Have a fear of heights? We know just the remedy...a Sydney Harbour bridge climb! We know what you’re all thinking, but facing your fears smack bang in the face, may be the secret weapon to overcoming them. And why wouldn't you want to try it? Bridge climbing is the ultimate opportunity to see the best harbour view in the entire world! (No, we're not biased at all.) If you want to start slow, RedBalloon have what we call a mini bridge climb. Think of it as training for the big kahuna. This mini climb otherwise more technically referred to as the Sydney Harbour Bridge Sampler Climb. That doesn't sound so bad now does it? Well done, you’re one step closer to shaking your fear out of your system. Sampler bridge climbing deals are available on a weekday or weekend. If you’re wondering, what to wear when bridge climbing? Don’t worry, this is a commonly asked question. Heeled shoes or leather soled shoes of any sort are obviously not an option. We recommend rubber soled and enclosed shoes like sneakers, runners or hiking boots - ones you’ll feel comfortable in, every step of the way.

Yes. Children need to be eight years of age, at least 120 centimetres tall and accompanied by a paying adult. Teens wanting to join the Sydney harbour bridge climb aged 16 and above will need to pay adult prices.
