We've watched the Taronga Zoo show for a couple of years. This was our first stop in Sydney and it did not disappoint. Beautiful zoo with incredible views. The animals have incredible habitat enclosures - especially the elephants and tigers. Lots of animal variety and some great animal experiences are available.

I was told by many people when I told people that I was visiting Sydney that the one stop you must go to is taronga Park zoo I was very disappointed in the Zoo. The animals looked very healthy and they delighted the children and everybody who looked at them. I thought the social show was very entertaining and informative and also the bird flying, but some places in cages you went to they were empty. No platypus, No lions. really not many animals.
As I was waiting in the queue to go into a show, I heard people over talking about the same thing. The gorillas is like nobody could find the gorillas. We understand that they sleep and they go in the habitat, But we've looked in the habitat where they sleep and where they they go to pass each other into the other yards. There was nothing. No animals but suddenly at 3:pm they all appeared. It was if anything just a average zoo. Nothing to write home about. Nothing to tell people what a great experience I had there. I will be telling my overseas visitors not to go there. I would not recommend it.
Disappointed.
I told my host about my experience while staying in Sydney and he said the same thing. Yeah other people come back and said to me. J it's just a average zoo they spent millions and millions on it. What have they achieved?

Taronga Zoo was fantastic! Loved seeing native Australian animals up close, and the views of the harbor from the zoo were unbeatable.

A really good experience in company of a 5 year old.
I wrote adversely of my experience four years ago.
This recent visit upgrades of many areas and better interaction and information made it a fun and informative day.

It’s definitely one of better zoo’s I’ve seen.
To get here we took a ferry from circular quay. It cost 6 dollars each for memory one way. They seemed to leave every 20-30 minutes.
The zoo itself is quite extensive and featured animal sections from Australia and internationally. It covered most animals you would expect to see in a standard zoo. Its location on the harbour also afforded some spectacular views back towards Sydney. To see it all I would recommend doing this as a whole day activity.
Drinks and food were available at various parts in the park.
Animals seemed to all be treated very well and there was an emphasis on conservation efforts with a lot of them.
A lot of the information boards seemed to be aimed more towards a paediatric audience.
Would recommend.

A lovely zoo, with lots of hilly walks, but wheelchair/stroller safe. The diversity of animals was great, especially the birds and koalas. Where the attraction lacked was in interpretive signage, no time estimates to move through large sections of the park, and the special app was not helpful at all, the wifi kept kicking out and the detailed info on the app didn't follow where you were for additional info. If you have extra time on your visit - go for it, if pressed for time, give it a miss unless it's your only chance to see wildlife.

Excellent zoo. GO EARLY. I think they open at 9:00AM. We took the boat from Circular Quay and were there in no time. I mean these animals have a million dollar view of the city! The exhibits are excellent and the grounds well maintained. We saw it all from Lions to Koalas to Lemurs. Skip the "encounters" with the animals. It's a money grab and nothing you can't do with a telephoto lens. We will go back. Perhaps I can get my lovely wife to have an encounter with a hungry lion :) Seriously, well worth the money.
