We loved this place. They had a good assortment of indigenous animals and birds. My mom was thrilled to get her photo taken with a koala. The highlight for the rest of us was feeding the lorikeets.
Waste of money and time. Even my kid, who is big animals lover, left the place disappointed.
Went there many times as I think the place got smaller over the years since it 1st opened.
It's still a good place to go if you don't wanna travel far to see and pet kangaroos and take cute photos of koalas.
It was cool but I really think that they should more space to the poor animals because they live in really compact area
Had the best time getting my koala experience photo and snapped this cute picture of the keeper!
Kids absolutely loved it!!
However - NO PARENTS ROOM!!!
the "parents room" is just disabled toilet with an office chair! Extremely uncomfortable!
The kangaroo in Koala has an Australian character, but there are a lot of reptiles. That's not bad either.
If you are a big family group that looks for a whole day to spend in a zoo then I think this place is only a half day tour. Though if you are like me who is a tourist only have half a day and want to see some koala kangaroo etc. It's perfect match. The zoo has lunch as well and you can order previously a coupon bundle on Groupon.
I'm suggesting "toss a coin to your koala" instead of the roll a coin sign, but not sure if Aussies get that reference
Slow service at the front desk, can't imagine in the weekend
Re: lunar new year event.
They said come 45min-1hr before your booking. Our booking is at 6pm, we were there by 5pm, with two preschool kids in 33 degree weather. They said we can only come in at 6pm. Wish we had known to just come in at 6pm!!!!!
It is a mini zoo for sure with Australian authentic animals like Tasmanian devil, kangaroo, wombat, koala etc. The giant crocodile is somewhat remarkable experience for me
A place in the CBD where you can see few Australian wildlife
Very disappointing! ! Wouldn't waste my money ever again!! Hardly anything to see, possibly one animal. Annoying walking through corridors to get to exhibitions 2more walking than seeing anything. Old and out dated. Money making place with no benefit. False advertising as animals listed weren't evern there. No butterflies in the butterfly room, it was like spot the reptiles, no crocodile in the big tank. Just boring and waste. Very disappointing! !!!!!!
I met a cute koala. But guidance is very disappointing. Visited on the Saturday afternoon of August and there were various lines near the entrance. I had a prepaid ticket, but I don't know where to line it up. It turned out that the first ticket lined up was placed directly in 10 minutes. Next, it was lined up with more than 100 people, but after 15 minutes it turned out that it was the aquarium side. In the end, I realized that I should proceed as if I stepped on the green color. I applied for shooting with Koala, but I didn't know how to line up and waited for a while. About 10 people were pulled out. In addition, I don't know how to receive the photos taken together. If you look at various things, there are people in front of the machine. Apparently, I finally found that I could select my favorite photo with an automatic printing machine and print three copies. This is not kind to foreigners who are not good at English. Will you keep a guidebook for each language at least?
You could get a picture of a Koala! As soon as you you land in Sydney head over to the wild life Sydney zoo to get a picture with a koala!
Wow amazing sanctuary for a small footage, home to so many faunas. A kittle surprised to see extra ticketing to get close to specific group of animals. The bird show and seal show both outstanding
It's a zoo for animals that are exclusive only to Australia. The only drawback is certain locations are very crowded.
wouldn't go again, felt sorry for the animals, small cages and you can see that the place needs renovations
For in the city quite nice but not absolutely necessary for me! The aquarium was worlds better! For people who are only a few days in Australia ok, all living animals are present
Had a wonderful time here. Animal keeper talks were so informative. The koala photo was a blast. Ash the photographer is incredible. Highly recommend this.
Best, smallest zoo I've been to. Very friendly knowledge staff. Highly recommended.
It is very nice place with children to enjoy weekend, but it is small just one hour to cover all.
Staff is friendly and great place for kids to explore
Very good place to take the kids to see the animals.
Although the zoo is not very big, and even a littlr bit old, it still provide me a good experience to see koala!
Great fun zoo in the middle of Sydney and very nice staff.
Nice place and atmosphere! A zoo within the heart of the CBD!
It's nice place to go, especially for reptiles enthusiast, you can see almost all kind of Australian snakes here :)
All the popular Australian animals under one roof! If you re tight for time and you have already seen elephants, monkeys and lions in your life time, go for this. It s focused to bring you just animals of Australia. A great attraction for children and adults.
