I live in Scottsdale Arizona and as an artist, I visit zoos whenever we travel. Today we visited Sydney’s Tarango zoo. I usually have a love/hate relationship with zoos as I need to see the animals in order to draw them, but I want their enclosures to be very roomy. This zoo delivered both! Absolutely beautiful grounds and wonderful enclosures. I could see the animals well enough to draw most of them. The whole pride of lions were out sleeping though, but they all looked so healthy and beautiful! Nice place for a snack too. Thank you Sydney for a wonderful experience at your zoo.

We've watched the Taronga Zoo show for a couple of years. This was our first stop in Sydney and it did not disappoint. Beautiful zoo with incredible views. The animals have incredible habitat enclosures - especially the elephants and tigers. Lots of animal variety and some great animal experiences are available.

I came here during the day because my flight back was at night.
I think it took about 10 minutes by ferry from Circular Quay to the opposite shore.
We arrived quickly. The zoo entrance is on top of a mountain, so it's convenient to take a bus, and there seems to be a cable car a short walk away.
On the way from Circular Quay to the zoo, I struggled to get a slightly cheaper ticket with a 2D barcode, but for some reason the usual image authentication (selecting car, bicycle, traffic light, etc.) didn't work, so I ended up buying a more expensive regular ticket at the counter.
At the giraffe area, you can take good photos with the city on the opposite shore in the background. The behavioral exhibits, including animals that only exist in Australia, are nice. There were not many kangaroos.
There was one shop selling ice cream and drinks in the center, and maybe a restaurant. I recommend bringing your own drinks.
I bought some souvenirs and returned by bus and ferry.

I was told by many people when I told people that I was visiting Sydney that the one stop you must go to is taronga Park zoo I was very disappointed in the Zoo. The animals looked very healthy and they delighted the children and everybody who looked at them. I thought the social show was very entertaining and informative and also the bird flying, but some places in cages you went to they were empty. No platypus, No lions. really not many animals.
As I was waiting in the queue to go into a show, I heard people over talking about the same thing. The gorillas is like nobody could find the gorillas. We understand that they sleep and they go in the habitat, But we've looked in the habitat where they sleep and where they they go to pass each other into the other yards. There was nothing. No animals but suddenly at 3:pm they all appeared. It was if anything just a average zoo. Nothing to write home about. Nothing to tell people what a great experience I had there. I will be telling my overseas visitors not to go there. I would not recommend it.
Disappointed.
I told my host about my experience while staying in Sydney and he said the same thing. Yeah other people come back and said to me. J it's just a average zoo they spent millions and millions on it. What have they achieved?

Taronga Zoo was fantastic! Loved seeing native Australian animals up close, and the views of the harbor from the zoo were unbeatable.

A really good experience in company of a 5 year old.
I wrote adversely of my experience four years ago.
This recent visit upgrades of many areas and better interaction and information made it a fun and informative day.

It’s definitely one of better zoo’s I’ve seen.
To get here we took a ferry from circular quay. It cost 6 dollars each for memory one way. They seemed to leave every 20-30 minutes.
The zoo itself is quite extensive and featured animal sections from Australia and internationally. It covered most animals you would expect to see in a standard zoo. Its location on the harbour also afforded some spectacular views back towards Sydney. To see it all I would recommend doing this as a whole day activity.
Drinks and food were available at various parts in the park.
Animals seemed to all be treated very well and there was an emphasis on conservation efforts with a lot of them.
A lot of the information boards seemed to be aimed more towards a paediatric audience.
Would recommend.
