Tremendous view back to the city skyline. The seal show was really good and we enjoyed the bird show too. I appreciated that there were strong messages about how to help (eg use less water) the envir… Full review by Elaine W

Deplorable experience, charged me twice on the website for our tickets, took three weeks and four staff members for them to agree it was an issue. NOW they have told us we have to wait 5-6 weeks for… Full review by Pauline D

The zoo itself is very pretty and the location is beautiful. There were not many animals, but the ones that we did see seemed to be well cared for. A word of advice- bring your own food and drinks. T… Full review by Mobile54914692327
How do you book animal encounters & find times for the various animal talks & shows? I couldn’t find any precise info on their website.

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 …

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 …
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 …
