The NSW government gave every adult resident of NSW two $25 vouchers to use at attractions and events around the state in an effort to stimulate the local economy. They also gave an additional two $25 vouchers to be used when dining out. Zoos such as Sydney Zoo allowed you to use one of each for every adult - so $25 discount on entrance fees plus a further $25 discount on food purchases, each.
All tickets had to be booked and pre-paid online and there were designated arrival times - we were a bit late in booking, so could only get the 11am arrival time. The carpark was already full to overflowing - the parking assistants were squeezing cars into places that weren't normally allocated to parking.
This was the last Friday of the April school holidays, so it was always going to be busy - but the extra stimulus incentives made it even more crowded.
Social distancing was almost impossible to achieve in places - but to be fair, we haven't had any cases of community transmission of COVID-19 in months, so the risk was very low.
