What To Expect

Hyde Park Barracks
A UNESCO World Heritage-listed site in the heart of historic Sydney, the Hyde Park Barracks is an extraordinary living record of early colonial Australia. Originally built to house convicts, the Barracks has also served as an immigration depot, asylum, law courts and government offices.

Today, the Hyde Park Barracks is a cutting-edge museum. Visitors can discover the stories of the Barracks through a self-guided immersive experience that will feel like stepping back in time.

Using our groundbreaking interactive audio technology, you’ll follow in the footsteps of real people whose lives were touched by this place – male convicts, immigrants and women in need, as well as the Aboriginal nations that were impacted by colonial Australia.

The audio guide is available in English and Mandarin. There is also a Kids Trail available featuring a tailored audio guide and activity book suitable for children 5 to 10 years old.
