Although there are few places, in the urban area, it is suitable for travelers who are in a hurry to see kangaroos and koalas up close. It is mainly an indoor itinerary, so it is suitable for rainy days.

With a small computer, everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery through the window. The staff was friendly and we booked a trip in the morning. Due to rain clouds, they proactively suggested changing the time. We hope customers can enjoy the beautiful scenery. Great!

The scenery is beautiful, but it only lasts 1.5 hours, so hurry up to enjoy the scenery and eat. Mainly enjoying the beautiful scenery and the food is okay. The price will be cheaper on weekdays.

I went without much expectation, but I was twice as impressed! The huge aquarium tunnel was impressive, and there were so many different animal friends that it was a very informative time. Penguin boat? I could see the penguins in detail even without riding. It was more fun because I could observe both above and below the water.

It's convenient because it's available right away! I used it well at a reasonable price. I recommend going to the zoo at opening time. The animals are awake in the morning, but in the afternoon, there are times when they're not there unless they're eating.

Best deal through Klook! The aquarium itself is very nice, not very big but the Dugong, the Mantas, and the huge sharks make it worth it to see it with your own eyes. The animals are well taken care of. I think it's a very good plan also for going with children, and for when you want to do something but don't have the whole day as for the aquarium maybe 2-3 hours would be enough.
