1. What is there to do at WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo and what can you see?
WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo is a self-guided attraction, but talks, feeds and shows take place throughout the day.
In the zoo you can have the unforgettable opportunity to cuddle koalas, hand-feed kangaroos and come face to face with Tasmanian devils! If you dare, step into the Nightfall Habitat and discover some of the weird and wonderful creatures that only come out after dark, or explore the Gum Tree Valley habitat, you can meet two of the world’s deadliest snakes.
Make sure to look up at the eucalyptus trees to spot cute koalas!
If cuddly koalas are your favourite, go up the Koala Rooftop and take a photo with a cuddly koala! If you want an up-close encounter with kangaroos and wallabies, you can visit them at the Kangaroo Walk-About.
Tip: Make the most out of your day and see both cuddly koalas and marine animals such as sharks! Check out SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium just next door and have a full fun-filled day.

Sydney WILD LIFE Zoo Reviews
"Very much enjoyed the time with the family in hear getting up close and ability some of Australia’s wildlife. This zoo has a good feel and in parts feels a bit like a nature walk .Staff were all friendly and knowledgeable and didn’t hesitate to have a chat about the animals they cared for." - Nur
"Wild life in the city of Sydney is definitely recommended. The tickets bought from Klook allow us to enter directly." - Felix
"Easy to book and use just in front of it. Direct entry without getting the ticket is big plus! Make sure to book in advance to get further discount. (I booked for same day and the price wasn't the best.) Zoo itself is small but easy to reach from city, so suitable for short term travelers." - Soyeon
