Whilst not the cheapest thing to do ( at around 32 $ per adult) it is the most spectacular location for a zoo and there are certainly plenty of animals to look at and you will get a lot of exercise walking around. I've been to the zoo many times but had never been to a bird show ( which is fantastic & very hands on) which I would definitely recommend. Now that the elephants are there it would be worth going as their enclosure alone was quite a sight. The new aquarium enclosure will be wonderful when finished, but if merecats, pigmy hippos, lions & leopard pups don't excite you then nothing will!! If you're a zooo lover - try a tax deductable zoo friends sponsorship which allows free entry for two people for an entire year and you actually know that you are helping to feed whichever kind of animal it is you love , i.e. spider monkey!

This is a wildlife park where you can get up close and personal with native australian animals. You can feed a kangaroo or an emu, you can see koalas up close, it's a nice place to see the natives if you don't have enough time to get out into the wild - you might not see koalas in the wild anyway. The prices range from $9.50 for kids to $19 for adults. Seniors and student discounts apply if you show your card. The photo is from the Featherdale Wildlife Park webpage My 8 year old neice Superjessie says "There are lots of birds there. There was every type you could think of. There were also reptiles like snakes and lizards and there were spiders and frogs and platypuses."

Address: 217-229 Kildare Road, Doonside, NSW

Phone: (612) 9622 1644

Directions: Take the M4 from Sydney or a train from Central station, then a bus (the bus info is on the website).

From the outside, not much to look at. But we had a great time on the inside. My daughter and I were very much fascinated by the platypus -- platupuses -- platypi -- oh, whatever they are in multiple. They rock this world! Soon I will post some of the three billion pictures we took of the platy(pi?). But there was much more to see. One of the weirdest things was a huge ray. I can't even begin to describe the size of the thing and it was lying on the tube over our heads in the shark walk through. Very bizarre.

It is quite fun just to walk around and look at all the expnsive houses - and the beautiful small harbours and the nature of course. We had a picnic in Mosman and this black poodle wanted to eat my sandwich :)

Taronga Zoo has come a long way over the years from when I first saw it as a little girl. It's a nice days outing with much to see. Highlights include the seals, snow leopards, primates and endangered western lowland gorillas. Native animals too, are represented. All the Olympic mascots are there in real life. It is a lovely ferry ride over and a great view of the city looking back. Catch the ferry if you're coming from the opposite side of the harbour. Open 9am-5pm daily.

As far as animals go, Taronga doesn't have the widest variety I've seen, but the setting for the zoo is incredibly beautiful. You can take some beautiful photos of the bridge from here. Catch the ferry over and then take one of the buses up to the top. If you can afford it, take the chairlift. TIP: If you want to buy anything in the giftshop, make it first on your agenda otherwise you will have to trek back up the hill. Try to catch one of the seal shows because they are really cute. I saw Campbell, who was training and didn't want to jump off of the rock and into the water. Also, look out for the Fjordland penguins and the extra-long cow statue.
