The Sydney Multi-Attraction Pass was a great deal! It was well-priced and we were able to spread the activities over a couple of days, combining it with the epic Darling Harbour Playground. It was hugely convenient having 3 of the attraction in the same location; and our trip to the Sydney Eye enabled us to catch the light rail, which the kids particularly enjoyed. All the attractions packed a lot of punch. Thank you!

We had such a wonderful and memorable experience! Even though we arrived really late, the staff were very kind and accommodating. They still allowed us to ride the boat to get a closer look at the penguins and watch them up close, which made our visit even more special. We really appreciated their kindness and effort to make sure we didn’t miss out on the experience. Thank you for making our visit so enjoyable!

I enjoy everytime I have visited this place, although the only downfall this time was the current renovations going on. I didn't know they were happening until, after I saw we had to walk another way around 😳, we also missed seeing the dugong from above after my youngest kept asking me if we would see it and unfortunately only saw it from underneath. It was a shame there was no signage about no longer viewing the dugong from above. I only found this out upon exiting and only because I asked why we couldn't see Pig from above 🤔.

We had so much fun walking through and seeing all the different sea life creatures. We did have trouble to start off with, when we had an issue and were unable to go earlier we attempted to reschedule or get a refund however we're still working with that one. Overall our experience we got to go on was so much fun.
