Tips For Families
Visiting Sydney's Christmas lights is one of the season's sweetest family traditions, and a little planning can make the night even more magical. Here are our top tips for families:
- Parking can be tight around popular displays, so arrive early, park legally, and be prepared for a short stroll - it keeps the streets safer for excited little legs.
- Many homes collect donations for charities, so bring a few gold coins or tap donations ready and give what you can; it's a lovely way to teach kids about kindness at Christmas.
- Early December is perfect for quieter, easier visits, while the week before Christmas brings bigger crowds and the buzziest atmosphere - choose the vibe that suits your family best.
- And of course, keep safety front of mind: stay off roads, hold hands near traffic, watch for cables or decorations, and respect front gardens and fences. A little care goes a long way in keeping the Christmas spirit shining bright for everyone.

If visiting or travelling to Port Macquarie you must drive out to Sarahs Crescent King Creek, about a 15 minute drive from Port Macquarie to see some of the best lights ever. These are rural properties where you can easily park and walk around the beautiful displays. One house was voted as having the best display in Australia in 2004. You will not be disappointed

Borgnis St (davidson/ belrose) in the Northern Beaches is THE BEST! The fire brigade that sits on the street also gets involved with huge displays and carols. I'd say its the biggest street production in all of the northern beaches- definitely needs to be added to this list!

6 Tilbury St, Stanhope Gardens had no lights up Add 7 Mallee Street, Quakers Hill to the list. It’s the best we have ever seen by far. People seemed to spend a lot of time there because of how much there was to see, and do. The couple who live there spent 2-months putting everything up which included but was not limited to, a water fountain feature, reindeer and sleigh for families to sit in while getting photos, a massive Santa’s workshop display, fake snow shooting from the roof, and heaps to look at and explore around the garden. This is our top recommendation

We'd like to throw our hat in the ring for some beautiful Christmas lights set on the State Heritage listed building in Randwick, The Lurline (211 Avoca St, Randwick). Some of the lights outside the building flash when a booking is made, as a percentage of each direct booking this December is going to the Light Up Xmas Appeal, supporting the Sydney Children's Hospital. The flashing lights signify the donation. Every booking in this difficult year has been vitally important in keeping our doors open and our staff employed. We'd like to give back this December, and thank the families who trust us to take care of them when they visit - often less than fortunate circumstances. We hope the lights bring joy to the community in what has been a tough year for many.

Fantastic light s on the sails of the opera house during the vivid party. No very xmassy though, more futuristic and alien like

Hector Court is definitely worth stopping at, and I mean stop. Get out and check out the window at number 10 with a Christmas village with heaps of things to try and find. Be warned you may be there awhile! But not just the window there are great lights over 4 houses all in one place, look for the 10 metre Christmas’s tree!

If you're in the Blue Mountains there are a few places that decorate in Mt Victoria, Blackhealth etc. But the cream of the crop is (and has been for over 15 years) "1 Scott Ave Leura". Their efforts delight mountains residents every year.
