The zoo is conveniently located. I like the dolphin show the most. It is very cute. The new amphibians have air conditioning, which is very comfortable in the hot summer.

Taronga Zoo is an amazing place for animal enthusiasts! The views of Sydney Harbour are stunning, and the zoo features a wide variety of animals, including lions, kangaroos, and tigers, among others. The enclosures are thoughtfully designed, ensuring an enjoyable experience for both guests and the animals. It’s the ideal day out for us!

A huge zoo with so many animals to see. The enclosures were all spacious and the animals looked content. A great cloudy day activity, especially as the cooler weather meant the animals were more active.
