Sydney Zoo
The zoo is super big, many of the animals are loose, it is not possible to get close to them.

Discover Taronga
Everything was amazing but I especially liked feeding the giraffes. It cost extra after we arrived and the experience was short but it was worth it.

Good way to see Australian critters
Nice view of harbor. Good variety of animals in semi-natural habitat. The animals native to Australia are spectacular.

Lovely zoo. You get to...
Lovely zoo. You get to hang with the emus, wallaby’s and kangaroos. The seals were wildly entertaining. Ferry ride had gorgeous views of the harbor.
