Every aspect of our visit was excellent. There is clearly an emphasis on natural habitats and a commendable slant towards conservation. The highlights were watching the elephants having their morni… Full review by KandTCanberra

This place was so awesome. We saw so many animals that you would never see anywhere else in the world. We saw koalas, snakes, lizards, bears, tigers, crocodiles, platypus, dingos, meerkats, kangaroos… Full review by Robkerr67

Zoo itself was fine. Elephants seemed SAD, must fix: NOW! Elephants are beautiful creatures who deserve happiness and good vibes, which were clearly missing. The “brekkie” wrap at the cafe was DIS… Full review by Damion H
How do you book animal encounters & find times for the various animal talks & shows? I couldn’t find any precise info on their website.
A:
There was a small shop just next to the are where they have the section for koalas. That ix where we made the reservation. Actually you can ask any of the zoo personel that you meet.

Hi, animal encounters can only be booked on the day. I believe it’s a first come, first served basis. The animal talks and shows run every half an hour or so, you can collect a map on your way in which shows all the times on there. If you want to see the seal show I suggest lining up half an hour before the show so you don’t miss out as there’s limited seating.
We are flying into Sydney's international airport and staying at the Wildlife retreat Taronga. Is it possible to take public transportation from the airport to the Taronga zoo ?
A:
Yes, public transport is actually the fastest way to the Zoo. First just catch a Public Train from the Airport to Circular Quay. Then just find the Taronga Zoo Wharf for a 12 minute Public …
Yes, public transport is actually the fastest way to the Zoo. First just catch a Public Train from the Airport to Circular Quay. Then just find the Taronga Zoo Wharf for a 12 minute Public Ferry ride direct to the Zoo.
Whats it like during these covid times im guessing no animal encounters? I read on their site they are still doing the bird show with reduced capacity but what about the seal show?
A:

I always like to be positive, particularly about Taronga Zoo as I have been there many times over the years. But my opinion the zoo barely meets a good standard. There is much construction which precludes seeing much of the Savannah enclosures, refreshments/food very hard to get too, one entrance only (top only). So, through no fault of the zoo I think during COVID times I would go elsewhere. Perhaps when some of the restrictions that impact are lifted it would be worth it.... Sorry about that but the zoo is impacted in a big way but only my viewpoint.
Most unlikely. Most zoos won’t allow hugging/holding. This zoo does have a ‘close encounter’ experience and more information can be found at the Taronga Zoo website under animal …
