The experience
A harbourside zoo with more than 350 species and its own skyline views.
General entry to Taronga Zoo, home to more than 350 species across ten themed zones on Sydney Harbour’s northern shore, with daily keeper talks and free seal and bird shows included.
The ferry crossing from Circular Quay is part of the experience in its own right, and the zoo’s hillside setting means several enclosures look straight back across the harbour to the city skyline.
