Great zoo, easy to park and off main highway. No trouble getting tickets. If going more than once in a year buy the annual pass.
Saturday was busy to get in but the park felt spacious and easy to walk around.
Weather was showers but with umbrella the animals were more active than I would otherwise have thought.
Great indoor reptile and shark/ aquarium enclosures. Closer views of koala than Taronga zoo. Overall great experience

Nice Zoo with all visable animals. The best parts are reptiles and aquarium. Taking photo with Koalas is joyful as you can get very close to them. The homelands of the animals have perfectly designed and they seem happy. The interesting part is Africa land with all giraffes, zebras, ostriches and rhinos together. Different Cafe and restaurant are available in different spots, drinkable water is acceptable every where and it was amazing that fans with moist could cool down people in higher temperatures. Toilets were clean and restaurants foods are good. We enjoyed a lot

I’ve visited this zoo 3 times now and it has been great to watch them grow. Overall in would argue this zoo delivers when it comes to a modern approach of looking after wild animals. Sitting and watching the meerkats, penguins and the emus in their respective enclosures are genuine highlights. When the weather is perfect it really is a wonderful experience. Though there’s a noticeable absence of shady area to sit on very hot days - of which there are numerous. I’ve never eaten here because we always pack a lunch (go team) so I can’t comment on the food / facilities.

Definitely worth a visit whether you’re a local or if you just really love zoos. Say hi to the Red Panda for me.

Medium sized zoo with a great reptile display and large variety of animals for its size. Took about 2 hours to leisurely explore the zoo. Went during Summer with the free Ferris wheel rides - was very worth the time. Super hot, but there were mist sprayers everywhere. Most Animals in the zoo were able to be spotted. The boulevard eatery is a nice place to eat and rest, but no air con. Most clean and good amenities around the zoo.

Was a great day trip with the family to Sydney Zoo. The zoos layout made it easy to navigate and traverse. The exhibits were all well kept, and the animals all looked in good health.

The cafeteria did leave the food choices a bit lacking with the hot dog rolls that once cooled down turned solid. The chips and drinks were nice, though baring that it was a fun time to spend walking around with the family seeing all the animals that inhabit the bus lands around our homes!

A world-class, outstanding, modern zoo. The design is fantastic and specifically achieves getting people as close to the animals as safely as possible. They offer extensive up close and personal animal interaction options. And, they have all the major animals from around the world. Truly one of the best zoos in the world. Do not miss it if you get the chance!

One of the most beautiful zoos that I have come. It is very nice that a lot of different animals have their home in here. The staff is very friendly and supportive with tourists and animals living in here as well. They have many species such as tiger, koala, kangaroo, and so on. It is not very far from the city of Sydney, that you can enjoy the wild life of those lovely species that live in here. Highly recommend to come here and enjoy!!!!

"My experience at Sydney Zoo was nothing short of exceptional, leaving me compelled to share my positive impressions on Google Maps. From the moment I entered, it was evident that the zoo prioritizes both animal welfare and visitor satisfaction.

The enclosures are thoughtfully designed, mirroring the natural habitats of the animals. It's evident that the well-being of the residents is paramount, and the zoo's commitment to conservation and education shines through. The diverse range of species, from iconic Australian wildlife to captivating international residents, makes the visit not just entertaining but also educational.

The interactive exhibits and informative signage provide a deeper understanding of each species, fostering a sense of connection and empathy. The zoo's emphasis on conservation efforts is commendable, creating awareness about the importance of preserving biodiversity.

The staff's dedication to both the animals and visitors is noteworthy. Friendly and knowledgeable, they contribute to the overall positive atmosphere. The cleanliness and organization throughout the facility reflect a commitment to maintaining high standards.

The zoo's layout encourages a leisurely stroll, allowing visitors to absorb the sights and sounds at their own pace. The breathtaking views of Sydney Harbor add an extra layer of charm to the experience.

In conclusion, Sydney Zoo offers a well-rounded and enriching adventure for all ages. My Google Maps review aims to echo the sentiment of a memorable visit—a testament to the zoo's dedication to creating a positive and impactful wildlife experience in the heart of Sydney."

Great zoo to visit with the kids. Pram and wheelchair friendly. Just wish all the cafes and kicks would stay open longer throughout the zoo. Only the main one remains open the longest.

