You still have to pay like$1.00 to take a bus ride to the main entrance or walk up an incline hill to get there.

Ferry ride and Taronga Zoo

Great ferry ride to Taronga Zoo and exploring the zoo. The zoo is on a hill, so lots of up and down walking. Great experience seeing the zoo animals. Nice views of Sydney city from the roof of the ferry.

Family trip to the zoo.

My family had a lovely day at the zoo. It was unfortunate that a lot of animals were not on view the day day we were there. Nevertheless we enjoyed the time we spent there and the Australian animals we saw.
