Wow! Talk about a zoo with a view - everywhere you turn amazing views of Sydney harbour! The animals are amazing, they have a huge variety - most variety I have seen in any zoo! From gorillas to meerkats to seals to giraffes! Very hilly place to walk. Also in my experience take public transport to get there- silly me parked in city and we took the ferry over. Well worth the price and the food wasn’t too bad either. Under $10 per meal however cokes were like $4 a bottle. The sky car included in price is also great to chillax and ride over one side of the zoo. Highly recommend for a family
To visit at least once!

Great place, my bro works there, the animals are simply adorable and you can't get enough of them. I help him often and love being there, so will you.

Perfect place for the kids and young at hearts. Seal and birds shows are my favorite. A good place to walk around as well. You can haggle good price for the lovely man driving the chuchu train if you are in group. I paid 20 bucks for us and we are group of 10. Always bring your water when you go there, otherwise its 4$ per bottle

We decided to visit Taronga Zoo for Valentine's Day this year & couldn't be happier with the decision to do so. We booked our day through Experience Oz and had our tickets & transport to and from Circular Quay sorted. It had been some time since I had seen Taronga Zoo & was very impressed with all the renovations. It still boasts a great atmosphere and brilliant displays & enclosures for the animals.

The meerkats, elephants & otters were particularly hilarious but I was very satisfied with the variety & amount of animals that were there. Be sure to arrive well before there feeding time though, anything after 2pm and most of them are in a big food coma.

The food & souvenirs were a bit pricey but that is always expected with such a venue. The view overlooking the city & the harbour was magnificent and if you can catch yourself there on a nice sunny day, it truly is a sight to be seen.

Overall it was a great experience & a memorable way to spend a Valentine's Day. Will definitely be heading back to the zoo again, maybe for a live musical performance at night or the Roar & Snore!

Approximate cost: $60 pp

This was my first ever visit to a zoo and I'm going back again soon seeing the animals so close and full of fun is just wow, highlight of the day was watching the sea lion show, even tho I got wet I love it and made the day even better. Cannot fault anything it's a well run organised business that is suitable for everyone

Beautiful hole day out. Love all the animals very cute. Some of the animal shows are a must see as they are entertaining. The sights of sydney are spectacular an breath taking. A bit pricy though.

I love the fact that you can get to Taronga Zoo by using the Ferry! This would have to be the most beautiful set up of a zoo that I have ever seen. Lots of animals to see and their enclosures are absolutely stunning and inviting. Here I actually touched a snake for the first time!!! And never again!!! Haha. It is quite a small Zoo compared to some of the others and its on a hill which makes it very unique! They also have a ride like thing that takes you to the top of the zoo so you can work your way back down again for when you want to catch the ferry back again. I loved the atmosphere when I was there and I would happily fly to Sydney for the day just to go to Taronga Zoo.

Taronga zoo is a great place to bring your kids and to just have a relaxing day out. The place is realllly big so its obvious youll probably get lost but if your catching a ferry there from circular quay, you can get tickets when you get off and you can go up to the zoo in a safari and start from the top and slowly go down. The view is also great and there is a huge variet of animals living there which is great. A bit pricy though.
