Sydney Fish Market is a place for yummy and fresh seafood! Sydney Fish Market does not only sell fresh local catches of the day, but they also important fresh seafood from all around the world. They import scallops from Hokkaido, king crabs from the north and many other fresh seafood which you normally are not able to find.

However, Sydney Fish Market can be a very costly for students. This can be overcomed by going to the Fish Market with a group of people. The whole point of going to the Fish Market is not to stuff yourself with great seafood, but it is to try all the varieties available and this can be done by going in a huge group. Besides that, you also get to learn about a lot of varieties of seafood you have not seen before which is just another reason why you must visit the Fish Market.

The price on average of visiting the Sydney Fish Market is about 15 dollars where you get to try most of the fried stuff available. If you are feeling a little thirsty, you can get a fresh coconut from the fresh fruit stall for 6 dollars where it will definitely help cool your body down from the sun if you plan to sit the near the boats.

Furthermore, Luna Park is relatively safe compared to other theme parks because of the recent renovations it has done. Safety is always a number one priority when venturing to theme parks, because many disasters can occur.

Here are some tips, if you are interested in visiting Luna Park in order to ensure it will be budget friendly. This usually applies to all theme parks, but do purchase your tickets online. Tickets found online are usually much cheaper than buying them on the spot, and tickets online usually have massive deals if you are going in groups. Besides that, make sure to pack your own food.
