We liked how big the aquarium is and that it had tonnes to look at-a drawback which totally isnt your fault was how busy it was at the time that we went- i find it crazy that adults push to the front(in front of children) to take pics of every exhibit. Favourites were the penguins, sharks and massive Rays

There is no clear instruction on your online website that the scan for tickets must be done at the wharf before boarding so paper tickets for the zoo can be obtained there. Place well informed signage at the wharf and educate the staff involved I.e Ferry operators that paper tickets are required for zoo entry.

The kids had an amazing time at the aquarium. Some points: - The bathrooms were disgusting, really dirty and smelt. - The lack of tables to eat something afterwards, as it was lunchtime when we finished.

Miss most of it because so crowded. Mostly visitors fault for standing against the glass forever to look but must be a better way to keep people back so you can see anything. Or limit people at such busy times. Got about 40% seen. Thanks

The combo ticket consisting of the Big Bus Hop-On, Hop-Off tour and Sea Life Sydney Aquarium gave us the opportunity to visit the most important sites in Sydney at our own pace. I highly recommend it to those visiting the city.
