    This is one of the better zoo's we've seen in our world travels. There's so much wildlife to see and appreciate for any age group. A unique feature of this place is that most of it is located on a hillside. We had expected to take an aerial tram from the ferry docks, but it was "inopereative" and signs said it was to be out of commission for several months, yet no mention of this was publicly made by the ticket sellers. After waiting almost an hour a bus took us up the hill to the main entrance. We would advise to take plenty of water with you and there are up-hill paths and we, being older adults, (age 76 and 68), found uphill walking very tiring. We would recommend you plan your visit early in the morning to avoid heat exhaustion. A big disappointment was the most popular exhibits: the big "cats" and elephants were, for some reason, not being displayed the day we visited--again, no advanced warning prior to the ticket purchase. The zoo is located across Sydney's harbor. Although reachable by car/bus transportation, taking a water ferry is much quicker and cooler and you'll get to see Sydney's waterfront and skyline from a unique perspective.

    We caught the ferry to the zoo Which it’s self is enjoyable. All the views around the Zoo are breathtaking from the Opera House the the Bridge. One down side they don’t take cash which is very frustrating as my phone had locked its self. Any past that the staff were all very friendly and happy a few of the main attractions were closed so little sad. My partner loves the elephants so that made her happy 😃 I enjoyed walking around seeing tigers . Lions the monkeys. But I did that there would be a few more different animals. Food and drinks were very expensive. But apart from few little grumbles we enjoyed it.

    I have been to a few zoos, and this one was the best yet. We went in June, and the weather was perfect. Not too hot so the animals were pretty active. The zoo is immaculate (for both visitors and wildlife). A great variety of wildlife, lots of shade for everyone, and Sydney Harbor as a backdrop just tops off a great zoo. I am not sure why everyone complains about the ferry. It is not run by the zoo, it is public transportation. We waited maybe 10 minutes tops, and if you check the schedule, you can probably wait less than that :) I am so glad we went to this zoo during our Sydney visit. Well worth the time.

    Besides it being a wet day, the park was easy to get around and explore all areas. The animals appeared to be well looked after zoo animals which my son enjoyed finding all of them

    The zoo's location is one of its best features with the harbor and bridge as its back drop. The visit was good but with a number of animal areas closed (Gorillas + Lions) it let itself down. The giraffe enclosure and the interaction of the animals with the visitors was good. It was nice to see some Australian animals (visiting from Europe) however if you are used to European Zoo's this is in my opinion not in the same league. The free flight was good but very limited birds compared to others I have seen. Nice way to spend a couple of hours or so in Sydney and different travelling to and from by ferry.

    I’ve been to my share of zoos in North America. The Taronga Zoo is heavily mentioned in travel blogs and vlogs so thought it would be worth visiting. I booked online the day of the visit, to get the online discount. Taking a ferry from Circular Quay is a nice way of getting there. I spent about 2 hours there, and was generally happy with my visit as I got to see animals that I wouldn’t see back at home. Favourites include the red pandas, koalas, meerkats, wombats and little penguins. If I had time to attend the talks and shows, it’s easily a whole day activity. Overall, I enjoy my visit. It was worth it.

    Seal show and bird show. Tigers were good to watch. Heaps of closed areas. If winter is an issue for safety of animals then either the zoo should be closed temporarily or reduce the ticket.

    We did not enjoy zoo. I wrote a complaint to zoo but they were not bothered. I asked about a discount at till & advised there were no discounts. When i returned home i realised if we had pre booked online we would have gotten a discount. Gardening & maintenance poor, zoo looked very run down, escalators & lifts not working. Watched numerous people with mobility issues try to get up & down the stairs. Koala experience not as advertised complete waste of time, nothing like the picture they show you. Many of the animals enclosures did not look adequate. Im very concerned about the animals at the zoo (for the ones you could see) Many enclosures were empty. The kangaroos in particular looked miserable. I spotted rubbish & cigarette butts in the enclosures, very upsetting Zoo was supposed to close at 5pm however around 3.30pm they were closing up (too bad if you wanted to go to gift shop or toilet before leaving) The zoo never answered my question regarding this, all very strange Luckily visited singapore zoo prior to this & it was brilliant Best thing about sydney zoo was the view!

    Just the ferry ride over from Circular Quay is a pleasure and then wow, such an amazing zoo, we enjoyed it so very much. If you can, book the Koala Encounter - though you can't hold or touch the koalas (there are 2 in the enclosure you are in), you can get very close to it, and you have a nearly private time with it, I believe 4 adults is the max number allowed. We were able to take some wonderful photos in our allotted 5 minutes. So many things to see here, on the various levels of the hillside zoo, with arguably the best view of any zoo in the world, looking across to Sydney. We loved the Free Flight Bird Show and the Seal Show. We particularly loved the newly opened Australia section near the top of the hill. We recommend starting your day at the top of the zoo and working your way down. The gorillas, the giraffes, the squirrel monkeys and their babies - we could have watched them for hours, fascinating adorable creatures! The zoo is very clean and well maintained. The docents were very helpful and informative - they want you to ask questions! We were at the zoo for 5 hours and felt that we did not have enough time, but we had dinner reservations and had to get going! Until next time!
