Taronga Park Zoo is the nation's leading zoological garden, featuring Australia's finest collection of native animals and diverse collection of exotic species. This excellent Zoo does not restrict itselves to native animals like kangaroos and koalas, but most visitors will probably focus on the Australian fauna anyway.
We visited the Taronga Zoo on our second visit to Sydney. During our travels along the East coast we had encountered several native animals so our interest went out to the rest of the Zoo population. To make a decision like this is very important. Taronga is quite large and and extensive tour of each section is more than a day's worth of adventure. It has over 340 species and well over 2600 individual animals. So, we decided to visit thrilling places like the Giraffe House, the Aquarium and the Tiger Pits.

 Amazing view from the Zoo at
the skyline of Sydney by Jerelis, 1 more photos
What makes Taronga Park something really special is its location at Bradley's Head, Mossman. The Zoo is located at elevated land along the waterfront, in one of the most beautiful vantage points on the Sydney Harbour. We zigzagged our way up along the paths among the animal enclosures and we were able to enjoy magnificent harbour views.

 Sydney Harbour by Kate-Me
This is Sydney's Taronga Park Zoo, with its beautiful harbour backdrop to many of the animal enclosures.
A very nice zoo, set high on a hill
A nice easy way to get there is to take the Ferry from Sydney Harbour Leave a Comment

The Sydney Aquarium is one of the largest and most spectacular Aquariums in the world. Sydney Aquarium is renowned for its unique display of Australian aquatic life.
Walk through tunnels beneath the sea and get close to the largest sharks you'll ever see. Enjoy the colour and the magic of live coral and myriads of tropical fish in the Great Barrier Reef display (see picture).
Directions: The Sydney Aquarium Aquarium Pier

The Taronga Zoo, the zoo with the views!!! You will not be able to see kangaroos in the streets of Sydney, but you can see them just 12 minutes from the city by ferry in the best place to see Australian's amazing wildlife. The Taronga Zoo features a large selection of Australian fauna plus animals around the word. There's so much to see, you should allow most of a day to cover it all. Highlights include the seals, snow leopards, primates and endangered western lowland gorillas. Native animals too, are strongly - and sometimes impressively - represented. Only I was a little disappointed that most (dangerous) animals are behind glass walls, making photography difficult. That's the big different between the old Zoo of Antwerp and the modern Taronga Zoo. At various times the Zoo runs talks or shows on various aspects of the Zoo and the residents (not the human kind) show off their stuff.

ANOTHER NICE THING TO SEE WHILE YOUR IN SYDNEY IS TARONGA ZOO.
ITS A ZOO IN A LOVELY LOCATION LOOKING OUT OVER THE CITY...THOSE LUCKY ANIMALS ARE LIVING ON SOME OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE LAND IN AUSTRALIA !!!
WE TOOK THE FERRY FROM CIRCULAR QUAY ON THE SHORT 15 MIN TRIP OVER TO THE ZOO.
WHEN WE GOT OFF THE FERRY WE WHERE BUSSED UP TO THE MAIN ENTERANCE BUT YOU CAN ALSO GET THE CABLE CAR UP, BUT WE WHERE THERE AT 9AM AND THE CABLE CAR DOES NOT START TO 9.30 AM. YOU CAN ALSO GET A BUS TO THE ZOO FROM THE CITY AT WYNYARD BUS STATION. AND DEPART AGAIN FROM THE ZOO ENTRANCE.
THE ZOO HAS A LOVELY OLD ENTRANCE AND THE WHOLE PLACE HAS A REALLY GOOD FEEL ABOUT IT, THE STAFF ARE REALLY FRIENDLY AND ARE ALWAYS ON HAND TO POINT YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION OR TELL YOU WHAT THE LATEST INFO IS, LIKE THE DAILY SHOWS AND KEEPER TALKS.
ONCE INSIDE THE ZOO YOU ARE FREE TO RIDE THE CABLE CAR WHICH GIVES YOU A LOVELY VIEW OVER THE ZOO PLUS CRACKING VIEWS OUT OVER THE CITY.
THE CABLE CAR IS A GOOD WAY OF SEEING THE LAYOUT OF THE ZOO PLUS PINPOINTING THINGS YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK AT CLOSER LATER.
THE ANIMALS AT THIS ZOO ARE WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND THIS SHOWS IN THE FACT THAT LOOK HAPPY AND HEALTHY. WE HAD A GREAT DAY AT TARONGA AND THINK IT IS A LOVELY WAY TO SPEND A FEW HOURS WHILE YOUR IN SYDNEY.

ZOO IS OPEN FROM 9AM TO 5PM Directions: TAKE FERRY FROM CIRCULAR QUAY. OR BUS FROM WYNYARD BUS STATION.Website: www.zoo.nsw.gov.au

This small zoo on Darling Harbor was quite a surprise. Given its size and location, I was not expecting much out of this place but a tourist trap with a few kangaroo exhibits. In fact, it's a very nice little zoo with a wide range of Australian wildlife.. Leave a Comment
