Paramatta is full of wonderful things to see, do and experience. Be it day or night, the city won't disappoint! This is a city built on gastronomy, shopping, nature and entertainment. Here are a few things to do for a night out in Paramatta.
If you are looking for an experience other than something local in Paramatta, then hit places like Armani restaurant. It is more or less a luxurious Arabian tent filled with chairs and tables and a whole lot of smoke. What's with the smoke you ask? Of course, that's shisha! Most people come here for some good shisha. This is unlike the normal tobacco cigarette you purchase from your local stores. Shisha is flavoured and is smoked with either pineapple, apple or orange. The essence is sucked in through a pipe in this case. It's not just the shisha here, but the food too is great, mainly the Arabian dessert called Knafe. It is a good place for cocktails too with a lively bunch for company.
Heading over to the mall is a must! After all, Parramatta Westfield is known to be the fourth largest mall in Australia! The mall has five levels of everything fun to do including 489 shops. There are so many different stores here you could almost get lost inside this shopping mall. From clothing to electronics and beauty products, you name it you'll find it here at Parramatta Westfield. If you aren't into the whole shopping thing or planning on going easy on your budget, you could opt to go window shopping and grab a delicious bite from one of the many restaurants here as well. don't forget, there's a cinema as well in case you feel like watching a movie. If you are lucky, you'll also catch a world-famous celebrity roaming the mall too! There are a few free events that are arranged on certain days of the week as well.
If you are travelling with friends or family in Paramatta, Labyrinth Escape Room offers an experience like no other that allows you to bond better as well. The place has 3 rooms from which you can choose from to escape. Namely, Insane Asylum, Japanese Horror Escape and Mexican Cartel. You've got to use everything possible in the room and try to escape within 60 minutes unless you want to be trapped in the nightmare forever! Your brain sure gets a good workout for the money. The price will vary according to the number of people entering the room starting from $42 per person for two people and $32 per person for a group of seven to eight people. Labyrinth Escape Room is just a 9-minute walk away from hotels like PARKROYAL Paramatta.
The Paramatta River is famous, and many locals hang out there too at pretty much any time of the day. The best time to visit here is at sunset or maybe after dinner. The river is truly beautiful with a waterfall that comes from a bridge! The waterfall is visible from quite far because of the multi-coloured lights that give it a luminous effect. Tourists from many a hotel in Paramatta, Sydney often engage in a walk here at dusk.
If you are a foodie travelling to Paramatta, head over to Church Street and do a relaxed stroll. There are several restaurants serving up Thai, Italian, Indian and Mediterranean cuisine. Not only this but fast food and desserts are available too.
