Reviews
A lovely zoo, with lots to see and mostly great animal enclosures (large, and full of appropriate habitat for the animals). As a couple, it took us 6 hours to see almost everything (missed out the kids trail). Both the Free Flight and the Seals shows were well put together and worth watching. Most of the animals were visible, which given it was a hot day was unexpected. On a Sunday it was busy but not horribly so.
Had an amazing day at the park. All the animals are well cared for and the staff are happy to share their knowledge if asked.
Molly's farm is well worth a visit. Seeing a sheep sheared with explanations of how and why was great.
We were able to walk among the wallabies and kangaroos. Was good to see they had an area they could go to away from public interaction should they wish.
A very well thought out park and well worth a visit.

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Taronga Zoo, particularly the gorilla enclosure, where observing the animals' interactions provided a captivating experience. The seal show was both educational and entertaining, showcasing some impressive tricks. The penguin area allowed a unique perspective, watching these fascinating birds from below the surface. However, I was somewhat disappointed with the reptile section, which appeared dated in its presentation, reminiscent of the mid-1990s. Despite this, the overall experience was delightful, with the standout moments making it a memorable visit.
Had a great day, plenty to see and do. Plenty of walking 🚶, variety of food options. Great viewing spots for all the different animals. Will continue to do more of the animal encounters. This time was the Giraffe 🦒 snap shot 😀
Taronga Zoo exceeded my expectations during my recent visit. The diverse range of animals, captivating exhibits, and the backdrop of Sydney Harbour create a unique and memorable experience. The staff's friendliness and expertise added to the enjoyment. It's a fantastic destination for families, nature lovers, and anyone seeking a meaningful connection with wildlife.
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

Seen a lot of negative reviews about this place and I really don’t understand them. This place is the greatest zoo I have ever visited. It is huge and there is so much room for the animals to enjoy themselves whilst being protected from an unsafe environment. The keepers take really great care of each animal here and that is what matters! A lot of people have complained about how Steve’s legacy is being impacted negatively but I think the Irwin’s have done a fantastic job of continuing Steve’s mission. A lot of people don’t understand that the money we spend at the zoo goes towards protecting wildlife, and the negative reviews show that. It is better to think about what the Irwin’s are doing and how the zoo works to protect animals rather than thinking about the negatives. Purchasing tickets beforehand is a great idea to save the wait and for transport, a bus service is a great inexpensive way for again save time. The croc show was awesome and it was nice to be able to sit with the kangaroos and feed them. Again, this place is fantastic for education and is a wonderful place to visit.
A lovely zoo with amazing Sydney city & harbour views. Can be accessed by bus, car & ferry & we went ferry both ways (short trip from Circular Quay). Buses available from ferry up hill to main entry. There is also an entry at bottom near ferry.
Lots of animals including Australian- opportunity for koala photos & walking amongst kangaroos & emus.
Sadly chairlift not working, with other issues with up escalators & also 1 lift. Meant additional walking.
Food is very average in food court - $40 for a couple of chicken meals & an ice-cream. Could buy drinks incl alcohol.
Various ticket options - cheaper to buy online. Cashless zoo now.
Always worth a visit.

The kids love the Zoo 😊 such wonderful family experience. I highly suggest a great day out at Australia Zoo on the beautiful Sunshine Coast.
There's not a great deal I can complain about 😂😂 Australia Zoo is very well maintained,bathrooms are always clean, service is lovely and the animals are very well looked after from a visitors perspective.
My little children love the "get wet area" and bounce pillow, such a great addition and my older children enjoy the interactions and Zoo in general 😊
Treat yourself to some awesome animal therapy, an ice cream and great shows.... stop in at Australia Zoo 😊

We LOVED IT LOVED IT LOVED IT! A truly amazing Wildlife Park. All animal lovers and children will enjoy it. You can pat and feed kangaroos, go to a farm show, take a picture with wombat and koala, and touch some other animals like lizards and python. The only thing to keep in mind is that it’s better to come by car because the place is not very reachable via public transportation.
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.

