Pete IannettaApril 4, 2017Normally a great day out but unfortunately with so much work going on, very few animals on display and difficult to get around
Kanji IshiwaraJanuary 27, 2020The zoo is ok. The views of CBD and circular quay are better. However, the chicken burrito at the food market is horrible. It’s like chipotle’s ugly cousin with an IQ of 20...inedible congealed mess!
ELS Universal English CollegeAugust 18, 2011This zoo is in such a prime position. Not only can you see the animals but you can also enjoy the views of the harbour.
AlexanderApril 25, 2019The only good things were the amazing harbour and city views and the friendly staff.
Duncan PJSeptember 5, 2014The best part of the bird show is when they sacrafice a small child to an owl
Alistair ErskineFebruary 11, 2013Brinh your own drinks :: water is $4.50 a bottle, fizzy is $5 for 600ml.. Amazing zoo and all but that's more expensive than the ski fields.
If you plan on coming here a few times a year, grab a zoo pass. I bring my son here quite a bit and it's well worth the investment
J JAugust 6, 2011Bring your own food. Animals are great. Food bordering on inedible. And wear very comfy shoes. It's a lot of walking.
Sarah LysaughtOctober 31, 2010The animal encounters are quick and maybe a little pricey, but the photographer does a really good job to get an excellent shot.
Crave SydneySeptember 27, 2010On Oct 2, celebrating the Thai culture of Taronga's elephants, visitors can purchase Thai food outside their exhibit, including pad thai & chicken satay as part of the Crave Sydney International Food Read more
Check out the bird show, it's awesome! Become a Zoo friend and visit every day free of charge.

Christine CassidyApril 27, 2018If you enter from up top then do a loop of the sky safari before entering the zoo
Richard ColeJanuary 19, 2010Roar 'N Snore!Probably the best way to spend an evening in Sydney, glamping on the harbour, drinking wine, watching the sunset, night walk of the zoo followed by an early morning feeding session.
Patrick LimNovember 6, 2011Free up your entire day if you want to see the entire zoo! Really good experience...
Chele RocksDecember 17, 2010Highly recommend the VIP tour. Amazing access & great info. Frank is a super guide with 20+ years experience.
Becoming a Zoo friends member is such good value especially if you have kids.
Ahmed فيرمين روميرو دي توريسAugust 15, 2019Study the map well, make sure you visit everything. And download the app

- Someone says here in tips that Taronga is just a tourist trap. I COMPLETELY disagree. Check out the bird and seal shows. Will wow you every time!
Karin ElliasSeptember 12, 2010It's a big zoo with complete animals. Love all the unique wildlife :) Best place for animal lovers ♥
Paris FrankeNovember 23, 2011If you want a tour go to the info desk and ask for one of the volunteers take you around. They only charge $0.50!!

"Worth the trip out here. A lot of good variety and the layout is great. Must-do when visiting Sydney!"
Jeiran Hasan - 7.0
"Not as extensive as Taronga Zoo but still has a fair few animals and for people in the outer west of Sydney this zoo is much more accessible."
