BridgeClimb takes visitors up onto the arch of the Sydney Harbour Bridge on foot. The Summit route climbs 1,332 stairs along the upper arch to a point 134 metres up, with 360° views over Sydney; the Ultimate Climb crosses from south to north and back again over both the lower and upper arch, and the UnderBridge Walk is the shorter option, with less time and less walking. Climbs leave at dawn, by day, at twilight and at night, and the fare depends on the departure you pick. Every climb starts from the BridgeClimb Base in The Rocks, a walk from Circular Quay. The limit for families is who can go: the minimum age and height apply to every climber, and each adult can only take a set number of children, so work out whether the whole group qualifies before you plan the day around it.
