    "Q1 The observation deck of the building is worth going. The tickets we bought on Trip.com are very convenient for on-site ticket inspection. It is indeed cheaper than buying on the spot. I didn't choose the breakfast time specially, I was afraid that there were too many people. I went in the afternoon, there were not many people, I ordered a drink, sat and watched slowly, and I could see the entire Gold Coast building on the 77th floor, 👍"

    "Today we had a koala breakfast experience to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had 3 generations to attend. I thought it would be the ability to have breakfast with the koalas near us and to be able to take pictures.. I was wrong. It was a complete morning outing. Breakfast was great, with fruit plates, muffins, croissants and jam, full hot breakfast, tea, coffee and juice! Sleepwalking! We were with koalas to take photos. We had a training session and were taken to several pens on the spot. The feeding time is up and all the koalas are awake and moving. We are willing to be with a lot of people, pat and take pictures. It was all done through our koala breeder, jenniel, who was great and enthusiastic. After that we went to professional koala pictures.. Each ticket brings one ... so five pictures! They are all great. Thank you our photographer Sarah. Then you can visit the site that day.. A great day, it exceeded all expectations.. Thanks to the Paradise National Team."

    "Wet n Wild Water World, staggered peaks to play, all large projects do not have to queue long, it is more refreshing than buying a fast track pass! At the beginning of autumn, several water projects have entered the state of conservation, but it does not affect the fun and excitement of water play, and the existing large projects are enough to make people enjoy! Kaboom, Tornado, AquaLoop, Black Hole, etc. are very exciting and fun, as long as the energy and physical strength allow, almost no need to queue up to play unlimited!"