We had an amazing experience at this zoo in Sydney, which we consider the best ever. The variety of animals is impressive. The koala area is a must-see, and the well-designed layout offers different sections for animal viewing, along with beautiful skyline views of the city. It's highly recommended, especially for families with kids. We spent six hours exploring everything, including fantastic bird and seal shows, and the zoo also provides stunning views of Sydney Harbour. On-site parking is plentiful, and the spacious, modern animal enclosures are in excellent condition. A must-visit for anyone in Sydney for a few days.
Good diversity of wildlife across Australia represented here, well organised and plenty of tree cover. You can take photos with wombats and koalas which is great for kids and tourists. Would've been nice if some animals e.g. the camel could be within arms reach like the other farm animals
My day at Taronga Zoo was truly unforgettable. The endless variety of animals roaming their “homes” brought so much joy to everyone around. The numerous event featured (extremely) well-trained animals, which added a magical touch to the entire experience. It was a sight witnessing the incredible bond between the animals and their dedicated trainers. I’d especially like to point out the level of care and attention to detail in every presentation. I left with a deeper appreciation for wildlife and environmental conservation. Taronga Zoo isn't just a zoo; it's a place where you connect with nature on a whole new level. Highly recommend for a heartwarming and educational day out!
A fantastic zoo. We stayed 6 hours here and feel we saw pretty much everything including the excellent bird and seal shows and a stop for lunch. The zoo offers amazing views of Sydney Harbour as a bonus. Parking is on site and plentiful. The animal enclosures are large, modern and in good condition. A must visit for those in Sydney for a few days.
Super wonderful place to interact with lovely koala, kangaroo, wallaby, wombat, kookaburra and many farm animals. It is recommended to plan a one-day trip in the park to ensure sufficient time for all the activities. The only thing is that the place is away from downtown perth, and it would be much more convenient to take a taxi/didi or to drive there.
OK, Queensland is hot.
That said, dress appropriately for the weather that day and sensible shoes, as you will do a lot of walking.
There is an absolutely amazing amount of parking. This being said, it fills up quickly, and I have had friends on occasion turn up and the carparks are full. People will start turning up an hour before the park opens.
Please, please take the time to book your tickets online. This will speed up the entry process for everyone. As you can see from the photo of the entry taken 15 minutes after the park opened.
You are welcome to bring in your own food and drink. There are also a good amount of hydration stations where you can refill your water bottles.
The shows are great to watch, however if you have been a few times they are all the same. Again, great shows and very informative.
Many animals to look at, both native and from overseas. You can read about the different environmental projects they are a part of and if you wish, you can donate to one or all of your choosing.
Highly recommend making a day trip here, take your time and enjoy the shows.

If u are planning for a zoo, I encourage u to plan the entire day if u really want to get your money's worth. There are so many amazing things in the zoo, and if u don't come early, u will miss it. A couple of few famous animal encounters like seal etc has a line on a busy day, so u need to time see all of them. It's a lot of walk so be prepared accordingly with comfortable shoes and water. U really should come at your earliest to enjoy the full zoo.
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!!!!
A great family day! So many animals to see, interesting keeper talks, the Wildlife Warriors crocodile show is great, jumping pillow for the kids to have a break, lots of seats and shady spots for a sunny day, and more. Bring swimmers for the kids, and some frozen water bottles for a hot day. Highly recommended.
Wow! Wow! Wow! What an amazing place to experience.
From the lovely staff who scanned our tickets, to the zoo keepers who were so friendly and answered any question, to the friendly staff at Crikey Cafe. This zoo is exceptional, we were in awe from our first animal viewing of the Giraffes. Then it kept getting better. We were fortunate to watch the Tiger show, Otter show and the Crocodile show. These shows weren't animals being trained and doing tricks, it was to see how they behave in their natural habitat. We were so relieved, and watched on in wonderment.
Crikey Cafe was better than what I read in reviews. The salad wrap, cheeseburger and coffees were all good and reasonably priced.
Our best part was watching Robert Irwin and Nero show us what "not to do with crocodiles". It was so great to watch them with Charlie the Croc, and the love they have for them. Definitely gave me an appreciation for crocodiles 🐊
A big plus was finding the Irwin Turtle in his huge habitat. He's so cute and tiny😍
This zoo is ethical, with large habitats for all the animals, plus time away from public viewing to prevent them becoming stressed. You can truly see that all the animals are healthy, happy and loved. A zoo not to be missed.
Well done to the Irwin family ❤

Wow! What an amazing zoo! Presented so beautifully! Amazing gardens, clean walkways and the animals are very cared for. Enjoyed every moment at this wonderful place! You can feel the love in this zoo and it was a joy to visit. The staff were very friendly and we had a wonderful day out! Africa is mind blowingly beautiful so very impressed!
"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."

