📍HOW TO GET THERE

❓FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Where is the best place to watch the drone show?

The accessible viewing area at Cockle Bay, via the accessible waterfront promenade. Booking is required — see the booking link above. The Drone Show is also live-streamed at Tumbalong Park — a great no-crowd alternative!

Are the paths accessible throughout?

Yes — mostly flat and wide. Some sections have varying gradients; ramps and even event flooring have been installed across grassy areas. Manual wheelchair users should note the steep decline from Town Hall and Gadigal Metro.

Do I need an MLAK key for the accessible toilets?

No! No MLAK key is needed at any Darling Harbour accessible toilet. 🎉

How crowded does it get?

Very busy, especially during Drone Show nights and weekends. Arrive early, use public transport, and book the accessible viewing area well in advance if attending on a Drone Show night.
