What To Expect

Darling Harbour

This waterside pocket of Sydney has got it all; amazing entertainment, fascinating museums, incredible wildlife and delicious dining options right on the water plus a brand-new food precinct. Darling Harbour is a fantastic family-friendly destination right in the heart of Sydney that has something for everyone. Discover one of the tall ships at the Australian National Maritime Museum. If you’re looking for something less active and more zen, head to the Chinese Garden of Friendship which is a tranquil haven.

Circular Quay

This is the gateway to all the wonderful things that Sydney Harbour has to offer. Circular Quay in Sydney Cove is bordered by the Sydney Opera House and Royal Botanic Garden on one side and the Sydney Harbour Bridge on the other. It’s also the main ferry terminal in Sydney, making it easy to explore one of the world’s great natural harbours. Stroll along the western side of the busy transport hub to the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia and The Rocks, where the British colony began in 1788. On the other side of the quay, explore Sydney’s dark past at the Justice and Police Museum housed in a former colonial court and police station.

This is a sham, the website advertised several stops in the itinerary, when we went to redeem the tickets, we found out that Fantasia no longer operate any other stops than the zoo. Had I known that I would have booked with other companies. Misleading advertisement!!! don't book with them unless all you want to do is the zoo
Enjoyable Experience

We had a lovely time. Staff were very helpful at all locations. Food and beverage were reasonably priced. It was rather hit and the animals were taking it easy.
Very good zoo

Visited on a very hot day so not all animals were out but it was still a great experience. Having never been to Sydney, the ferry ride allowed us to see so much of the harbour.

Th is was an excellent zoo! We were able to see so many of the animals unique to Australia! Since childhood I had wanted to see a koala - had visited the San Diego Zoo the only US zoo with Koalas but they were inside a house and asleep - were disappointed! But at Taronga they were still asleep as they sleep 20 hours a day. But some were rousing and close enough to really see! I, Denise, have an intense snake phobia but was able to overcome it at Taronga and saw beautiful snakes and not run, scream or throw objects! They had animals from other continents as well!! Great time spent!!!

It’s a short bus ride to a place hemnomenal zoo. The walk around the zoo can be a bit hectic if you’re not In shape, but is generally manageable. Directions to get on the ferry were a bit Difficult but I managed to get It straight. Really fun trip.