We went to Sydney Zoo today - Wednesday 27th September 2023. It was pleasantly warm - around 32°C by 12pm.
The maps - when given - were a great help in navigating the zoo.
The Broadwalk was great as you could see the animals so much easier when looking down into the enclosures.
It was, however, very crowded (probably due to it being holiday time for NSW schools) and areas such as The Nocturnal House were particularly noisy. Most Nocturnal Houses have quiet signs around and that is usually adhered to - within reason - by the visitors.
The mist sprays at the various stops around the zoo were really welcome. Those stops had shelter from the sun.
There were quite a few food areas. The food was way overpriced. The menu at the smaller food areas was limited and they didn't have quick walk along food. The menu had full meals only.
It is not comparable to either of the Taronga Zoos. Both Taronga and Western Plains have a variety of travel modes to assist with the movement of people to different areas of the zoo e.g. Taronga has the sky lift to get people from the top end to the bottom end or vice versa. Western Plains has carts and bikes for hire as well as being able to drive your own car or take your own bike to get around the zoo.
Sydney Zoo is a smallish zoo and when we went up in the ferris wheel it didn't look like there was spare land in which it could expand.
We generally add an encounter or two to our zoo or wild life park visits. Our grandson has been having encounters with a variety of animals from zoos and animal parks from Cairns to Sydney since he was four. He is now 7 - so it was disappointing that most of the encounters he would have been interested in were for children 8 years and above.

Overall I would give Sydney Zoo a 2.5 but I had to do a 3 as the review wouldn't allow me to do a 2.5.

A small and compact zoo. But it is easy to navigate.

Koala here was the most active and adorable compared to Queensland and Victoria. AUD25 was the fee to get a closeshot photo by zookeeper. Besides 2 printed copies, we were also able to download 15 digital copies of different shots taken. Highly recommended

Feeding kangaroo here was also quite fun. But kangaroo here only interested in carrot. We also noticed emu wandering around, but feeding emu today was not possible as the emu was not in a good mood today.

This is a nice zoo, well laid out and overall a good family experience. Even with a full parking lot it wasn’t too crowded…for a weekend in July.

If you’re expecting a menagerie of amazing animals, I recommend the Australian Reptile Park or even Symbios; there are the basic big animals you expect to find at a zoo but that’s about it. The rides are fun but again, pretty basic considering the size of the zoo and ticket price.

Speaking of prices, if you think you’ll be back more than one time in a year the annual pass is slightly more expensive than a one-time visit.

It's better to book your ticket online for a 10aud off and quick entry. It has convenient free parking. The Zoo is well managed and equipped. Easy trail flow. Heaps of rest areas and cafes around with plenty of great food to choose from. There are also rides for kids to enjoy. We had fun seeing all the lovely animals and long walks in the zoo. Staff are so nice and friendly. I highly recommend visiting this zoo.

Easy online ticket purchase, very reasonable prices and booking times. Free convenient parking. We enjoyed the layout of the trail. The best day to visit is a sunny day during winter as most of the animals are outside. The zoo is well equipped to manage massive crowds. Less bustling on weekdays. Great logical flow through the exhibits. Plenty of rest areas and washrooms throughout. Completely pram accessible and easy to navigate. Food carts were also positioned well. The cafe has great food choices, something for everyone. Great visibility of the animals without feeling too intrusive. Animals seem to be well taken care of. Animals were active so we got to see nearly all the different species. Staff were fantastic and the info talks were great. Little one really enjoyed the animals and it’s a nice long walk in the zoo. Highly recommend visiting this zoo.

Took the wife and kids to this zoo. Great experience. Easy online ticket purchase. Reasonable prices. Enjoyed the simple layout. Animals seem to be well taken care of. Plenty of rest areas throughout. Food carts were also positioned well. Ate lunch here and kids enjoyed the food choices. Workers were professional and caring while dealing with wandering kids.

Great day out for the kids! Purchased tickets online to save some money. We went for the dinosaur safari, and the kids loved it! The dinosaurs were spread all over the zoo, so it kept the kids entertained the whole zoo visit. Some of the dinosaurs moved (which was pretty cool!) It took us about 3 hrs to see all the animals, and that included having a quick lunch. We went in at 9 am and there weren't too many people around. Highly recommend visiting during the Dinosaur Safari! We also went on the Ferris wheel ($8/person/ride, kids under 3 free). The kids loved it! Great view of the zoo.
