Brisbane Buddy is a discount card for students which allows you completely cash free entry to attractions, as well as many discounts in outlets around Brisbane.
It works as a 'smart card' - like a credit card with a computer chip inside – which means you just need to swipe your card for entry into Brisbane’s top attractions, tours, cruises and adventure activities or show your card in a number of other participating outlets for more discounts.
There are three different options available to purchase – the price depends on how many experiences you would like to visit – and once you have it, it is valid for a whole 12 months. Visiting attractions with the Brisbane Buddy card could save you between AU$32 and AU$54 on entry prices alone – on top of that there are the "Show & Save" discounts that you can receive - up to 40%.
You can easily order your Brisbane Buddy card online and pick it up when you arrive. Have a look at the Brisbane Buddy website for more information about the places where you can use the card and to purchase.
