Everything you should know before you book
Sydney is the easiest place in Australia to meet the local wildlife. Taronga Zoo sits on a harbourside hill with koalas, kangaroos, and one of the best zoo views anywhere — reached by a scenic ferry from Circular Quay. The Darling Harbour pair, SEA LIFE Aquarium and WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo, are indoor, all-weather, and walkable from the CBD.
Take the ferry to Taronga and ride the cable car or bus up, then walk down through the exhibits. For wild rather than enclosed animals, the wombat-and-kangaroo and wildlife day trips head out of the city to bushland sanctuaries. Darling Harbour's aquarium and zoo are best on a weekday morning before school groups arrive.
Frequently asked questions
Taronga Zoo or WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo?
Taronga is the full-scale harbourside zoo with a ferry trip and big enclosures; WILD LIFE at Darling Harbour is compact, indoor, and great in bad weather or with limited time.
How do I get to Taronga Zoo?
The classic route is the ferry from Circular Quay to Taronga Wharf, then the cable car or bus to the top entrance and a downhill walk through the exhibits.
Can I see wild kangaroos and wombats near Sydney?
Yes — the wildlife day trips run out to bushland sanctuaries where you can see wombats and kangaroos outside enclosures, returning the same day.
