Merlin Entertainments Group’s Sydney attractions offer frontline workers free entry in August

SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium, Sydney Tower Eye and WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo are sending a big ‘thank you’ to frontline workers with free entry throughout the month of August.

Merlin Entertainments Group advises that “emergency services, healthcare and teaching professionals can enjoy their days off the battlefield by walking through a fantasy-like world under the sea, exploring an array of beautiful species from Australia’s outback and enjoying the views 250 metres above Sydney’s streets.”

 Merlin Entertainments Group Divisional Director - Midway Asia Pacific, Rob Smith notes “we at SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium, Sydney Tower Eye and WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo are forever grateful to selfless frontline workers who keep us every day Australians safe throughout these unprecedented times.

“Whether they’re battling fires, caring for our sick or educating young minds, we want to say thank you by inviting them to enjoy a day out in beautiful Sydney on us.”

SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium, Sydney Tower Eye and WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo’s free entry offer follows a similar initiative launched by Madame Tussauds Sydney in July which was hugely popular with the frontline community.

It is also part of the ‘Big Thank You’, a global effort by parent company, Merlin Entertainments to donate 30,000 tickets to emergency and essential workers across the UK, Asia, North America, as well as Australia and New Zealand.

To redeem the offer, frontline workers use the codeword ‘THANK YOU’ when booking online and present a valid Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) card, Staff ID or proof of work.  

Free entry extends to teachers, doctors, nurses, paramedics, police, fire officers, ambulance officers, aged care workers, pre-school workers and correctional services officers.

The offer is available until Monday 31st August 2020.
