Cockatoo Island is an interesting place to spend half a day wandering around. Nice to have a picnic. You can camp overnight in the glamping tents, and use the microwave, fridge, BBQ plates and hot showers. Camping is better in cooler months, as inside of tent reaches 60 degrees in summer. Tent setup not conducive to romance as they have 2 single camp stretchers. Regular ferry service to Circular Quay until midnight via F8 ferry. Has 2 licenced cafes, but on Friday they close at 6:00pm and on Saturday they close at 9:00pm, so you're betting off spending the evening in the city and then going to the island later to sleep.

This place is excellent to visit, especially in weekdays when is not crowded. Beautiful place to have a long walk, lot of barracks to see where you may find excibitions. There is beautiful cafe in the top of the hill where the view to Sydney (and bridge) is amazing. The cafe is not always open. Also, you will find place to camp if you want (not for free) and beautiful australian homes to spend the night.

Really nice place. Came here with my family for a tour during the night and is was a real fun experience. I enjoyed learning about all the different buildings along with their pasts. I also enjoyed hearing all the paranormal experiences people had witnessed, made me very excited. I plan on coming back again to camp here for a night, very much looking forward to it.

Nice day trip idea, especially the journey on the ferry/rivercat. Great for a date. Would recommend the audio tours, only $5 each. Gives you a brief historical tour of the key places of interest. If you need a feed, head to the burger place thats right near the visitor centre and has a courtyard. Its really nice food and affordable too.

Absolutely brilliant ruins of buildings from the convict era, possibly unique in Sydney. The island is nowadays surrounded by dense suburbia on nearby shores so it's not easy to imagine what the view looked like when the buildings were constructed. A must-see for any visitors to Cockatoo Island And worth a special trip to the island.

The Convict Precinct is one of the oldest group of houses on these island. The sandstone give a unique color and the audio tour let history get a live again. With a little bit of fantasy you can imagine how bad the circumstances have been but nowadays a place of living history with free entry.

Went there on a saturday night for a spook. On our way to board the ferry back the main land, my opal card disappeared. Even so, it is a nice place to visit.

Fantastic place with a cruel history, very interesting to see how things went in 1841. Stories of convicts that had a very cruel time, and the life went for the convicts that had spent their time here.

Interesting area however it would have been better if the area was like it was during the time. Inside the rooms were modern art works that did not reflect the history. I was very disappointed.

Great place to spend a day with family. Kids would love the ferry ride. Coffee shop is also helpful.

Spent many days and hours volunteering for Biennale and thoroughly enjoying my time on Cockatoo Island, interacting with the artists, visitors and other volunteers.

One part of Cockatoo island that shows the history of its use for convict uses. Plenty of things to look and and lots to learn about the early history of Australia

Something beautiful to see. Also the trip on ferry is a nice thing to do. The view and the perspective from there is different to what you usually see.

This was a really interesting free attraction in Sydney. Can't go wrong visiting and learning some really fascinating facts about Sydney's history!

Un peu déçue par cette visite qui manquait de vie. Peu d'explication malgré la location des audio-guides. Pourrait être passionnant. Dommage

Beautiful place to go. Free access and plenty of things to enjoy. Consider taking an audio tour

Great place, lots to see with great information. Good little cafes, with lots of clean toilets.

Nice for an afternoon nothing more. Nice picnic spots through out don’t bother with the cafes

鹦鹉岛是一个独立的岛屿，岛上有很多值得参观的地方，也是一个家人和朋友聚在一起的好地方，我会推荐我的朋友经常来这里2020年9月7日再次来到这里观看悉尼双年展，感受一些传统文化。

O locație în care timpul a rămas pe loc (e la fel de mai bine de un veac), istorie.

Cocatoo Island full of history...convicts and ship building...a good day out.

The precinct itself is just ok, but the surrounding ocean views are good...

Great visit around Sydney and good opportunities for taking pictures

Interesting history and a great place for a picnic on a sunny day.

It was an interesting area to look around at all the old buildings

島小小的，逛起來沒有負擔。也能露營及烤肉，逛了一圈發現已變造船廠，現場有導覽可以更認識這個小島。隧道冷冷的讓人不舒服><

Very nice , one of the oldest house , learn the history

great piece of culture for the price of a day ticket!

쿠카투 아일랜드의 랜드마크 웨딩촬영이나 CF, 화보 찰영등 사진 찍는 스팟으로도 유명한 유적지

IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING PLACE TO GO TO A MUST SEE

Come here at night time for a spooky surprise.
