Taronga Zoo Sydney

"Taronga Zoo is a great place for the kids. Excellent kids playgrounds. Not as many Animals as it used to. Looking a bit tired these days post Covid. Haven't noticed as many talks going on with the animals. The bird show and seal show used to be awesome. The sky cars are closed now also making it quite hard to get around. It's great if you need a bit of exercise. I feel like this zoo is in need of more funding and support. The giraffe exhibit is excellent. You really get a close look at them. The lion enclosure was closed for maintenance. Lots of great photo opportunities with the family. Nice places to sit and have a picnic."

"Amazing views? Check. Beautiful scenery? Check. Heaps of animals? Not really. Look this is an amazing zoo and worth a visit once in a lifetime, maybe twice. But for the ticket price you’re not going to get to see as many animals as you can at the Australian Reptile Farm. You’re going for the city views and beautiful layout. Just be ready to walk!"

"Last visited 28 December 2022 so thought I'd share a review on here. Fabulous zoo!! Far better than any zoo's in NZ. Cost is only NZ$50 (or about AU$44) and that included the gondola. Return ferry to Circular Quay - public transport is dirt cheap (Opal) compared with NZ. Bird and Seal Show is wonderful. Though the seal show line is super long, we still managed to get a seat for the first time at the front. It'll be great if this zoo could order heaps of size L t-shirts for men and a variety especially for the summer holidays. Good thing we visited before they closed the gondola for renovations. Weather was beautiful. A day trip well worth it. We'll be back in Syd end of this year (late December) for a solid 2 weeks. With plans to visit the Gold Coast for the 1st time, end of next year (end of 2024)... AL from New Zealand."

"The over all experience was great. Beautiful ferry ride across the bay, amazing bird show and plenty to see. Put your walking shoes on because it's on a cliff. Lots of steep paths and steps. Great for exercise. Some of the larger animals have quite small enclosures Was the only downside."

"Well-designed and lovely zoo. The Wildlife Retreat is where we stayed, so getting to the zoo was simple. Amazing displays. Big zoo, but not overpowering like some can be. Cashless. Numerous displays of Australian animals may be located all across the zoo. They have amazing viewing spots that let you get close-up and personal. From Circular Quay, using the ferry and bus is simple."
