Had such a wonderful experience at Taronga Zoo Sydney! The place was clean, well-organized, and perfect for families. The staff were friendly and very helpful, making the visit even more enjoyable. The animal exhibits were amazing and well cared for, and the view overlooking Sydney Harbour was absolutely breathtaking. It was both fun and educational for the kids and adults alike. A beautiful place to spend quality time with family, relax, and create unforgettable memories. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in Sydney! 🦒🐨🦘

It is one of the best zoo that we visited so far. Kids and adults enjoyed the place, shows were amazing. Follow the map with green circles and you will be able to cover the entire zoo. It is huge with more than 3000 species so it will be helpful to follow the map which also have details about the shows. Start early morning, since we prebooked with headout we were able to directly enter in to the zoo and did not had to wait in the ticket counter queue which was long due to school break.

We went up the Sydney tower eye at sunset, we were unsure how easy the process would be given it's third party status, but the tickets were indeed official and the check in for the experience was super easy, we were given instructions, and the tickets were emailed instantly.
