Christine CassidyApril 27, 2018If you enter from up top then do a loop of the sky safari before entering the zoo
Hieu TranDecember 23, 2010There are two gates for you to get in the zoo (top and back), you can go by bus to top and rail trail is free to go into front gate, try seal, birds show !!!!
Jamie BoydNovember 16, 2015Quality zoo - it is quite hilly so be prepared to walk. Plenty of animals
The spider show at 3pm is extremely entertaining. The guy who presents it does it like a theatrical monologue. It's brilliant
AlexanderApril 25, 2019The only good things were the amazing harbour and city views and the friendly staff.
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- 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!
Duncan PJSeptember 5, 2014The best part of the bird show is when they sacrafice a small child to an owl
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.
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.
Ahmed فيرمين روميرو دي توريسAugust 15, 2019Study the map well, make sure you visit everything. And download the app
Viveka WeileyApril 5, 2010If you come to the Zoo more than once a year, join Zoofriends for free entry all year. It's a great deal & it takes all the pressure out of visiting, knowing you can return any time.
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
Pradeesh PNovember 28, 2011Awesome zoo . It's huge , friendly staff and awesome view . It's a must visit . Be early
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.
hi i'm jezSeptember 11, 2013Roar and snore tents: ask for tents 3-8 for a killer view of the Harbour
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!

Check out the bird show, it's awesome! Become a Zoo friend and visit every day free of charge.
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!!- Josh CapelinNovember 30, 2009come early, leave early and avoid the crowds. seal show at 11 + 2. Bird Show (a must) 12 + 3. BYO lunch + water.
Patrick LimNovember 6, 2011Free up your entire day if you want to see the entire zoo! Really good experience...
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.
Becoming a Zoo friends member is such good value especially if you have kids.

"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."
