Good visit - Lovely little zoo. Clean and animals seem well cared for and looked after. Took about 2 hours 30 mins at a fair pace to get round and see everything. My only feedback would be please update your map - it made no sense whatsoever! Easy ferry ride over from Circular Quay and fair regular ferries, their times are detailed at the zoo.

Amazingly beautiful zoo! - I live in Scottsdale Arizona and as an artist, I visit zoos whenever we travel. Today we visited Sydney’s Tarango zoo. I usually have a love/hate relationship with zoos as I need to see the animals in order to draw them, but I want their enclosures to be very roomy. This zoo delivered both! Absolutely beautiful grounds and wonderful enclosures. I could see the animals well enough to draw most of them. The whole pride of lions were out sleeping though, but they all looked so healthy and beautiful! Nice place for a snack too. Thank you Sydney for a wonderful experience at your zoo.

Don't miss the Taronga Zoo! It's Beautiful! - 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.

Zoo accessible by ferry - I came here during the day because my flight back was at night. I think it took about 10 minutes by ferry from Circular Quay to the opposite shore. We arrived quickly. The zoo entrance is on top of a mountain, so it's convenient to take a bus, and there seems to be a cable car a short walk away. On the way from Circular Quay to the zoo, I struggled to get a slightly cheaper ticket with a 2D barcode, but for some reason the usual image authentication (selecting car, bicycle, traffic light, etc.) didn't work, so I ended up buying a more expensive regular ticket at the counter. At the giraffe area, you can take good photos with the city on the opposite shore in the background. The behavioral exhibits, including animals that only exist in Australia, are nice. There were not many kangaroos. There was one shop selling ice cream and drinks in the center, and maybe a restaurant. I recommend bringing your own drinks. I bought some souvenirs and returned by bus and ferry.

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

Amazing Zoo - So many animals, it was amazing. There were lots of different animals like safari animals, rainforest, and tigers (oh my!) The tigers are a must-see they have a fake Indonesian village and then you see the tigers, it was so cool. The food was bad at the cafeteria, and if you sit outside birds will attack. We saw them steal food. So just pack your lunches and sit inside. :) loved the zoo, only thing was that some animals were closed. And the seal show was AMAZING it was the best thing ever and so funny.

Would not recommend Taronga Park zoo - 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?
