Taronga Zoo is not only a place where you can see a variety of animals, but also has an area where you can see marine life such as penguins and sea lions. Be careful not to get on the wrong boat operated by another company that departs at the same time to and from the zoo.

It is convenient to take the express boat. It is recommended to take the boat at Darling Harbor to enjoy more beautiful scenery. The zoo is not big, but the sparrow is small and has all the internal organs. It is worth a visit.