Super love this place! The staff is nice, friendly, relentless explaining the animals details with many smiles on their faces. The park really maintained it in a good wild life way and people get to see the animal with close up without glasses, it's a very good experience for watching the animal. Roam free kangaroo for people to pet, koala photo taken by free
There are no words to describe this place. It was so much more than we expected. Amazing staff from when we entered until we left. The shows were so good and enjoyable. The facilities were all clean and extremely well maintained. The animals looked so good, and nothing was out of place. Well done !!
We had a wonderful day out at Caversham Wildlife Park. We absolutely loved being able to get up close to the Kangaroos, Wallaby, Koala and Wombat and seeing all of the other animals.
It’s a great day out and the staff were all really friendly too.
We would highly recommend a visit. ❤️

What an absolute treat! The animals are evidently, incredibly happy, heaps of room for them, clean pens, enriched environments for each animal. A wide variety of animals to see. No ridiculous crowds and queues and lots and lots of shaded areas. Really amazing conservation. Barely recognisable from the original big pineapple facilities. I highly recommend going here, I think this will be our go to zoo on the coast from here out as it was just awesome! A big thumbs up all around.
We love our trips to the zoo, first time we’ve seen the new cafes and playground. The new cafe food is quite expensive, miss the food trucks they had. Playground is nice but definitely suited to older kids rather then toddlers.
A must visit spot in Sydney. Went there on my last day to Sydney on my birthday and got a $1 entrance. Lots of animals, great vibes and fun experience. Can easily walk around and spend 4 hours here.
It's good that the big animals have room to move freely but I think more could be done in order to provide multiple viewing angles for guests. I went the other week and saw mostly rear ends of animals far away which was a little disappointing. Viewing platforms could be built in a camouflaged way so animals don't know people are there.
Be aware the zoo might be a bit larger than you think and the experience might get a little bit overwhelming.
...and there's A LOT of children. 😁
Apart from that, I got a very natural feeling here, tasteful enclosures, some animals even weren't asleep during my visit.
Nothing to think about, go there, enjoy, a must visit while in Sydney.
Such a shame the Sky safari is no longer available thought.

It is one of the best zoos I've been to around the world. The animal habitats are large and clean, and everything is incredibly well cared for. Arrive ~30 minutes before doors open to purchase an animal encounter, they go quickly. If they don't pass out numbers outside, or if you don't receive one, head to the gift shop when you enter to purchase.
Went to Perth with our daughter and grandchild. The animals look well cared for and it was an enjoyable day out. Grandson enjoyed the statues and surrounds as much as looking at the animals.
Our visit to Caversham Wildlife Park was an unforgettable experience. Hugging a koala was the highlight of the day, and it’s something we’ll cherish forever. The park itself was well-maintained, and the staff were knowledgeable and passionate about the animals.
Hugging the koala was a dream come true. These gentle creatures are even more endearing up close, and the experience was made even better by the informative staff who shared fascinating insights about their behavior and conservation efforts.
Caversham Wildlife Park offers an opportunity to get up close and personal with Australia’s unique wildlife, and the chance to hug a koala made the visit truly exceptional. It’s a must-visit for anyone who wants to connect with nature and experience the wonder of Australian wildlife.

Absolutely amazing! Their feature exhibits always stun and amaze. They take art to new limits, in this particular exhibit bringing our native fauna into the spotlight. The texture and expressions on the animals are beyond incredible.
I'll start by saying you need 4 to 5 hours to enjoy it all. It's BIG, so plan accordingly, take a break & stay hydrated. It's worth it.
Booking & entering were smooth, no issues. Scenery from the Sydney Harbour in the background was spectacular.
All in all good experience.

