspring. Unfortunately no disabled queues to go in so I was nearly knocked over a couple of times with people barging in. But there was a disability line to get merchandise, so that helped. Indoor staff were lovely and very helpful and it is a great arena to hear live music.
I enjoyed visiting Qudos Bank Arena but would say my enjoyment of it definitely was a result of the show I went to see there. The arena is easily accessible by many means of transport. There is a large, multi storey carpark located right next to the venue. It is also a very short walk to get the bus or train. On the occasion I went to the arena, it was very clean and well organised. The venue definitely caters well for very large numbers of crowds. There were reasonable food and beverage options available for purchase and the bathroom facilities were good too.
Very well organised. Saw an NBL game Sydney Kings vs Tasmanian Jack Jumpers. Very loud and crowd interactive. Setup was very well done. Entry and exit was easy and well managed. Seating..my rear end was glad it didn't go longer than 2 hours but quite ok in fact better than some stadium seating. Good leg room and I'm 6'4 (194cm). Typical stadium food and drink options, a bit pricey but they always are in these venues. The kids loved the shoestring fries and popcorn. Parking was easy in the multi-storey carpark. Every entry lane went to its own floor so no competing with merging traffic going in or going out. A good experience overall.
the home of the recent Cortez, Cirque du Soleil. first time to be at the venue. Made a mistake bringing an umbrella and bag - you have to pay 10 dollars to leave them.. show was great.. 8/10. I prefer the Luzia of last year at the Entertainment Quarter. venue is easy access via public transport.
I gave Qudos a 4 star rating because overall it's a great venue. Parking is easy to get in & out of when nothing is on at Accor! BUT you really need to improve your food options! Hot dogs, fries & 1 type of burger from one place really just doesn't cut it. A tiny pizza at another place was ok but the options were margherita or ham & cheese. I didn't see any other options than these so it's pretty disappointing.
Great venue. Very close to Olympic Park station. Good selection of nibbles and drinks (and not overpriced .. at least for the concert we attended). Amazing vibe and overall friendly staff.
We attended Torvill & Dean ice skating show. We were ringside. Seats weren't too bad but no elevation meant limited visibility from the second row. The exit from the building was a debacle. The volume of diabled/elderly people requiring lifts far outweighed the buildings capacity. Even with staff funnelling patrons out to the back lifts we waited around 40 minutes for a lift and we were moved on twice. Not good for our elderly guest. Chairs near the lifts would have been a good idea. My advice, if you can manage the stairs at all, do it.

Bicentennial Park is a fantastic place to relax and enjoy nature. It’s home to various animals and water birds, making it a great spot for wildlife lovers. Many families come here for picnics and BBQs, creating a lively yet peaceful atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to unwind, and I envy those who live nearby!
It's a huge 40 hectare scenic parklands in Sydney, located 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) west of Sydney. Created by the state and federal governments during the 1980s, to celebrate Australia's Bicentenary in 1988. It offers visitors recreation, nature-based tours, environmental education and outdoor event experiences. The park has picnic areas, playgrounds, pathways and cycle ways, access to the wetlands, salt marsh and bird hides. Several wetlands in the area and plenty of wildlife to see. Very popular place, lots of tourists and locals. Toilets available. Cafes and restaurants available. Easy terrain, lot of easy walking. Wear comfy shoes, take water, wear hat, sunscreen. Free entry. Parking is easy but ticketed. Great place for photography. Best to go early.
I visited this park earlier this week and had such a wonderful experience. The surroundings are clean, green, and very well maintained. The walking paths are smooth and easy to follow, with plenty of shaded areas to sit and relax. What I loved most was the peaceful atmosphere – it feels like a perfect escape from the busy city life. The fresh air, the sounds of birds, and the open space made it really calming. The park also has well-kept playgrounds and picnic areas, which makes it family-friendly. Overall, it’s a beautiful spot for walking, exercising, or just spending quiet time outdoors. I’ll definitely be visiting again soon and would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing natural space.
Bicentennial Park is hands-down one of the best spots in Sydney Olympic Park. The atmosphere is unreal – calm, relaxing, and perfect for all kinds of gatherings. We booked one of those covered benches for a birthday, and it worked a treat! There are plenty of options for both big and small families, but you’ve got to book early – at least a week or two ahead. The park is packed with things to do. There’s a top-notch playground for the kids, with swings, ladders, and heaps of fun equipment. You can also go for a short stroll to check out the ducks, fish, and other wildlife – a real treat for nature lovers. The facilities are spot on too, with clean public toilets and loads of shaded parking under trees. If you’re planning a picnic, bring a mat, find a nice shady spot, and just soak in the chilled vibes. There are heaps of great spots for photos too, so don’t forget your camera. Honestly, it’s a ripper place for a day out, and I’d recommend it 100% to anyone.
Bicentennial Park is one of the best places in Sydney for families and friends to spend a relaxing day. The park is very large with plenty of walking and cycling tracks, making it perfect for exercise and nature lovers. There are picnic areas with tables and BBQ facilities, which are great for gatherings. The park is clean, well-maintained, and has beautiful views with trees, lakes, and birds. Parking is available nearby and easy to access. The atmosphere is peaceful, especially at sunset, and I highly recommend visiting during spring when the weather is nice.”
Great park with plenty to see and do. Perfect spot to spend a few hours and let the kids explore. The cafe isn’t amazing for coffee but fine for a quick pick-me-up, and parking’s generally easy to find. There’s a nice mix of open space and shady spots, and the walking paths are well kept. Plenty of areas for picnics or just sitting back to take it all in. Even when it’s busy, it still feels relaxed and welcoming. A solid place to unwind for a while.
Sydney Bicentennial Park is a fantastic place for a day out, featuring a beautiful lake (Lake Belvedere) and plenty of parking, with the first two hours free upon registration. It's a premier spot for birdwatching, with over 200 species recorded, especially in the Waterbird Refuge. Beyond the wildlife, the park offers walking and cycling paths, playgrounds, and picnic facilities, making it enjoyable for all ages.

