We chose the 1-hour tour with a meal. The Chinese-speaking guide thoroughly explained the construction process, and we were lucky enough to catch a theater group rehearsing! :D For the meal, we chose the midden, and the fish fillet and chicken breast were excellent.

Although the itinerary was packed, the scenery along the way was beautiful, making it a very worthwhile place to visit. Nature itself forms a stunning landscape painting.

A fantastic musical experience! The seats were closer to the stage than I imagined, and the accompaniment of the symphony orchestra, combined with the excellent lighting and sound effects, made it well worth the experience.

The tour guide was great and explained everything very well, detailing the history and stories of the Opera House, which led to a deeper understanding of the Opera House. The meal at the restaurant was also quite delicious.

Showing this pass allowed us to enter immediately. Because it's a zoo that collects animals unique to Australia, it's smaller than a general zoo and you can get around efficiently. I think it's perfect for those who have a short itinerary but want to see Australian animals! Also, there are many places to see the animals from indoors with air conditioning, so it was comfortable even in the summer.

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.

I had a fun time looking around!! There were dugongs and various fish, and I was happy to see sharks. The best part was the penguins, and you should definitely take the penguin expedition? boat ride as it's free, you can see penguins up close.
