Taronga Zoo
Zoo with a view
Accessible by ferry from Circular Quay and armed with spectacular harbour and city skyline views, Taronga Zoo offers impressive habitats and an emphasis on welfare and conservation.
Residents include a who’s who of Aussie critters, from elusive platypuses to infamous cassowaries. It’s an interactive place, with daily encounters, feedings, optional experiences include a high-ropes course and seasonal events like its summertime twilight concert series. The zoo even offers an overnight Roar and Snore package with safari-style accommodation onsite.
