Sydney Aquarium and Sydney Wildlife Park Review

Great place, our kids loved all the various animals on offer. The staff were all so lovely and helpful. It was fun seeing a number of the animals get fed too. Great viewing areas to see animals. The main animals, Koala s, kangaroos, wombat and croc were more impressive at Wild Life Sydney Zoo than Taronga Zoo in our opinion.

Not the biggest number of animals but you can see the Tasmanian devil, some kangaroos and crocodiles among other animals. Also you can take some photos and selfies with kangaroos and Kolas at a price

We booked "Breakfast with a Koala" experience but it was really much more than that. We arrived early and got a private tour of the zoo - it was great to have the place to ourselves and be there before they open to the public. Then we had our breakfast in the koala area and we were able to take so many pictures with them! We had a blast!

Loved the entire visit. The staff was great, very friendly and helpful. We did the koala experience and it was definitely worth the money. I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes animals.

Very well laid out zoo if a little small, it specialises mainly on Australian wild life.

This is NOT Sydney zoo known from tv, just a touristic attraction with all but only the wildlife from Australia. Walktrough would take you about 1hour, maybe 1 hour and a half, overprized.

Is just too sad, the animals look sad, they have not enough room to move, I regret a lot for book this cruel attraction, is not nice, makes me feel miserable, please don t come here

It takes about an hour to get around quickly, so travelers who have no time can be satisfied.
Shop items are cheaper than city souvenir shops!

I would highly recommend this attraction if they changed things up a bit. Also suggest that they have more interactive and hands on activities for children. Would make the experience so much better.

Great staff. Needs animal info signs at each exhibit, not screens that rotate each animal. Food better at Aquarium. Lots of Aussie animals.

This place is located near Harbour Bridge, good tourist attraction well done Sydney!

Good to go for once. You may not want to visit again. There are many other places better than this one. I would prefer Featherdale over sydney wildlife zoo

If you're going for the first time and you have a clustophobic friend. Then you're going to have a bad time. The map does not make sense and you'll go all over the place. We were trying to find the Koala encounter and the Koala Encounter was rushed. On the website we would have 10 mins to take photos but we only had five mins because of the koala talk. The enterance is confusing without that sign we would of lined up to Sea Life.

The entry fee is expensive. Was it worth the trouble? Not really but we had fun at the Koala encounter. Also buy your tickets ONLINE. The line is really long and if you pay online. You can skip the wait and go right in.

Very nice pastime. You can see all the animals you should have seen in Australia. The visit lasts about 1 to 1.5 hours depending on the time.

This zoo contains the wildlife of Australia. The area where we could walk among kangaroos and wallabys was fantastic, and being close to the koalas was great. The zoo is built on different levels, so many of the animals could be viewed from above, below and/or at their level. We were delighted to see the huge saltwater crocodile. All of the exhibits feature a map of Australia with the area of the animal's origin highlighted. This is a great little gem in Sydney's Darling Harbour. Allow about 2 - 3 hours to see everything.

I felt it was small. But he managed this small area very well Saw many kinds of animals But the photos are a little expensive

Impressive and unexpected to see kangaroos and kuola.

A great way to see Australian Animals in one place, particularly if you are pressed for time. Really enjoyed it. The staff were helpful, knowledgeable and clearly loved their jobs.

We came early hoping to beat the crowds and it was great, there was barely anyone else so we got to explore without people pushing us around. The zoo was the smallest I've been to but the exhibits were good. We loved how interactive the whole experience was for both is and our toddler being able to get up close to the butterflies, crocodile and the big glass windows & the animal statues along the way, it's conveniently in the same complex as the aquarium which is great. We got a photo album, was abit pricey at $50 with only a few photos but makes a good keepsake and comes in a book with animal facts and stickers. Would recommend coming here through quiet times as you'll get a much more memorable experience.

Flys in the candy s
Not clean at all

I went with my 3 and a half sons and it was great. Right in front of Darling Harbor and easy to find. There were a lot of kinds that were hard to see in Korea and it was okay to go and enjoy with baby. I went in at about 2 o'clock, but when the 2:30 was a koala, I listened to the koala's explanation and touched it at 3 o'clock. Crocodiles are very large and snake bats, as well as rat quarks found in Australia. Please note that a little big children. I didn't have time for the aquarium next to it.

You can walk through the zoo in an hour but it was fantastic. Heaps to see. There's the most beautiful tropical butterfly area as you enter! And the huge salt water croc! Great for kids and also highly enjoyable for adults!

This is a great experience for the kid take them if you can they have a lot of animals to see and look at

Didn't have much time but got through it in 40mins. Went on a Monday morning and it wasn't to busy. Get a 4 attractions pass online as it's cheaper and 3 of the attractions are in the same building.

Overall a really lovely walkthrough experience. It has a great spread of animals to see. It took myself and my partner 2 and a half hours to do while spending more than average time observing the animals. That included the crocodile talk/feed and koala talk.

Perfect for seeing local animals, when you are not interested in animals from around the world. The zoo is well organized and flow of visitors is good. We loved the individual talks at each major area, and the chance to interact directly with the animals. All staff were friendly and clearly enjoyed their work.

Love it! The zoo keepers are friendly and the animals are beautiful

Great place to visit with kids during school holidays. While you're there visit the aquarium and madam Tussauds with a multi pass. Get in early otherwise gets very packed. Only negative is the closing time, which I think should be extended during school breaks.