The biggest advantage is that you can see the koala from a close distance; the kangaroo area is very small and cannot be touched. If you want to interact with the kangaroo at a zero distance, you must go to the Currumbin Zoo on the Gold Coast.
As many people say, it's a nice place to go with kids. I enjoyed, but there is anything special, and in my opinion, most part of the animals seems really sad.
Great the first couple o times. Then gets a little boring...Get really packed during the school holidays, so be prepared to wait in line with the tourists...
Loved it this is the best experience. Its in the middle of the city and its spectacular.
We were tired at the end of it so it was worth it. Staff are friendly and helpful
Here you can see most of the aus. Animal, it is great place for all age group.
The animals are absolutely great and there's always activity going on! I had breakfast with the koalas, thanks to USYD and my experience has been absolutely amazing! Even got my picture taken with a koala (no touching though!! :) )
My kiddos was really amazed here! they are so very happy. Very nice place!
Overwhelmingly more reptiles are displayed than mammals!
Snake, many!
they are looks lively, lovely, nice of every animal
Not the best zoo you can visit in Australia, but it's a good opportunity to see coalas and cangurus, just on Sydney Harbour. Buy the combo ticket with the Sydney Tower.
The zoo was nice, as with all animal enclosures - it can be hit or miss on which animals are out and which ones are asleep. This day maybe half the animals were visable or had empty sections to see them. Willing to change the rating to 5* on a subsequent visit if more creatures are visable.
The animals are great for such a small location. Great seeing all the snakes and kangaroos. Definitely recommend paying a bit more for the picture with the koala. My teenagers loved getting that close to the koalas. The crocodile is amazing, I love how you can climb down into an enclosure under the pool.
Didn t quite know what to expect from the outside, but once inside we had an enjoyable time. Highly recommend getting the koala add on. I have not yet gone across the Harbour to the other zoo, but am looking forward to it. Also getting the multiple attraction pass is also recommended. $50 for 2 attractions is a good deal.
Great for kids and adults during low peak times.(Monday afternoon) We learned a lot from the trainers and staff during talk times, and even got to pet a kangaroo! We bought the 4 pass for other events online through a booking site which is cheaper than at the ticket counter. You can spend a good deal of time here, but prices for food, gifts, special photos, and souvenirs can be costly. Other than that I recommend
Not really much to see. You go through the whole zoo within 30 minutes unlike the SeaLife Aquarium which takes you nearly almost 2 hours. Trust me and save your money, it's not worth the $37. Your better of going to Taronga, Featherdale and the Blacktown Sydney Zoo. Preferably Blacktown. There's so much more to look at and its incredibly spacious and calming!
Very good, interactive. We could not the Tasmanian devil
Not worth the admission price. Only few animals in small cages. Recommend Taronga any day.
The koala just hang there, so cute. Nice attraction.
An indoor zoo total tourtist trap just save yourself the money buy ice creams instead
This is an indoor zoo, not so many different animals but they do have a nice selection of Australian only animals, especially the Tasmanian Devils!
Great place to visit with kids. But very busy and a bit overpriced.
It is indoor zoo and I could not enjoy much. I think it could e good for little kids as they can learn lots of things.
Actually it's not a real zoo. But at least we can learn a lot from this place about Australian animals, such as Koala, Kangaroo, Wombat or Wallaby. My favorite part is the giant Crocodile. You can spend your weekend here without any regrets. Recommended!
The zoo area is not too big, the kangaroo area is not high enough to have a close shot, and the animals can play for 2-3 hours.
It's only a small place but quite interesting as only Australian animals. I quite liked that. Maybe at Taronga Zoo they should have an area like that as once in Australia you don't really want to see the Gorillas and Giraffes.
Enjoyed the keepers talks and took my time for pats and photos.
2 suggestions: Butterfly area could be improved as well as the coffee shop.
Quite a nice day!
An average zoo in Sydney.
I suggest that you purchase the 4 attractions package to visit all the places instead of purchasing tickets for the zoo only.
All important animals of Australia united under one roof! There are also other tourist attractions close by - Sealife Aquarium and Madame Tussaud - so many hours of unforgettable impressions!
Still a good way to see Australia's wildlife quickly
This is worth going to if you have the multiple attractions pass. Good range of wildlife, doesn't feel like you are in the CBD area.
Nice place, very popular with tourists as it is very focused on Australian wild life. Some good little displays and shows.
Very Good experience but slightly expensive for the overall duration and activities
