Things to do in Australia

Got the tickets on the day of visit itself and it was seamless, plus much cheaper than buying from Featherdale Wildlife Park directly. The park has a really good range of animals and nice close encounters throughout. We arrived before 10am and all the animals were very active and "hungry". Even the koalas were wide awake. The highlight was definitely feeding the kangaroos - the kids loved it. One heads up though: the sheep in the farm yard get pretty aggressive when they see food. They’ll actually leap up at you, so you need to be careful if you’re feeding them with young children. Maybe let the adults handle that part. Still a definite must-visit for families with kids. We had a great time!

It's convenient because the bus waits right in front of you when you get off the ferry! It's huge, so give yourself plenty of time. There are many different animals haha. The giraffes with the Harbour Bridge and Opera House views are truly beautiful. It feels like nature and the city coexist. But these days it's so hot that most of the animals are resting or not visible. I recommend going in the afternoon rather than early morning. Everything you buy inside is expensive, so buy it outside if possible~~ The place where you can see tigers is really exciting. I highly recommend it~~ I want to come again next time.

We had a great family visit to SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium. The kids loved the penguins, sharks, and underwater tunnel, and there were plenty of interactive exhibits to keep them entertained. The aquarium is clean, stroller-friendly, and easy to explore with children. It can get busy, but overall it’s a fun and educational attraction that’s well worth visiting for families with kids.

An unforgettable experience! This tour gave us the opportunity to witness God’s creation in all its glory and splendor. The breathtaking scenery along the Great Ocean Road and the Twelve Apostles showcased the incredible power of nature and how it has shaped the landscape over time. Our tour guide, Philip, was cheerful, accommodating, and professional throughout the journey. Despite the demands of driving, he seamlessly balanced his responsibilities as both driver and guide, providing timely and informative explanations about each stop along the way. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and friendly demeanor made the experience even more enjoyable. This was truly a memorable tour, and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to experience the beauty and wonder of the Great Ocean Road and the Twelve Apostles. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Movie World is the closest to a 'theme park' of the Gold Coast's Big 4. It's not huge, but the IP is solid, so even though Dreamworld is large, it feels like it's just 'filled with rides,' whereas Movie World feels full of content. Wet'n'Wild is the most 'Gold Coast'-like water park of the Big 4. When I was looking to book separately, I found that the price difference between buying tickets for two of the four parks separately and this package wasn't that big, but I'd have to specify dates, and I thought it would be a disaster if it rained. I had a great time at 3 of the Big 4 parks with this package, excluding Dreamworld.

The premium ticket gives a birdseye view of the penguins as they make their way up the beach. We weren’t able to take photos after sunset, the guide supplied a QR code for us to scan to download professional photos and videos. The penguins were small and albeit hard to see at night. It would’ve been good to have some binoculars as they looked like rocks when they first came out of the ocean. Listen out for their ‘quacking’ noise as they group together. It is cold so bring a jacket. They make their way in scattered groups up the beach. It is a popular tourist hotspot so get there early to enjoy the best view.

It was such a fun and memorable experience going to see the Sea life aquarium with our kids. We were also celebrating my husband's birthday during that time. Having a discounted ticket is also a plus because of the living expenses, and we get to enjoy it because our kids are still free. We just enjoyed every bit of it.

The experience was fantastic. We managed to see whales quite a few times and also dolphins.

Excellent! The orange roller coaster was fun. There was almost no line for the Giant Drop. King Cobra was comfortable to ride. Everything was not crowded, which was great.

the place is convenient to go by ourselves. I spent 4.5 hr there. The gold mine tour can choose one session out of three options there and cost 40min. The self guided mine tour, gold pour tour, and sweet making session are most interesting and funny to join. The NPCs there are so professional and nice, good to chat with them. Parade is also good to see and photo with. One disappointed thing is that lack of food choice and good place to eat main dish.

Tony was great driving us along the Great Ocean Road and back on the big bus, serving as driver, guide, photographer and timekeeper. Spotted wild koalas along the way. Itinerary was well spaced out, right amount of time for photos at each stop. Lunch at Apollo Bay was great, too bad it rained after lunch so didn’t get to explore much. We reached the 12 Apostles at the right timing, bright and sunny. Unfortunately, it rained heavily at Loch Ard Gorge, but stopped when we were at London Bridge, though the sky had turned gloomy by then. Overall, would recommend this tour for those that don’t opt to self drive the Great Ocean Road.

the attraction pass is very worth as you get to visit 2 or 3 more attractions by adding ~10 dollars more. all places requires about an hour’s time. love the aquarium the most as you get to sit a small boat to view the penguins closer. not much of queues at all attractions.
