The Ultimate Sydney Attractions Pass
I chose Sydney Tower, Zoo, and Aquatic Pavilion from three of the four. I didn’t check the information before going. It was amazing when I visited the Aquatic Center. One floor after another is much larger than the buildings that can be seen outside. Unfortunately, there is not much time reserved. He reluctantly left until he had to retreat.

Sydney Opera House Guided Walking Tour
A great experience. The one-hour content walked into several main exhibition spaces. As long as there is no rehearsal room on the day, the guide will take us to the tour and introduce us with due diligence. The guide will not only introduce the building of the opera house. In addition to the background and craftsmanship, we also took us to admire the Sydney Bridge in a few corners that ordinary people would not enter, so that even children can have a full experience.

Sydney Tower Eye Ticket
For some reason, I did not check my ticket and let me go directly to the express elevator, which meant that the ticket was useless. I gave it to a Hong Kong girl going to Sydney in Canberra every few days. The scenery is beautiful and you can see the aircraft carrier, but I know a lot of foreign friends. I was in the city where I had walked by the sea. It was worth a visit.

SkyFeast at Sydney Tower (previously Sydney Tower Buffet)
It is very convenient to buy e-tickets on klook. Go upstairs from the Westfield shopping mall and redeem the seats at the relevant counters. Then take the elevator upstairs to enter the restaurant inside the Sydney Tower. It will not be too troublesome! The ticket price is cheaper than buying on-site, and it is more cost-effective. You can experience 360-degree views and all-you-can-eat oysters. Although there are not as many types of food as the buffet restaurant in Taiwan, the night view is invincible~ a pleasant experience~

Highly recommended
Australian National Maritime Museum Ticket in Sydney
This attraction is super recommended. I thought it would be popular, but in addition to the various ship technology and history of the museum (the fossils of the ancient sea dinosaurs of the Sea Monster are displayed on the day), the highlights are the physical ships (ancient sailing ships, battleships, shallow water towers) outside. . In fact, thinking about the fact that Australia was able to build battleships and shallow water structures during the Second World War was really amazing. Friends who are interested in history, weapons, adventure, etc., don’t miss it!! (My wife is not interested, but my 5-year-old daughter can be happy)

5 /5

Highly recommended
WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo Entry Ticket
The zoo, which can be easily reached on foot in the urban area, does not seem to be big in the hinterland, but the planning of the internal route allows Australian characteristic animals to be displayed in front of them, and there is everything there. Scan the code to enter the park, easily skip the line to buy tickets and exchange tickets
