Taronga Zoo? 100% Recommended!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 6/7/10
TARONGA ZOO ~ Worth every penny (or cent) !! A Beautiful Zoo but much more than~ some other reviewers have said this place is expensive ~ however I disagree as Taronga Zoo isnt just a zoo like others. It is a place where endangered species are helped and the Zoo also Rescue and bring back to health ~ Animals from all over the world!, most of the "Fees" charged goes into this vital programme. The animals live in huge enclosures and much thought goes into their keeping them healthy. The wellbeing of All the Animals, mammals and Sealife in Taronga Zoo is very important and I recommend the Zoo 100% to All

Torongo Zoo - Sydney
By cw, 8/29/09
This is one of the best zoos I have ever been too. Beautiful location and lovely enclosures for the animals. A trip to Sydney must include the zoo. Don't miss the elephants and the red panda!

I am a zoo friend and always love going
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 8/10/08
I know it is only temporary but lack of parking and having 4 zoo memberships still having to pay to pay to park.I have had memberships for 5 years I think I and other zoo friends should NOT have pay to park.

A favourite
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 1/12/08
I love going to Taronga Zoo. It is friendly and easy to navigate. I would definitely recommend going! It is definitely worth the money but I wouldn't buy any souveneirs or anything. Go for a whole day and explore all the sections and shows - you won't regret it!

will have to visit again with friends
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/30/07
Excellent arrangement to entertain and take rest in between visiting animals, adequate arrangement for food and visitors. Liked the sky safari, its wonderful. The best time to vicit would be beautiful sunny day with temperature of 20-24. Family with little kids will really enjoy the area as a day of outing. Oveall, it was an excellent day of outing.

nice but overrated and way overpriced
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/14/07
It's a nice Zoo - especially if you have kids. The ferry and cable car also makes it very spectacular. However 44AUD is a little expensive. Keep this in mind before you go.