Perth Zoo is a great attraction in Perth. It's possible to explore it relatively quickly if you're short on time, but don't mistake its efficiency for smallness.
The zoo boasts a wide variety of animals and features. The Bolivian Monkeys are especially adorable. It's also a fantastic place for picnics, with the added convenience of free barbecue facilities for visitors to use.

Visited Taronga Zoo on a weekday during school holidays and it was bustling!
Unfortunately, I missed out on the seal show as it was fully packed, and I couldn't find the bears (probably were sleeping somewhere out of sight).
A bit of construction was underway, but this was a minor inconvenience.
Beyond these, everything else was absolutely splendid! The animals appeared content and in excellent health. Also they have the most luxurious view I've ever seen - that iconic Sydney Harbour view! :D
It was not only entertaining but also very educating. Taronga is a great testament to how we can co-exist with nature in harmony.
The area is huge, I'll definitely go back to see and learn everything I've missed.
Must-visit for all nature lovers!

Pretty Zoo with views of Sydney harbour. Quick ferry ride is the best way to get there. Food awful and overpriced. We really enjoyed some parts of the the zoo and other parts not so much. I think the zoo needs to worry less about the view and create more privacy for the enclosure and better design for viewing. Tips, get there early, bring your own food and drink, have a plan to go to the keepers talks as they normally feed the animals and you will at least see them, very hilly so wear comfortable shoes.
More than a simple zoo. Elegant, well designed with color identification of the trails to follow. Varied fauna and flora integrated into very beautiful settings. It even has an area with marine animals typical of the area. Many activities for the little ones and numerous support services. Easy to access from central Sydney by bus or ferry. Highly recommended. One morning or one afternoon are needed, at least, for sure.
What a fantastic place to visit! We visited Taronga Zoo for the first time on a holiday to Sydney for our toddler's birthday, and we all had an amazing day. We took the direct ferry from Circular Keys and got there early and, despite being school holidays, it didn't feel too busy within the zoo.
The views of the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House are spectacular.
The enclosures all appeared well maintained and there are lots of encounters and interactions available to purchase. We bought tickets for the giraffe feeding which was fun!
There was quite a bit of construction going on to improve the park but it didn't affect us.
We spent over 4 hours there but could have easily spent longer if our daughter wasn't tired out.
We'll definitely go back again!

My girls wanted to meet the capybaras close up so we booked the encounter. It was amazing. Well worth the cost going towards such a fabulous zoo with caring and highly educated animal keepers and great habitats for the animals. Definitely recommend the experience. Great to get kids off the screens and back to nature (even though they became obsessed with capybaras via social media 😊)
Ace day during the school holidays visiting the animals at Caversham Wildlife Park. Plenty to see and the farm animals are great to interact with and getting up close with a wombat and olive python were highlights for us.
A different experience to other parks and we really enjoyed it. There's a giftshop, toilets, plenty of signs and shaded areas with seats. Appears to be wheelchair friendly throughout.

wrong phone number they are using the phone number of some random poor old lady in NSW
Super enjoyable and easy going day out. My husband and I wanted something restful to do while around the area and a long stroll around while observing the cutest of animals was just what we needed.
Very good day out for all ages. Good talks by the keepers and very informative. Lots of different animals to see and a great attraction for the Sunshine Coast. Well worth a visit.
We have brought the kids here many times . This place has a rustic Aussie feel rather than a clinical reptile centre and has been great to bring our son and his friends to see the reptiles and explore outside . The reptile handler is a big reason why we have come back , because he is so good at presenting the snakes and bobtails and is so informative. We have had a good experience every time .
Had an excellent time visiting this park.
Went with the family and got to hold to hold a snake and bobtail.
The staff were very friendly and approachable. They had interesting items such as snake skins to show and feel as well.
Note - they have more crocodiles than Perth Zoo and there's a wonderful bush trail to see the wildflowers. The sign is not very very well marked but the trail is defintiely worth it.
The family loved it, I loved it and we will come back again.
Recommend taking your own lunch or making plans for lunch elsewhere in the swan valley as they have limited food options. They have a very nice place to sit down and have lunch though which is what we did.

