Reviews of The Big Fiddle (Gardener)

Nick P.

It's a big fiddle, the local shops aren't special and high priced. Definitely feels like they could do so much more with it

Freddie Willett

yep that's a fiddle alright

Rishi GABA

Nice big fiddle

It's a neat place to visit. Great place for sunset photos as well. Missed it this time though. There is a restaurant with a patio in the background that we have yet to try out. On the bucket list it goes.

World's heaviest Fiddle,very big and beautiful also the view is very good it's on the edge of water, very great place you guys should visit whenever you get a chance to come cape breton island.

(Translated) We were with the Royal Caribbean ship Adventures of the seas in the harbor of Sydney. The place itself is relatively small. However, Sydney really has a beautiful landmark with this violin. That's something out of the ordinary. Top for a small photo session. (Original) Wir waren mit dem Royal Caribbean Schiff Adventures of the seas im Hafen von Sydney. Der Ort selber ist relativ klein. Allerdings hat Sydney mit dieser Geige wirklich ein schönes Wahrzeichen. Das ist schon was Außergewöhnliches. Top für eine kleine Fotosession.

Was down from Ontario for National Track and Field events, so we looked up places to see! Was great tourist experience, lots of photo ops and beautiful boardwalk One thing is most the tiny shops are closed unless its a day the ship comes in :(

Sébastien Trempe

(Translated) Sydney is not worth the trip. Stop at the port if you only pass by. Main thoroughfare with soulless hotels. It is a relay for ships and ferries without more. (Original) Sydney ne vaut pas le détour. Arrêtez au port si vous passez par là seulement. Artère principale avec hôtels sans âme. C'est un relais pour les navires et ferry sans plus.

Sean Ridley

Icon. Pure class.

Rendell Roberts

Great place for a reception. Nice big room. The restaurant in this facility is one of the best in town. Great dining and yes a giant fiddle too

Sebastian Kluth

The Big Fiddle is a giant statue of a violin and beautiful music comes out of it. This might as well be Sydney's most popular sight and it looks stunning indeed.

Daata

Yes, it is the biggest fiddle in the world. No, you cannot play it... The Big Fiddle statue is the first thing you see when you arrive in the Port of Sydney. The oversized instrument is visible from anywhere in the harbour and any Cape Breton could recognize it in a heartbeat. It is one of the largest tourist attractions on the island, (due to its location). The fiddle is not an actual instrument for you musicians out there. It does not play. However, it does have speakers inside of it which project fiddle and Cape Breton tunes across the port and through the cruise pavillion. If you are arriving by ship, you no doubt will have to visit the fiddle. However, if you are just here to explore the island, or perhaps are a local looked for a bit of culture, check out the Big Fiddle. A little ceilidh won't do you any harm.

Judy Hung

Super cool!!

Terry P. G.

Billed as the Largest Fiddle in the world, it certainly is.It's 60 feet high, made from stainless steel and visible to all ships coming into port. Close by there is shopping, great restaurants and museums. It's one of the better port waterfronts we have visited.

Nadarni Headlam

It's beautiful and really big????????

GLOZEL GLOZEL

Cool! I also like the big convention with items to buy in September!

Sylvain Leclerc

My son loved it. He can't stop talking about it and asking to go again. It would not be a stretch to say it is his favorite spot in Sydney... Not sure why. Must be the great fish and chips we got around the corner.