Epic AFL Day Out at Engie Stadium! 🧡🏉 We had an amazing time watching the GWS Giants vs Gold Coast Suns at Engie Stadium with friends and family. What a match! The Giants were down for three quarters but came roaring back in the fourth — truly one of the best AFL games I’ve seen live! The stadium is beautifully set in Sydney Olympic Park, with great facilities, perfect weather, and plenty of halal food options, which makes it even more enjoyable for everyone. It’s also an excellent spot to catch a cricket game during the BBL season! If we had one suggestion — maybe add another big screen for better viewing from all corners. Written by AI (the footy fan... with a little help from the other AI too 😉)
Attending the Big Bash League 2024 match at ENGIE Stadium was an unforgettable experience for our family. The atmosphere was absolutely electric, with fans cheering passionately and the stadium buzzing with excitement from start to finish. The energy of the crowd made the night even more thrilling, and we enjoyed every moment of the game. Watching the players in action under the bright stadium lights was truly mesmerizing, and the level of talent on display was top-notch. The highlight of the night, especially for the kids, came after the match when we had the chance to meet the players. Taking photos and getting autographs was such a special experience. The players were so friendly and patient, making the kids feel like little superstars. It’s not every day you get to meet your cricket heroes up close, and this interaction made the evening even more memorable. ENGIE Stadium itself was impressive, with great facilities, smooth entry and exit, and plenty of food and drink options to keep everyone happy. It was a perfect family outing, combining thrilling live cricket action with moments we’ll cherish forever. We can’t wait to come back for another Big Bash game and relive this amazing experience!
Great atmosphere for an AFL match. The crowd was lively (20k+ attendance) and the view from most seats was excellent, you feel close to the action even from higher levels. The sound of the crowd really carries and makes the experience fun. Food and drinks are typical stadium pricing, but there’s decent variety: beers, chips, and HSPs and burgers/chips were surprisingly tasty for stadium food. Getting in didn’t take too long even with the bag checks and large crowds outside the gates. Once inside, the seating was comfortable enough and the visibility of the scoreboard and replays was clear from our seats but I think it’s not great if you’re sitting where the “away” team is going to be. Overall, a good stadium to catch footy or events, with a strong game-day vibe. Came during the quarterfinals game and it was truly an amazing first experience with AFL, amazing mood all around
Great stadium, sound and screens are excellent. The atmosphere is brilliant even with it half full. Toilets are clean too with staff there all the time. Food, parking and drinks are so expensive, not family friendly at all which is frustrating and I'd say what puts families off going
Great venue. Fridayz Live amenities were great this year, they kept the portaloos clean throughout the night which was a nice change from last time we attended in 2023. The food truck that had pasta tossed in the Parmesan wheel was sooo good! Wish I could remember the name of the vendor. Love that you can smoke more freely in this stadium without being shut off like sardines in the one strict area. This venue is easy to navigate. Only thing I’d like to see in future is permanent toilet facilities.
Great venue with an awesome atmosphere! Easy access, clean facilities, and helpful staff. Perfect place for concerts — always well-organised and fun.
It's one of the smaller stadiums. Seats are ok but not most comfortable, recommend to bring a cushion. Food and drinks inside decent.
This was the first time I had gone to this stadium. I went for a concert. It was fantastic. We had great seating, lots of food options and stage could be seen from all seats

A former Olympic venue, this big indoor center features competition pools, spas & water playgrounds.

The Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre is an impressive place to swim! It hosts major competitions and has separate pools for both professional training and casual swimming. There’s also a kids’ pool, making it a great spot for families. Plus, the on-site café is perfect for grabbing a coffee or a snack after a swim. Whether you’re a serious swimmer or just looking to relax in the water, this place has something for everyone!
Impressive and majestic Olympic structure! I was really impressed! It has an interesting offer and a middle ground between relaxation and sport. Perhaps the 50m pool used for free swimming is a little too heated for serious swimming, but still acceptable given the context, perhaps during the week it is less heated. The spa and sonar section is beautiful. The Australian style changing rooms with only two closed showers leaves a little to be desired, but in the end for a minority of Italian tastes it can be fine (in Italy you first take off your shoes and then enter the changing room and pool). Have fun!
The pools look great but i visited for the gym. The gym was not fantastic, had aged equipment and a television for music, which was playing the same song over and over the entire workout. It's small and limited, but the main bits are there. The facility as a whole needs a makeover..it feels old and run down. Sad to see actually when places like Ashfield aquatic centre and Hurstville are cleaner and far better maintained.
Flexible swimming classes, teachers are good. But maintenance needs to be addressed better. So many broken doors and toilet seats .. Bathrooms are very dirty, I can never lock my shower door. I have told staff about this ages ago, a year later it’s still in same state.
It’s good place to visit for activities and car parking is convenient….. BUT this place is neglected for hygiene, cleaness and maintenance. Cardio Room doesn’t have good ventilation and can feel it. Even in weight room, can see old equipment with Tape on it. Members Male room is always so smelly and cockroaches 🪳 can found easily in the locker. Sauna Room is good but again be prepare to encounter weird smell and Cockroaches 🪳. Many regular people like me always even reports to Management for long time but they seems never cared.
We went at 7am+ to avoid the crowd. When we left we saw long queue. Nice facilities but the fun things start available only from 10am. Adults need to have fun too! If there are hairdryers it would be perfect! The parking always doesnt work (car plate number not detected). Not sure if it is because we entered before 8am.
Good family day out to be had here. I can easily spend 4 hours plus with the kids. Rushing water pool has water jets that propel you around. Splasher area ideal for younger kids with small slides, big splash from the tipping bucket, and variety of fun water play activities. Big slide for older kids or hang in warmer jacuzzi pools. Four hours free parking.
A great place to visit if you are a tennis lover. I have been going for 2-3 years to watch the United Cup. Easy access by local bus from the city & very state of the art courts.

Had a great experience with this bike hire! Staff were super friendly and helpful, making the whole process easy. Had lots of fun exploring, and the bikes were in great condition. A fantastic way to see the area and make some great memories. Highly recommend!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Customer Experience Bike Hire @ Sydney Olympic Park is hands down the best bike rental spot in Sydney! 🚲🌟 Chris, who’s helped me out four times now, is simply extraordinary; always friendly, genuinely kind-hearted, and so wonderfully welcoming. He consistently goes above and beyond to ensure customers feel special and valued 💯❤️ Max was fantastic today too - both he and Chris stayed open patiently when we got completely lost on our ride back! 🗺️😅 Such dedication and care is rare. Plus, their prices are great for the amazing quality of service provided 🎉 Incredible people, phenomenal experience. Chris absolutely deserves a raise ASAP - he’s pure gold! 🥇🙌 Highly, highly recommend!
We visited Bicentennial Park at Sydney Olympic Park for a family picnic, and my son decided to rent a bike. While we were checking which one he wanted to try, a staff member named Saeed approached him and, in a rather annoyed tone, said “Buddy, put the bike on the stand.” My son complied immediately, and SAEED took the bike and returned it to the rack — without saying a single word to us. It was quite disappointing and honestly unnecessary. My husband and I were both present and would have appreciated being spoken to politely, or at least informed that bikes should be paid for first before trying them. A little courtesy goes a long way — especially when you work in customer service. Both my husband and I work in customer service ourselves, so we completely understand how demanding the job can be. However, professionalism and basic respect should always come with the role. If Saeed wasn’t in the mood to assist customers that day, perhaps taking a short break would have been better than taking it out on guests. On a positive note, kudos to JAMES, who handled the situation gracefully and showed genuine customer service skills. His professionalism helped turn an unpleasant moment into a manageable one. For anyone planning to rent bikes here — enjoy the experience, but maybe steer clear of Saeed’s customer service if you can!
The staff are friendly and welcoming. We hired 4 gear-bikes and the price was reasonable. They offer helmet which you need to wear all the time. The park has beautiful biking trail; you can enjoy around 2-3 hours exploring the park. The trail leads through wetland, pond and green-area lined with beautiful trees. There’s also a place from where you can spot birds as well.
Loved the bikes so much I purchased one!
Great bikes, good location, great service. Everything is sanitized, all safety precautions are well adhered to. Olympic Park is just massive you can start exploring on your bike and at times it can feel like you have left Sydney. Prices are reasonable and bikes are just amazing as well. I recommend the hybrid road bike with 21 gear combos.
Anoma bike lady is very kind and friendly. She is so nice and the park is so beautiful. You should go there and rent a bike for explore the park. I wanna go there again and meet her.
This place is amazing you get to rent top quality bikes to explore the many bike trails along the river. We were served by Anoma who guided us properly and provided exceptional customer service. Highly recommend renting a bike from this place and exploring the park.
