Taronga Zoo
One of the most picturesque zoos going around, hands down. Animal enclosures with unreal Sydney Harbour views stacked right behind them, bridge and skyline included.
My experience & recommendations
- Don't skip the seal show, genuinely one of the best animal shows here, worth timing your visit around.
- There are 15+ keeper talks and presentations on through the day, worth timing your visit around a couple, not just the seal show.
- The harbour views are half the reason to go. You'll get postcard shots of the bridge and skyline from inside the zoo itself.
- Drive and park on site, or take the ferry from Circular Quay (about 12 minutes), the ferry ride there is a highlight on its own.
