Trip Moments Recommendations

Last visited 28 December 2022 so thought I'd share a review on here. Fabulous zoo!! Far better than any zoo's in NZ. Cost is only NZ$50 (or about AU$44) and that included the gondola. Return ferry to Circular Quay - public transport is dirt cheap (Opal) compared with NZ. Bird and Seal Show is wonderful. Though the seal show line is super long, we still managed to get a seat for the first time at the front. It'll be great if this zoo could order heaps of size L t-shirts for men and a variety especially for the summer holidays. Good thing we visited before they closed the gondola for renovations. Weather was beautiful. A day trip well worth it. We'll be back in Syd end of this year (late December) for a solid 2 weeks. With plans to visit the Gold Coast for the 1st time, end of next year (end of 2024)... AL from New Zealand.#familytravel #mytripvlog

Amazing Day spent at 📍Taronga Zoo Sydney📍

#2023travelwish One of the best zoo’s I’ve visited over the years! The timing of our trip was perfect! When a koala bear sleeps 20 hours a day, how lucky can you get when you can see the Koala climbing the tree. I’m additional, all of the animals were lively and actively moving around in their environment. The animal exhibits were very close, making it easier to see the animals. If you make the trip, take the bus to the zoo and return back to the city via ferry for the scenic views of the bridge and opera house. #2023travelwish #tripblazers #beachlife #mytripvlog #campingglamping #urbanexplorer #summervacation

Taronga Zoo

Great day at the zoo without being at home. Lots to see and extremely interesting live shows. Recommend downloading the app to plan what time the shots are on. We took the bus from the city as it stops at the main entrance at the highest point of the zoo and made our way slowly downhill to the ferry. Saved our energy for the walk around the zoo. #passionpassport

the best zoo ever

honestly hands down the best zoo I’ve ever been to. there was so much to see and do and it was a fun filled day out. they have some incredible animals that you wouldn’t see in other zoos in the UK like kangaroos, pelicans, camels and even elephants. it was definitely worth going they put on some shows like the free flight show which was some exotic birds flying over the crowds and doing a routine and they also had a show with the seals they are such clever animals memorising a routine and executing the stunts perfectly. they also had some 5-10 minutes shows where they would feed the animals and tell us some facts it was very interesting cannot Recommend Taronga Zoo enough #travelling #tarongazoo

Must Do Taronga Zoo

#winhkflight Taronga Zoo is a must do on a visit to Sydney. There is something for all ages to enjoy at the zoo. The short ferry trip from Circular Quay allows you fabulous views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House. The zoo is very well maintained, and the animal shows ,talks, and encounters are both educational and engaging. The city skyline and views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge are spectacular and a great opportunity for fabulous photos

Taronga zoo Sydney

We spent approximately 2 hours here, leisurely walking around and observing most, if not all, of the animals. The park is well-equipped with plenty of trees and seating areas, which was particularly appreciated given the 25-degree Celsius temperature and sunny weather. Instead of taking the bus, we opted for the short 4-minute walk up the hill to the south entrance. Upon arrival, we found steps and escalators to the right for easy access. The entrance fee is around AU$50, which may seem steep, but considering the vast array of attractions, it's justified. Families with children shouldn't miss the petting zoo, where they can interact with adorable alpacas and goats.#tarongazoo #Sydney #Australia

Taronga Zoo Sydney

#sydneytrip Had a great time. Excellent views of most of the animals. Lots of walking though, which wouldn't be a problem except the whole zoo is built onto a hillside, so it's best to make a plan to see all the animals you want so you don't have to climb up and down too often. Also the day we went was extremely hot (almost 40 degrees celcius) and there wasn't enough shaded viewing areas for a lot of the animal enclosures. Best to assign a whole day if you want to see all the animals (and spend a few minutes to view them), we only had about 4 hours so we only viewed the animals we really wanted. I recommend a keeper tour. We didn't go on one (not enough time) but we were at a few exhibits when the tour came and the keeper was interesting and informative and answered our questions as well. I recommend taking the public ferry from circular quay as they arrive very regularly, and also catching the bus from the ferry terminal to the top gate (it was only $1 per person when we went and saves you from hiking up the zoo from the bottom entrance). The first bus was crowded though, but it seemed like there were regular services.

Taronga Zoo Sydney

#sydneytrip We had an amazing experience at this zoo in Sydney, which we consider the best ever. The variety of animals is impressive. The koala area is a must-see, and the well-designed layout offers different sections for animal viewing, along with beautiful skyline views of the city. It's highly recommended, especially for families with kids. We spent six hours exploring everything, including fantastic bird and seal shows, and the zoo also provides stunning views of Sydney Harbour. On-site parking is plentiful, and the spacious, modern animal enclosures are in excellent condition. A must-visit for anyone in Sydney for a few days.

