5.00Loved 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

3.00The 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

5.00Visiting 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.

5.00The views over Sydney from all over tbe zoo are amazing. The habitats for the animals are large and well maintai ed just be aware that Viator is in USD not AUS even in Aus. This was misleading and had we known, we would have booked directly with Tarongo Zoo
Stunning views

4.00This zoo has amazing views. So sad to no longer see elephants. The people at the ticket office weren’t overly friendly. Overall a great day out.

More Volunteers than Animals

1.00This place is going down hill fast . For instance they have built a new reptile house with about a quarter of the reptiles in there - not telling me reptiles don't do well in captivity . The lonely Koala was enough for me . More souvenir shops selling Chinese crap and cafeterias yet they preach about plastic waste - go woke go broke . Much much better 30 years ago - avoid only animal thats loves the place is the cash cows. More plastic animals than actual animals !
Very disappointed - 2/10 at max.

1.00The worst zoo I’ve ever visited - surprised how awful it was. I have been to zoo’s all over the world and the reputation of Taronga was high. Very disappointed sadly.
Don’t waste your money.

1.00Don’t waste your money. A lot of empty exhibits. Not worth your time or money or energy. I wish it was a better experience.
