Taronga Zoo, Cremorne Point

Bird enclosure / exhibits are the real standouts of this zoo. Bug exhibit needs significant work (would love to see a butterfly enclosure similar to Melbourne's). Seal show is good. Recommend looking at the exhibit times on the map (which you can opt to collect from a stand just inside the entry) as these are impressive. Also recommend booking online so you can ride the skyline up to the zoo's entrance (if you take the ferry). For those wondering the views of the city from this zoo are excellent and the lines for tickets move quickly!

One of the best zoo’s I’ve visited over the years! The timing of our trip was perfect! When a koala bear sleeps 20 hours a day, how lucky can you get when you can see the Koala climbing the tree. I’m additional, all of the animals were lively and actively moving around in their environment. The animal exhibits were very close, making it easier to see the animals. If you make the trip, take the bus to the zoo and return back to the city via ferry for the scenic views of the bridge and opera house.

We went for the view of Sydney and that didn’t disappoint. Ferry trip was lovely, quick and cheap. There was a huge queue for the gondola ride so we got the bus. Which was full and not Covid friendly! I had been to the zoo in the late 80s when a relative of mine worked there. Not much has changed. Except it’s. wry expensive to get it. $51 to be exact. And the prices for coffee and snacks were steep. It did look a bit tired and in need of some dollars spent on upgrades. I live in Adelaide and apart from the view our zoo is faring better. However it was a pleasant day and we got our steps up and the view is beautiful.

Incredible spot overlooking the harbour. Booked in advance, scanned QR code on entry. Very easy and waiting time was not too long. Easily navigable zoo, with plenty of interesting enclosures. Lots of kids (as you would expect) but plenty of ways to avoid the crowds when you can. Not too hilly or difficult to get around. Food options very limited, but easy to go through the park in 2-3 hours, and hop on the ferry back to Circular Quay for other food options.

An amazing day spent with my 3 teenage girls around the park. During Covid times, we are encouraged to book tickets online. We used Dine & discover voucher to enter. The parking was a flat rate. Using a car is cheaper when you are a group of more than 4. The park is for all ages.. The seal show was amazing and very informative.. It took us around 4 hours to go all around. It is good to go as early as 10 and take 6 hours not to rush.. I think it is a great zoo with a great team of workers spread all over the place to make the visit memorable. It is important to wear comfortable shoes due to the amount of walking to be done.
