Taronga Zoo, Bradleys Head Rd on Postcard

"Travelers should visit Taronga Zoo as much forits harbor views asfor the 4,000 resident animals (who get to see them all day long). Ferry 15 minutes from Circular Quay and take an optional Sky Safari cable car, included in the ticket price, and you’re in an exotic land of giraffes, elephants, and bongos as well as native echidnas, wombats, and Tasmanian devils. Wildlife tours, zookeeper talks (including impressive bird shows), and special events such as the Twilight at Taronga summer concert series are on the calendar, and a tented camp accommodates overnight guests who help feed select animals before a sunset dinner set against the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Tent cabins feature decks that lure campers out of bed for sunrise."

Went there for Vivid in 2022. I was impressed though the food can be overpriced (though it was nice enough).

Really great zoo. If you’re in Sydney I highly recommend visiting. Take the cable car (gondola) for incredible views of the city.

Great visit to the zoo. First thing, the safari lift is NOT in use but there is a bus to the top front entrance. Small queue for tickets and grab a few map. Suggest planning your day, if you don’t like hills then go side to side then down so you finish at bottom. Some great exhibits, animals look well kept and some great view points to get a cracking picture. Wasn’t too busy (Sept) but hot. Overall a smashing visit, well planned out zoo with some interactive parts. *****

I really appreciated the Australian animals exhibits and the possibility to get there by ferry, but a lot of cages around the zoo were empty for maintenance. Also, after finishing the seal show at 2:15pm we could not find anywhere to have lunch because all the food places were closed or out of food (on a Saturday)

Taronga Zoo in Sydney offers an incredible wildlife experience with stunning views of the cityscape and harbor. The diverse range of animals, well-maintained exhibits, and engaging keeper talks make it a memorable visit. The zoo's commitment to conservation and education adds depth to the experience, making it an enjoyable outing for both adults and children. The Sky Safari cable car provides a unique perspective, enhancing the overall charm of this iconic Australian zoo.

The Roar and Snore experience is fantastic. We had the opportunity to meet a few of the species and talk to their carers. You go on a nocturnal walk and an early walk when the park is still not open to day visitors. You learn a lot about the animals, the conservation efforts and all programs Taronga Zoo runs to educate on and protect wildlife. The guides are very knowledgeable and entertaining, you can feel they are really passionate about their work. You get the experience of waking up to an environment full of animals and listen to their sounds what is a quite unique experience.

Beautiful place; large variety of animals and food outlets; A great place to spend ur entire day with family and friends. Prams/strollers are provided for $15 or you can bring ur own. Washrooms are neat and tidy. Sky safari available for additional cost. Just bring ur sunscreen and umbrella depending on the weather

bit hit and miss. some exhibits closed but only found out when walked of main path to viewing area to find two signs stating elephants in lower enclosure. avoidable wasted steps for those like myself who are infirm. no penguins did I see, seen signs but alas 0. flying squirrels another wasted walk as enclosure deserted. on a plus the Sumatran Tigers are a tip top how it should be done Zoo feature. The Seal, Sealion display is also a must see. so please Taronga Zoo sort the signage and save the less able the extra distance.
