About this event

Discover the stories, stunning Art Deco architecture and commemorative symbolism behind the Anzac Memorial with a free one-hour guided highlights tour.

Led by one of our knowledgeable guides, the highlights tour explores the Memorial’s architectural design that dates back to the 1930s, the more recent award-winning Centenary Extension commemorating over 100 years of service, and the significance of the Memorial’s many incredible sculptural features.

The morning tours also includes the daily Service of Remembrance at 11am, a special moment to pause and remember those who served and made the ultimate sacrifice.

Visitors on the afternoon tours will also experience a Star Ceremony, a special moment to cast a commemorative star, bearing the name of an Australian who served and made the ultimate sacrifice, into the Well of Contemplation.

It is an unforgettable way to experience the Anzac Memorial.

After the tour, visit the Memorial’s permanent exhibition to learn about the experiences of Australian men and women who served in conflict and peacekeeping operations for over a century.

Tours take place every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday at 10:30am and Saturdays at 1:00pm, departing from the Anzac Memorial Shop near the Western Entrance.

Bookings are recommended.

Guided tours for groups of 10 or more can be booked here.

The Anzac Memorial
The Anzac Memorial is NSW’s principal war memorial and, along with the Martin Place Cenotaph, lies at the heart of our community’s commitment to remember the sacrifices of the past. It was built and funded by the people of New South Wales, to honour those who served their country in the Great War and be a place of comfort for those who had lost loved ones. In 1984 the Memorial was rededicated to all Australians who have served in the Defence Force.
