A famous Zoo - sadly losing its appeal
X9561VLanne,May 2, 2026

3.00Every time I am in Sydney, I go to the Taronga Zoo. I have been doing that since 1988. I have just returned from my 22nd trip to Sydney, and the same number of times to the Zoo. The variety of animals, used to make the day out there, a wonderful experience. That is no longer the case. Many of the large animals are no longer there. They have been moved to other Zoos. The group of delightful Meerkats, was down to 3. They looked completely lost in their enclosure. One of the big attractions, was the Bird Show. That has changed a lot and is not the exciting show it was. Even the numerous staff who were always around to help you negotiate the enormous site, were noticeable by their absence Yes, the beautiful view of the City is still the same, but overall, the Zoo has lost a lot of its charm and excitement. I was disappointed this time. My friends who live in Sydney, told me I would be. I didn't expect to be, but I was. Normally I thought nothing of the entry cost because a full day spent at the Zoo, was worth it. This time I was only there for 3 hours. If you are thinking of a trip there with a family, it will be quite expensive now. If you have never been before, the overall experience, will still be enjoyable. If you have been before, and are returning to capture the wonderful past experience, it is sadly not the same at all.
Great zoo, great morning activity

5.00It is a beautiful zoo. Definitely worth a visit. Animal habitats are all planned and cared for. Zoo keepers give great talks.You need a full day. You can arrive by Uber and then leave by the ferry. When you purchase general ticket just go in and show your pass.
All in all, it was a fun experience

5.00We treated our 12-year-old grandson to a day at Taronga Zoo for his birthday. He loved finding the different animals, and being out to tour guide and following the map. Great map we loved it! The restaurant area could do with a bit of renovation.

3.00Hopefully you get a driver/ tour person who speaks clearly. We had a really nice driver but I only understood about 1/3 of his conversations because of his accent . That was disappointing.
Must visit!

5.00The Sydney zoo is a must visit. The views from the zoo are stunning. They have a great array of animals. The view that the giraffes have is out of this world!
A brilliant family day out!!

5.00Brilliant zoo! So much to see and can definitely make a full day of it here! The nocturnal animals and booking the koala experience were our favourites! Lots of lovely shade as you walk around, we went on a Sunday and it wasn’t too busy, other than the food hall which was both busy and very warm.
