First off, you start with a leisure ferry ride across the harbour, to get to the zoo. Once there, you have the option of taking a sky-ride to work your way from one end to the other, or just taking your time to see it all with some good old fashion walking. Because the zoo is set up on an island all its own, there is so much to see and explore. ...
As a person who has taken several trips just to see different zoos, the Taronga Zoo was a required stop while I was in Sydney on my honeymoon and is now my all-time favorite. (In fact, in my humble opinion, the best view of Sydney Harbor is the breathtaking vista provided at the zoo's bird show amphitheater.) The park is basically on a hill, ...

A good day out!
By Khushee, 09/06/05
Taronga Park Zoo is more than just a zoo. Sure, you get to see the animals, and the wildlife, and all that. It's very educational, not only for the little ones, but for adults as well. They have some wonderful shows as such the Bird Show which is absolutely amazing. The Seal Show is also quite a good catch.
Taronga Park has many many ...

The Komodo Dragon...
By Kaze, 02/17/06
... hadn't moved from 1999 to 2005 -- but he's a fun reptile to look at anyway and the only one I've ever seen. When I went in 2005, the gondola ride to the top of the zoo was under corporate sponsorship (and therefore free!). The zoo has a couple of fantastic spots overlooking the harbor where you can see the opera house and the ...

Best view in the world!

Animals are allowed more freedom than in any other zoo I've visited. The giraffes have the best view in the world!

Koalas
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/01/05
It was great being able to get close to the koalas and the giraffes. We were actually able to feed carrots to the giraffes. The boat and tram ride to get there from the harbour were excellent.

zoo fun
By swebb182, 02/21/07
This zoo was very cool, loved going on the ferry over to the island the zoo is on. We bought the package deal for the ferry, the zoo, and the sky tram at the ferry terminal and it was worth it. Fun animal shows, lots to see. My only complaint was that it closes too early, it should stay open longer especially in summer. Just have to get there early I guess.

THE BEST I'VE EVER SEEN
By leslieralph, 01/10/07
I have visited Sydney for the last 5 years.
I have taken so many pictures. I so enjoyed the Taronga Zoo. I have never seen such beautiful land and so many animals that I have never seen.
Sydney I'm sure is so proud to have this Zoo and many many more fabulous sites to visit. I intend on returning and returning. I love Sydney ...