Serenity of Sydney 🇦🇺🐨🦘

What comes to your mind when you hear the word Sydney? I bet you will say the Opera house, harbour bridge, Bondi beach 🏖️ and so on. Might say kangaroos 🦘 and koalas 🐨. You can see the kangaroos and koalas at Taronga zoo. Did you know that buying your ticket online is cheaper than buying it onsite. So, if you want to save some dollars 💸, you could book it with Trip.com #freehotelstay #tripmoments #Sydney #australia

Beautiful Zoo in Sydney

#sydneytrip A super big zoo that has a lot of animals you can see hope the map and path can be better so it won’t be confusing where to go first and keep walking backwards for another small path. Recommended to start at the upper hill at the front entrance, you can take a bus after getting off the ferry and walk your way down the hill to the lower exit and take the ferry back to the circular quay. It used to have a cable car that could bring you to the upper entrance, but it is retired and renewing and seem to reopen in 2025. Spent around 4-5 hours or maybe.Got snack bars and restaurants around and also drink stores for refreshments. I think it is worth to come again spending a day here.

A day in taronga Zoo, starting point: back entrance.

It is a convenient and unforgettable trip, well at least for me, because I went there on my birthday and another plus point is I have to pay only 1$ for the tickets because of that. We take the trip from Circular quay wharf, it was around 15 minute rides and the views is super amazing. I mean I got to see Sydney opera house and took a nice photo. Arriving at the zoo was a little hectic because there were a lot of people who heading to the same place, nevertheless when we got in we got to explore and saw many animals native to Australia like kangaroo, platypus and koala. The highlights for the zoo got to be their show. It was entertaining and educational. By the time we got back we got the see the sunset while riding the ferry so another plus. #tarongazoo #sydneytravel #birthdaytrip #animals

A must visit Zoo that I thought I’d only be seeing in National Geographic. #nature #animalwildlife

Taronga zoo with friends

the most iconic zoos in the world. The location on the harbour is second to none and the ferry trip and skyway up to the main entrance makes a great start to the day. The animals and exhibits are very well presented and we spent a whole day walking around this wonderful place. A must do for kids of all ages! #wintergetaway #wintergetaway

The Sydney Taronga Zoo, built on the northern shore of Sydney Harbour, has a history of 100 years and is arguably the most beautiful city zoo in the world. The happiest part of the park is the giraffe, which looks up to the invincible seascape and the three landmarks of Sydney. Here, you can take a close-up photo with the koala of the germination, kangaroos, platypus, acupuncture and other representative Australian animals, as well as sea lion performances and various high-altitude rope climbing projects. It is enough for a whole day. !

I want to come to Sydney. I really love nature. On the other side of the Sydney Opera House, I can't find the Sydney Bay. I think it should be a land of feng shui, and I built a zoo called Taronga Zoo. As a zoo, Taronga has its own uniqueness compared to the world's best-selling overseas counterparts - Australia's national treasure koala and kangaroo are the star babies here. Koala is also called koala, this fat and cute guy has nothing to do with the bear, but belongs to the bag. The name of Koala Koala comes from the native Australian native language, meaning "no drink", "do not drink water" - yes, this is the legendary koala that does not drink water all the time, because koala The staple food rakes the leaves, and the water they need is almost all obtained from the eucalyptus leaves. The other star of the zoo is naturally the kangaroo that is regarded as the representative of Australia...but the "rare" and the kangaroo are absolutely unhookable. This kind of huge force is also able to fight boxing guys in Australia. The number is said to be twice that of humans... Its always a bit strange to see kangaroos after eating kangaroo meat. The kangaroos in the zoo are all a lazy look, just squinting in the sun in their own park, and the ears don't smell the window. Talonga also has a net red scene that is a giraffe looking at the Opera House. The Giraffe family lives under a small slope not far from the zoo gate, diagonally opposite the Sydney Opera House.

I think we all had the same wish when we were young: when we were on Children's Day, we could go to the zoo. It is a pity that when I was a child, because of my busy work, my parents did not go to the zoo once in my childhood. Finally, this wish was realized in the university. I went to the zoo for the first time on Children's Day, but the day when I was filled with children who came and went, I realized that I had grown up. But I also like to go to the zoo in every country, just like I am still looking forward to the trip to the Taronga Zoo, because I have not seen the koala so cute animal. The zoo that comes here, what to watch, there are unique animals in Australia. This means that in other countries' zoos, there is no chance to see these lovely animals. In this zoo, we are in close contact with Australian wildlife, taking photos with the cute koala and watching the wonderful bird show. The Talonga Zoo is located next to the beautiful bay, filled with exotic wildlife, and we can stroll through the lush jungle or take the cable car to soar in the sky. Australia This land is home to many ancient creatures, and the best place to see ancient and rare animals is the Taronga Zoo. If we meet the koala here, then the must-do is to take a photo with Koala. Accompanied by a professional tour guide, we conducted a 90-minute tour. Of course, the most interesting thing is that we met the koala and could take a close-up photo with the koala. The koala saw us holding a tree shyly, but it was not afraid to escape. After all, it is a very lazy koala. Kollat doesn't like to sleep. They spend most of their time in sleep, so when I approach it, it may be sleeping in the United States and America, and I haven't woken up yet.
