5.00This was such a great day! Just a short ferry ride from Sydney, and the zoo was so fun. I normally am not a zoo person. The shows, the animals so cool. Kangaroos, red panda bears, panda bears, Tasmanian devils and more. The zoo was clean and well kept. Just a FYI on Friday, Saturday and Sunday you can use the train bus and ferry system in Sydney for $9.65 American dollars so it’s actually less. .71 cents on the dollar while we were there. You just tap your visa and it maxes it out at $9.65 on these days. This is such a great value to do all the bays and take a bus or train to where you need to go.

5.00A great day out. The zoo has so much to see and do. The ferry across was really simple and added to the day, you can choose when you want to sail. I got the bus up to the top of the hill for the Zoo, and then worked my way down hill (definitely worth it). The views across to Sydney are awesome.
Wonderful experience

5.00The Zoo was amazing, I was there all day. Had so much fun, there was always something else to see. The Keeper Talks are a must. The ferry was a smooth experience and easy to navigate. Didn’t need to pay any additional cost at the Wharf or the Zoo, didn’t need to worry about anything.
Fab day at the Zoo
