An excellent FREE tour. The guides are really immersive and take time to explain the history and how the parliament operates. Great on site cafe also.

The guides did amazing!! They will even know by heart the rep. for your electorate. Also, the art exhibitions made it worth to visit.

A truly enriching experience at the NSW Parliament! 🏛️ The building itself is a beautiful blend of history and functionality — you can feel the legacy of Australian democracy in every corner. The guided tours are incredibly informative, giving you deep insight into how laws are made and the history of governance in New South Wales. Staff were welcoming, security was smooth, and everything was well-organized. I especially loved the opportunity to sit in the public gallery and observe Parliament in session — a rare and educational experience. Whether you're a student, history enthusiast, or just curious about how government works, the NSW Parliament is worth a visit. A perfect balance of history, architecture, and civic education!

Cool building with regular activities happening celebrating government affairs and events. There was an event we saw regarding commonwealth day and a group of high schoolers band playing for the NSW Governor Margaret Beazley.
