There is an Information Centre, which is a good starting point, and there is an Olympic Explorer bus service. Listen Live is a self guided audio tour with lot of information about the Sydney Olympic Games. Bicycles can be hired to explore park.

 

Visit Stadium Australia, as used for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Games, and the athletics and other events. There are several other stadium, as well as hotels, restaurants and sporting facilities. The Games Trail tour celebrates the games and you can see the cauldron, wander amongst the interactive poles at the Games Memories installation and follow Cathy Freeman's strides to Olympic Gold.

There is plenty of fun to be had at the Sydney Olympic Park with a monster skate park, parklands, golf, tennis, trapeze, archery, swimming and to relax use one of the many bars and cafes on site.

And for something not connected with the Olympics is the the "Ring WalK" an elevated walkway 18 metres above a disused brick pit home to the endangered green and golden bell frog.

A Superpass is available which includes tours of both Stadium Australia and the International Aquatic Centre, as well as the view from the top of Novotel and a swim at the Aquatic Centre.
