The Sydney aquarium is great !! The views from Sydney Harbour Cruise are beautiful.
Wild life Sydney doesn't worth seeing; it's too small and commercial. Go instead to Featherdale Wildlife Park.

The best deal in town! Just take your online reference to Sydney Aquarium, obtain all 4 tickets valid up to 3 months and The World's your Oyster! The Aquarium itself has a colorful array of sea life from the curious Blue Hump headed Maori Wrasse with eyes that follow your every move (being a kiwi from N.Z and being part Maori he was a fav since we did have a name and Big Lips in common), then there are the adorable Nemo's (Clown Fish) living in their Spongey Pink Anemone, which if I were them would be quite at home in, they are so funny to watch and rather then glide through the water they wiggle up, down, sideways, true to their name! If you want another perspective, take the glass bottom boat out to view from above, if your lucky Brian the Leopard Shark may pop over for a pat from his keeper while you throw them fishy treats, or you might want to get up close and personal in the Underwater Tunnel while Sting Rays fly above head and sharks brush past your cheeks, pressed up against the glass, hungry eyes staring back! Take a break at the Reef Theatre and watch stunning views of The Great Barrier Reef, or pop next door to The Green Room and choose a selection of fun backdrops like sailing on a boat outside The Opera House when Jaws attacks, or riding a giant sea turtle! Jaws is almost as scary as the life sized Great White looming in the darkness with the amazing Lego Exhibits like the mermaid, a diver and glorious King Neptune! Never one to say no to shopping, there is a great gift shop to take home some memorabilia of your unique under the sea journey! "Nemo anyone!".....

Excellent value for the money, however, don't believe it when they say you don't need to print a copy of your booking. We didn't have access to a printer and spent over 30 minutes trying to get our passes from the Sydney Aquarium who insisted we had to have a paper copy.

The Sydney Aquarium is a treat for adults and kids. It's a visual delight walking through the Perspex underwater tunnels and seeing 10-foot wide stingrays, dozens of different sharks and huge turtles swimming inches away. There is the greatest 'big screen' display ever, a tank so big it takes up an entire wall with thousands of colourful fish, rays and sharks circling endlessly - very therapeutic! Our family has been to the Sydney Aquarium many times and we're always amazed by something new each visit. Educational and awe-inspiring.

This is an excellent value! We had it for 2 days including transportation and saved so much money. We went to the Blue Mountains, Taronga Zoo, Sydney Opera House, Sydney Aquarium, Sydney Tower, OzTrek and a cruise of the harbor - all for $118. I definitely recommend it, just be prepared to be exhausted!

Convenient pack of tickets to popular attractions and cruise or hop on hop off.
Sydney Tower is a must on your first visit to Sydney.
Sydney Aquarium is impressive. They have so many sea creatures to watch.
Wild life is a small zoo. They have a lot to look at, but it seems a bit cramped.

This aquarium isn't as large or diverse as the National Aquarium in Baltimore MD (U.S). but makes up its lack of size with lengthy tunnels that wind through its three largest tanks, allowing sharks, Dugongs and other exotic fish to swim around the visitors. The only drawback is that it is less expensive to buy tickets for the Sydney Aquarium in Sydney using widely available 20% off coupons than it is to buy tickets in advance through Viator. Although Viator offers a "Skip the Line" pass, there were no lines when I visited.

We took the 1 day smartvisit card without transport. it was a really really good buy & we saved so much with tis fabulous card. we managed to do "the rocks walking tour", pylon lookout, sydney opera house tour & oz jetboating in the morningafternoon. We got ourselves by bus to darling habour by 4.30pm and did the sydney wildlife & sydney aquarium. the day was a bit of a rush but it was all worth with this heavily "subsidised" card! later, we had dinner & went to sydney tower too! please note that the last oztrek show is at 9pm.All in all, i will definitely recommend tis card to anyone,,,,,

I took this package for 2 overseas relatives on a 2 week holiday. They marveled at the Sydney Aquarium most as it was an experience they had not had before. The Wildlife World came second added to my ever inquisitive German brother-in-law's knowledge about reptiles. I would say the Sydney Tower was the most boring as it did not even give a good view of the Opera House. Paying extra for the Skywalk would probably change my opinion.

We go to lots of aquariums, and the Sydney Aquarium is definitely worth seeing.
