We visited Taronga Zoo on a weekday during the first week of October. At the ferry dock for the zoo, kids outnumbered adults. Upon arrival, most people headed for the sky safari. That line was very long. To save time, we got on one of the buses which parked right by the ferry dock. After waiting for a few minutes,... more

My husband and I visited the Taronga Zoo in Sydney September 2009. We booked the Wild Australia Experience Tour in addition to visiting the zoo. The tour was a backstage look at the animals in the Australian section of the zoo. As visitors from the US, it was an opportunity to see animals we would never see in the states.... more

We supposed to get 10% disc with Day Tripper ticket ( 17AUD for whole day ride of goverment ferries, buses, and trains), but somehow the entrance locket girl said there's only "yellow" day tripper ticket is valid for disc.... ???????????? Get in from top entrance and exploring down. when you at the bottom, take a skyway (cable car) that's included... more

Great zoo - from the ferry ride to the zoo to the animals. If you go, take the gondola ride after you get off the ferry...don't take the bus. It's much more fun! Plenty of animals - allow for about 3-4 hours to see everything. VERY disappointed in the koala exhibit, however. You can't even see a koala (behind glass... more

We caught a ferry to Taronga Zoo where the very passionate Gray introduced us to a couple of the zoo’s very special residents. First up was the Echidna, a supersize hedgehog like animal and very weird to touch, both prickly and soft?! Then a Quokka, which is a mini Wallaby, and a Wombat, which I’m not joking, was the cutest... more

This place is really nice and handy for the city if you don't get to go into more wild areas of Australia. The bird show is the best I've ever seen and as Sydney including the opera house and the harbour bridge as a background, you'll get some amazing shots and not believe where you are. The ferry from circular... more

I have been to the zoo several times but its always so exciting to go there. The prices are fairly reasonable for a day out ($41 for adult fare). The bird show is a must, it costs no extra. Walking around is quite hard once you get down to the bottom so wear comfy shoes. The new food facilities are... more

Visited teh Zoo on Saturday and had a great day. Caught the the 9.45am ferry and got to the zoo before the crowds did. Views back to the CIty are awesome and the Animal shows, Keeper talks and exhibits just make this a fantastic place to go no matter what age you are. Saying that its a bit hilly so... more
