Lots of attractions to choose from in the Darling Harbour area of Sydney central, but this very affordable attraction is a great choice. We chose the five attraction ticket (after 3, the additional attractions are free) available only on-line. Well, that's not exactly true, we had problems booking on line, so they honored the price over the phone, with an... More

Give it a miss and head to Taronga Zoo, Taronga is in an awesome location over looking the harbour and has all the same wildlife plus some.

Came here especially for the Koalas and Kangaroos, but there were more interesting animals. The talks were educative and fun! If you go solo better read the information provided for each animal, or time will fly quickly. The entrance ticket was pricy though.

i didnt realise this was a zoo as it is not as big or open as most others. Nevertheless it is amazing how much they put in such a small space. I am 24 and I found it so much fun and very informative. I would come again the next time I go to Sydney. Rex the crocodile was great... More

Sydney Zoo did a good job to put so much into such a small space. The location is fantastic and it is not a bad place to visit, if you are into Australian animals and you have kids. Price-wise, it is not cheap, but since we are in Sydney, we went for it. Our visit was quite quick, about 1... More

It was really fun and nice going to Wild Sydney. You could have your picture taken with the Koalas and view the Tasmanian Devils. They had a large croc in a tank that was pretty awesome to watch.

We really enjoyed visiting here! We got to see animals and other creatures (snakes, and bugs) that are native to Australia. I enjoyed seeing my first koala close up! I would definitely visit again!

This is one of Sydney's main Attractions and costs as you would expect to pay for a main Attraction. however, cheaper tickets can be bought on their official website www.wildlifesydney.com.au, esp if you dont mind going in the evening mid week; prices can drop as low as $26 for an Adult. You have the ability to buy an animal encounter... More

I'm not much of a zoo person...especially if they are sad, depressing unkempt zoos. But this Zoo is worth it. You get to see all the indigenous species of Australian animals and it's location is amazing with great views over the water.

This used to be my favourite place to take kids but it is half the size it used to be. They have taken half the zoo and turned it into Madame taussades and so a lot of the exhibits are gone or have been made much smaller. We were in and out in less than an hour and my daughter... More