Tigers scary
What a sad place this was to visit :( I’m shocked this place is still legally open. I have made numerous formal complaints after my visit to try and be a voice for the poor state these living things are being kept in. The reptiles had no water or food, their water bowls were bone dry! Their enclosures had nothing but newspapers and some old wood (if that) where is the greenery? The birds were all very sad, the ones at the front were lucky to have a bit of seed and water, no toys or even branches to sit on. Some of the bits outside were clearly distressed and flying back and forth, they had no greenery or fresh water. The wombat enclosure had a sign that looked 10 years old saying under construction, why was the wombat left in there? Again no greenery or fresh water. The place is so run down with piles of old rubbish just laying around the grounds, my children we’re constantly asking where to walk because the animal enclosures are weaved in with unkept gardens and half fenced off areas with piles of old metal/cars/rubbish. The animals all looked so sad and depressed. This place isn’t spending money on caring for the creatures they choose to enclose and make money from. So sad DO NOT RECOMMEND!!
Impulsively decided to visit the reptile farm with my family on the way back to Subiaco at around 4pm and had the most lovely time! Gane brought us around the park and introduced us to the snakes and went into detail about all the snakes and his experiences with them. It was a rather intimate experience with the lack of crowd as it was close to the closing time, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Thank you Gain and Jane for the lovely accommodation, we will definitely be back to visit when we return to Perth!
The best Zoo in Queensland!!!
Very reasonable prices and awesome staff, i have been here twice and will 100% be back again
The deer and emu are bestfriends and follow eachother around the park.

Always love packing a picnic & going to the zoo. No matter how old they get, the kids faces still light up with every animal.
The food vendors & cafe are a bit pricey but the various vending machines around the zoo are handy especially the ice cream one that makes for a nice treat after lunch.

Great place for young kids with beautifully kept enclosures and such a great range of animals for a smaller zoo! So much space and seat to sit down and have a snack. My 2 year old had the time of her life. 10/10
Loved it. Great for people who are keen to learn about different types of animals, especially the Native animals of Australia. Kids loved it too. Awesome day out.
Might be better to go with food or eat before going as the Cafe was pretty expensive.

Tiger at Perth Zoo
What a wonderful day. The zoo is amazing. Easy to wander around with a big group, lots of shady spots to pause. Wheelchair friendly. The enclosures are absolutely amazing - the way they've incorporated existing flora into the spaces is just stunning. Very affordable, good parking and excellent amenities. We didn't eat at the Cafe but took a picnic lunch and ate with the lemurs!
Amazing i love it! I couldn't believe how many snakes they had. An amazing experience definitely worth visiting. The guy who does the holding shows with the snakes & lizards is brilliant so insightful and has lots of knowledge behind him. Great way to learn about local snakes and lizards and also afew extra bonus animals.
Such a great place! We had such a fantastic experience and loved everything. Such lovely, friendly staff that have lots of knowledge about the reptiles. We got to hold a lizard and snake and learnt alot about them. Will definitely be recommending to friends and will be back soon.
We rang Jane over phone about the booking and she was very calm and answered our queries very nicely.
It’s such a lovey place to spend few hours, we got the chance to hold the snakes and staff was very knowledgeable. We also went for a walk to see beautiful peacocks, birds and dingos.
Keep it up guys 👍

Went late in the afternoon, didn’t expect much, the dingoes feeding time was amazing, knowledgeable presentation on the cute wild animals.
The reptiles were also very cute taking naps. Got to handle two docile snakes and some blue tongue lizards.
It might’ve been cleaned but some enclosures lacked substrate for the animals…?

Great for the little kids - and the big ones!
It was like being back at work in the office - the place was full of snakes....🤣
It's good but the ticket is relatively expensive 🙂.
The people that run this place are great but need our help. I recommend taking your kids for the experience
Awesome 🐍 we got to see the goanas eat live crickets this visit interesting. Its My 8 yr old sons first stop at the zoo every visit... We sure did miss going to see the famous Simmo (crocodile) RIP x
Easy access and very good viewing positions. We had a wheelchair and could still see everything
Well as much as you can love a place like this it was incredible to see so close up.
