Vantage points guide
Mrs Macquarie’s Point, Bradfield Park & Mary Booth Reserve, Bennelong Lawn and Tarpeian Lawn offer great views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House. Check the vantage point listings for opening times.
The 9pm Calling Country fireworks, produced by We Are Warriors, are perfect for families with young children. Spots like Dawes Point and Darling Harbour offer space for kids to play, food trucks, and entertainment.
New Year’s Eve can be a long day so it’s important to be prepared. Bring activities to keep everyone entertained. A book, board game, your favourite podcasts or shows can help make the day more enjoyable. Pack sunscreen, a hat, water, snacks, wet weather gear and a blanket to sit on. Avoid glass containers, alcohol, and large bags, as these are often banned at vantage points. Visit your chosen vantage point listing to find out more about restrictions.
Most vantage points don't allow re-entry once you leave. Plan to stay until after the midnight fireworks to avoid losing your spot.
You can bring your own food to most vantage points, but glass containers and large bags are often prohibited. Check your chosen vantage point listing for further details about restrictions.
Most free vantage points, such as Campbells Cove, Hickson Road Reserve, and West Circular Quay, are alcohol-free zones in 2025. Use the vantage point map to see alcohol-free sites, where you can BYO or where alcohol will be for sale.
