Taronga Zoo Sydney - Mosman (NSW)

4 /5 M C: Taronga Zoo has one of the most breathtaking views of Sydney Harbour, especially from the giraffe and zebra enclosures, making it a standout attraction for both locals and tourists. The zoos layout offers a pleasant walking experience, though its worth noting that the terrain is quite hilly. Families with young children or those using strollers might find certain areas challenging, so wearing comfortable footwear is advisable. Animal enclosures are spacious and well-maintained. It however seems to have a limited variety of species compared to other major zoos, though it makes a great option for an wildlife intro the young ones. The zoos amenities are clean and conveniently located throughout the grounds. Food outlets offer a decent selection, but prices tend to be on the higher side, which is typical for a tourist spot. Would recommend packing your own food as theyre many picnic area available. Dont miss the Seal Show and the Free Flight Bird Show - very entertaining. Allow for three hours to leisurely explore the zoo. While theres a paid car park available, street parking is available within walking distance.

5 /5 Eiríkr L: Loved my trip to Taronga! So many awesome animals to see. You can definitely spend a whole day here. Some of my favorites for the day included the Sumatran tigers, red pandas, capybara, emu, koala, kangaroos. Very easy to get to when you take the boat to and from the zoo. You also get beautiful views of Sydney! Food is also priced pretty well. The Lamb & Rosemary pie and coffees were really good and cheap surprisingly. Remember to wear sunblock and don’t miss some cute souvenirs to bring home too!

A truly memorable day out.

5 /5 Yubo Zhuo: Very iconic zoo in Sydney, very close to most suburbs. Great ticket value. Fun to go there. Very famous koalas live there. There are a lot of good photo locations and animal photos, spent 4 hours there and didn’t even get to see all the animals. Great zoo, recommend for tourists and anyone who wants to go.
