It's convenient because it's available right away! I used it well at a reasonable price. I recommend going to the zoo at opening time. The animals are awake in the morning, but in the afternoon, there are times when they're not there unless they're eating.

Taronga Zoo is a fantastic destination for animal lovers! The views of Sydney Harbour are breathtaking, and the zoo is home to a diverse range of animals. The enclosures are well-designed, providing a great experience for both visitors and wildlife. Highlights include the giraffes and the sea lions. It's a perfect day out for families and a wonderful way to learn about conservation. Highly recommend visiting!

Great day out at the zoo, didn't have enough time to complete it though I stayed from opening till closing. Good variety of Australian and international animals. A lot more (bird) species than what's stated in the map. Quokka at farm area was a pleasant surprise. Free flight bird show was fun! Zoo is on a hill so required more effort walking than I had anticipated
