Im from Sydney and used to go all the time to Fox Studios for dinner and a movie..
Bay Swiss has a store there, which sells their great homewares and also has a cafe with OK priced food and a good friendly atmosphere. There is also a pub (the fox and lion) which has an outdoor seating area, as well as an indoor area. There are around a dozen cafes, bars and restaurants.
Right up the end of Fox Studios (on Bent Street, the main strip) are a few virtual rides, no doubt left over from when Fox had their movie theme park (called the back lot), which has now closed down. Just your standard virtual rides but fun. In the area behind Fox has some studios that are used, but you cant get into that area, unsuprisingly its not open to the public!
Cinemas are decent sized and quite big for Sydney so there is always something on there, and usually something you want to see! The cinema there is a Hoyts Cinema.
There are quite a few clothing stores at Fox, not your cheap ones but nothing overly expensive. There is a book store and the studios for a TVmusic show (for Channel V), so you can see what is going on inside via the giant screens.
Its a nice clean area, and because its kind of new things are in good condition. The car park is always full, unless you arrive early in the morning dont expect to park on the lower levels. Its about 15 minutes drive from Central Sydney, located in Moore Park.
Getting a bus there is a bit of a pain, its best if you have a car, though busses will drop you nearby. Buses depart from Circular Quay and Central Station on routes 372-377 and 390-399. Bus 339 departs Millers Point via Town Hall, Circular Quay and Central and stops in Driver Avenue at Fox Studios.
Fox studios also has cash machines, which if you stay there for a while you will probably need!
There is a sunday market which sells local art, craft and movie memorabilia. A twice-weekly food market, also held in Fox's sells fresh fruit and vegies, homemade bread and cheese. The markets are held off to the side of Bent Street, easily found.
The HOrdon Pavillion is down the front so if you are going on a night there is a concert expect it to be very busy.
it is open 10am to 10pm seven days a week.
Another Ciao member suggested i mention this is right near the Cricket ground, if you know Sydney (or know someone who does) its at the old Showgrounds, a nice use of a showground that has been replaced by the newer one at Homebush.
