How to celebrate your 30th birthday in Sydney 

So the big day is fast approaching. You’re turning the big 3-0 and you’re thinking about how to celebrate this milestone event in your life. Here at Tagvenue, we’ve decided to make your life a bit easier by finding some of the best things that you can do to celebrate your 30th birthday in Sydney:

• Sydney Tower Eye Observation Deck – Sometimes when you live in a city you don’t see the wood for the trees. We’ve all been in a situation where friends come to visit us and suggest seeing something we’ve never even heard of. If you want to celebrate your 30th birthday in style and do something a bit different, why not see Sydney from 250 metres above ground level and admire some of the greatest sights the city has to offer? After enjoying the vista you can wine and dine and get the party going in the tower’s 360 Bar and Dining restaurant. Enjoy a champagne cocktail and the beef tartar as the sun sets on your 30th birthday while the restaurant revolves a full 360 degrees and gives you the best views of the city.
• Sydney Harbour dinner cruise – Maybe you’d like something a bit more refined and relaxing? Down at Sydney Harbour, you’ll find a few boats that offer a twilight cruise in the harbour. Our favourite option is to go for one of the tall ships. You’ll experience the harbour like you’ve never seen it before as you enjoy an unforgettable three-course meal on this two-hour cruise as the harbour twinkles in the setting sun. Not enough for you? Well, if you want to add some adrenaline into the mix you can take on the challenge of climbing up the main mast of the boat and experience the view from the bird’s nest like a real-life pirate from the days of yore.
• Sydney’s stand-up comedy scene – We all love a good laugh. When you’re celebrating a special event what can be better than a night full of stand-up comedy? The oldest comedy club in Sydney opened its door in 1981 and has been at the forefront of the Australian comedy circuit, booking the best of both Australian and international stand-up comedy stars. You might just get to see the next Bill Burr or our very own Jim Jefferies. Many of the clubs offer great drinks packages for groups so be sure to check them out if you’re going with friends rather than a date.
• Rooftop bar party – Maybe you want to party in style and treat your friends and family to a night they’ll never forget? Over the last few years, a few hotels have started opening rooftop bars. For a birthday we recommend booking an entire space and partying until the wee hours with friends and loved ones while enjoying some of the awesome night vistas that Sydney has to offer. You’ll be wowed by the views of the Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and the Central Business District and you’ll also be floored by some of the amazing cocktails these bars have concocted. There are even a few spots which offer a barbecue service. What a great way to celebrate your 30th birthday in Sydney!
• Chocolate walking tour – If you want to do something really different, how about a tour of Sydney’s best chocolatiers? You’ll be walking a bit so no reason to feel guilty about having some of the best chocolate Sydney has to offer. Your guide will meet you at 10 AM and take you on a two-and-a-half-hour excursion across the city to some of the best chocolate stores you’ll ever visit. Learn all about the different processes undertaken to make exquisitely-handcrafted chocolate and learn some more about the city too as you walk from one store to the next with your knowledgeable guide.

These activities are fun and memorable - just how your milestone birthday should be! So which one rings your bell? Pick one (or two) and make it happen! Also, don’t forget to check our curated list of birthday party venues where you can take your celebration to a whole new level.

FAQs about 30th Birthday Party Venues in Sydney

How much does it cost to hire a 30th birthday party venue in Sydney?

The cost will depend on the venue type. But generally, expect the prices to vary anywhere between $30 to $90+ for per-person packages. These packages include the hire fee and catering in the price. It is also possible to pay on a minimum spend basis, with prices starting from $500. Per-hour fees are between $50 to $300. (All data from Tagvenue.com.)

How far in advance should I start searching for a birthday party venue?

A general rule of thumb recommends starting your search at least 6 weeks in advance. Why? Because you’ll have plenty of time to thoroughly check the offers, compare them and pick the best one. Also, you’ll be able to choose from a wider range of options than if you started to search two weeks before the party. The prices may be also higher the closer you book to the party date. 

Can you recommend some fun venues for my 30th birthday party?

Of course! Dynasty Lounge at Dynasty Karaoke is an eclectic space that offers a fantastic atmosphere and delicious catering. What’s more, you can organise a karaoke party there to add some funky vibes to your celebrations. Another great option is The Chapel at Greenwood Hotel. It’s a beautiful and stylish restaurant that will add some flair to your special evening. 

Can I bring my own alcohol to a hired venue?

It depends on the venue’s policy. Some venues allow it (usually you’d have to pay a corkage fee), and some don’t. We highly suggest talking to the venue manager about this matter, or thoroughly checking the offer before booking.
