Bring hats and water bottles especially on hot days. There’s not a lot of shade in certain parts of the zoo and the Australian sun is unforgiving.

Charged way more than advertised price. Nothing was refunded when issue was raised with operator. Could not get any customer service before the event.
An amazing day at Taronga zoo!

We visited Taronga Zoo during our trip to Sydney and had the most incredible day. There are so many different animals to see that if you want to do it properly, you really do need hours — we were there pretty much the whole day and still felt like there was more to explore. One of the absolute highlights was the behind the rainforest experience with Taryn. It was advertised as a 15‑minute tour, but ours lasted nearly an hour and felt completely personalised. It ended up being a private tour of the learning centre, with different animals in each room, and Taryn was brilliant — incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate. She made the whole experience unforgettable. We also did the koala encounter, which was lovely for getting up close and taking photos. It is very quick (only about five minutes) and a bit pricey, but still a special moment if you’re a koala fan. The zoo itself is on the expensive side, but honestly, it’s worth it for a full day out. It’s also a non‑profit organisation, so the money you spend goes straight back into caring for the animals, conservation work, and protecting wildlife — which makes the cost feel even more worthwhile. There’s so much to do, the setting is beautiful, and it’s great for all ages. Even the cafés surprised us — they had good vegan options, which my mum was very happy about. Another bonus is the location — the zoo overlooks Sydney Harbour, so you can get some amazing photos with the water and skyline in the background. It really adds to the whole experience. Overall, Taronga Zoo is a fantastic day out for the whole family, and we’d absolutely recommend a visit!

A really nice zoo - perfect location and lots of animals to see. We loved chatting with the zoo keepers who all seemed so passionate about the work they do. I did go to see the pygmy hippo but it's enclosure was being renovated - so, it looks like I will need to return again soon :)
Loved the zoo, fun to see the animals, take the ferry for a fun way to get there.

Loved the zoo but dont go in the heat of the day as all the animals will be sleeping and while they are cute sleeping too, they are much more fun to see when active and running and playing.
A middle of the road zoo to visit if you have the time

The zoo was good plbut did seem to be in the progress of rentivating quite a few things, so it was a tad weird to navigate. I will also say this zoo is definitely not the most accessible zoo I've ever been to, if you have issues getting around you may run into issues due to the fact the zoo is all on a hill for the most part.
Fun zoo excursion

Visiting the Taronga Zoo was a fun experience. The exhibits were all well maintained and it is amazing how the zoo follows the natural topography of the hillside. We enjoyed seeing the animals and listening to the zookeepers presentations.
