One of the best zoos I’ve visited

I love taking the ferry like a local and seeing Sydney from the harbour whilst visiting Tauranga zoo would really recommend that you wear good walking shoes as the zoo is a bit hilly and comfortable clothing. Definitely make time to see the Berteau. Highly recommend it.
Great Zoo!

Great zoo. Very easy to get from Sydney. About a $2 ferry ticket (just tap on and off) from Circular Quay. I recommend taking the additional city transport bus from the ferry station at the zoo up to the top. That way when you explore the zoo it’s all downhill and you end at the ferry station again. It is possible to start from the ferry station and work your way up but it is a pretty significant climb. Many different animal exhibits including many animals native to Australia and the Oceania region. They have a ropes course and some other add-on experiences I did not try. Overall it is well worth the money. Budget anywhere from 1.5-3 hours to walk to zoo without any add on experiences.
A Total Rip Off

A total rip off. Most cages were empty of just a single lonely animal inside. Only 1 koala in the Koala House. No food in the canteens by 2 pm. Unfriendly staff and hundreds of them. Definitely a waste of money and embarrassing to take our overseas guests
Nice day out!

We bought our Captain Cook ferry and Taronga Zoo combo tickets on Tripadvisor the morning of our trip. We took the cheap light rail train from our hotel in Chinatown to Circular Quay and traded in our ticket for ferry and zoo admission tickets. Caught the next ferry which went directly to the zoo pier. When you get off the pier take a free city bus or a free zoo bus to the top of the zoo entrance. That way you will mostly be walking downhill as you explore the zoo. Since we are zoo people we spent most of the day looking at animals from Australia. When we entered we asked a zoo volunteer the best places to see koalas and platypus. He said there are only two mating koalas in the exhibit to the right of the main entrance. He said to watch more koalas go to Koala Country. There were a lot of koalas in trees and in areas were guests can get a quick close encounter for $A15. For platypus he said to go to the Nocturnal Country. There is one platypus in a large pool that is very active. Volunteer said to get down by the glass and he will swim by. The other platypus is in an outdoor area which is very hard to find. We did stop for the Seals for the Wild show and had lunch at the Taronga Food Market. We did look at some other animals along the way.
Dreadful experience

Zoo very poor run down. All the animals asleep. All eating place's closed. Why take booking at 2pm when all closed at 3pm. Deceitful. What a waste of money and time. Never again 🤢

What a great day we had at the zoo. We managed to get to a lot of the "shows" and thoroughly enjoyed the sealion show and the free flight bird show was stunning. As an aside there were also great views of the city. The animal keepers were so proud to tell about their animals. A great day - not to be missed

Visited the zoo back in October. Purchased some mementos. One being a kids cup for my 4yr old. Quality terrible - all the graphics came off within 3 weeks. Reached out. Got an apology and a ‘we will send you another’. Never did. They just lie to you. Shame.
Nice and well arranged

Nice and well organized. Nice that you went in to the animals in some places! Negative, as is so often the case - small areas for the animals and not so interesting to spend your whole life on. At least not concrete and steel cages
