On June 26, 2000 filming started for Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones at Fox Studios, Sydney. Fox Studios, Sydney (which occupies the site of the former Sydney Showground) is a major movie studio located in Australia. Since opening in May 1998, the studio has been involved in the production of a number of blockbusters, including the final film in the prequel trilogy, Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, as well as The Matrix trilogy, Moulin Rouge, Mission Impossible II, and Superman Returns. Located ten minutes from the Sydney city center, the 132,000 square meter (32 acre) site on the site of the old Sydney Showground, includes eight stages, production offices and heavy industrial workshops, and a community of over sixty independent businesses. These businesses provide services such as equipment hire, travel and freight, casting, postproduction, and explosives/pyrotechnic factory, adjoining residential properties. An adjacent precinct provides restaurants and cafes, a retail complex, parklands, entertainment venues, and sporting facilities. The adjacent precinct was previously known as simply Fox Studios; however, it has since been renamed The Entertainment Quarter.

Place is really confusing on where to go but everything is well maintained and clean.

Good activities for the kids and plenty of space to run around, nice restaurants too.

Heaps to do on site. great for kids and adults. Parking on site too

It's a good place to work, annoyingly strict security measures though. It's films, not bio weapon research. Relax people!

this venue has some very good events and very nice markets as well as having some very nice shops and things to do.

Its nice. Parking is cheap. The mood is chill and there is a few good places to grab a cold one.

very quiet on a weekday and lacks a bit of atmosphere. But coming on the weekend, there is more life and feels a bit more lively. Good location for a movie as there are lots of parking space with the carpark. Most people I think come here for the Hoyts cinemas and other shops will feed off from that especially the food places.

Involved in the production of a number of blockbusters including The Matrix, Mission Possible II and Star Wars II, this famous film and TV studio, located just about 3 km from the city center, has become a must-go destination for adults and children. The main feature is the Fox Studios Backlot, where visitors can go through the once-in-a-lifetime experience of film production.

I love fox studios but hate they closed down the backlot tour and attraction they should reopen it.the markets are great they have fresh made local food and fresh honey and the bee keeper even brings some of the bees.The comedy store is great never laughed so hard.wish there was a tram that went there.