It was great and we really enjoyed getting closer to the animals. Zoo keepers are all very interesting and friendly and it was great taking photos with koalas and getting closer to them. There are plenty of animals to look at and if you have no time to go the bigger Syndey zoo - this is certainly worth visiting for a couple of hours.

It's very nice but my only problem is that it is quite small and I expected interactive activities with the kangaroos and birds in the walk in enclosure.

Great place to visit if you don t want to spend half a day at the zoo. The koala s are awesome

Small but in a central location. Not surprisingly, a bit of a tourist trap. You probably want to go somewhere else if you can.

Their crocodile died two weeks ago.

A great zoo for learning about Australian wildlife! The animals clearly love their zookeepers and volunteers, and it's obvious why--the staff is kind, patient, and knowledgeable. We had an amazing time, learned a lot, and got to see many quirky and adorable animals up close! The zookeeper talks throughout the day are also definitely worth attending!

This zoo has some pretty good exhibits but aren't necessarily worth the price. There are many different areas with multiple things you can do in the zoo but seeing everything and getting through it takes about 1hr 30mins if you're not waiting around. For the $38 that I paid, it wasn't in my opinion worth the price... maybe $20. Water is pretty expensive too, around $5 a bottle that's normally worth $3.

Fun place to go and worth a look if in the area for a while but be mindful of the cost so you're not surprised.

Gathered in this zoo all the emblematic animals of Australia. For 25 dollars you can enter the koala enclosure and leave with beautiful souvenir photos.

There are all kinds of kangaroos, you can also take pictures with the tailed rats

Very short and the children felt disappointed. Costs a lot to walk through.

I went to Wild Life because it was included in the pass I bought. That being said, it was worth it. If I had to pay the ticket individually I think I would not, because there are few animals .. (even more compared to Taronga Zoo). But it should be noted that koalas are very close (yields good photos) and the area of the crocodile is very cool too. Only place we saw that giant crocodile. / I went to the Wild Life as it was included in the pass I bought. So worth it. If I had to pay the ticket individually I think I would not go as it has a few animals .. (compared to the Taronga Zoo). But it should be noted that the koalas stays in an area very close to us (good pictures) and the crocodile area is very cool too - only place where we saw the giant crocodile.

This place has its charms.
I reckon if you turn up with some kids,
follow the talks that flow through the day,
you'd get decent value for your entry cost.

I've only been there with a yearly all inclusive ticket.
So we just pop in and check out what's new or the kids
favourites and get on with something else.

Most recently the "Merlin Annual Pass Australia" on discount is good.

If you want to see unique Australian animals efficiently, I recommend this place. I also recommend, if it's rain as here is indoor zoo.

Kangaroos, Koalas, and many more Aussie creatures in a tight space. While tight spaces make this an easy tour, it will at times make you wish the animals had more space or even better - were able to reside in their natural habitat.

Best place to see cute Koalas in the city. I was closer than any other place in Sydney. The baby Koalas are the best! I recommend to buy the attraction package with other attractions, it s a lot cheaper.

A new upgrade is required. The fun is halved on the second visit.
It is fun for first visit but second visit will be bored.

Nice place to visit if you have nothing to do. At least you can learn something besides playing games and drinking beer.

Great place for a quick but brief introduction into Australian wildlife. Whole exhibition can be viewed in 1 hour. Small but adequate sized enclosures.

Didn't know this place existed. What a gem in the middle of darling harbour. Great for families.

OMG, this place was amazing. I saw my 1st Kola, and baby kangaroos. I understand the actual zoo in Sydney Australia is way more awesome, but we didn't have enough time. This is enclosed, but the animals have the feel of outdoors. Don't think you'll be disappointed.

Koalas and quokkas are so cute
It's nice to have time to see kangaroos up close
Koalas sleep a lot, but if you're lucky you can also see them awake

Great place to see Australian wildlife within the city. It's small but it does the job. Kids have fun so parents are happy.

Experience to be repeated! In the immediate vicinity of Darling Harbor has competitive prices and promotional packages for all tastes. I hope to come back soon.

Staff are friendly & nice. Environment ok but not much animals to see

Very well put together and well kept would recommend of not wanting to spend a whole day in a zoo just a few hours and it's in darling harbour

Sydney Wild Life Zoo was really a fun experience. Stone friends told us to go visit before we left Sydney and I'm so happy that we did. It was nice to see the indigenous animals of Australia. The zoo was sweet up very well and centrality located near the harbour. We took the Hop On Hop Off and spent most of the day exploring the zoo.

Love coming there with my family. It is not as crowded as Aquarium and you can see unique Australian animals there.

I will suggest you to visit Tauranga instead of this

I loved doing the zoo visit, yes it was an amazing experience to walk side by side with sharks and spider, and other animals that I came across, and I will definitely return to Sydney city that enchanted me for the beauty and its performance

It's a small zoo that's good for visitors from outside Australia who just want to see mostly smaller animals unique to Australia. That said it is still a good zoo. If you want a bigger zoo with large and small animals, go to Taronga.

I never can forget the lovely coalas in this zoo.. they are so active and forward..

It's a lot bigger than it looks from the outside and very good value if you want to see koalas up close.

We booked the breakfast with the koalas experience - we found it to be good value. The tour was very educational. Stand outs were the butterfly enclosure and the huge crocodile. What we liked about the zoo the most was their obvious love and care of the resident animals and the zoo's contribution towards conservation.

Great place to get a better understanding of the local fauna. They have everything from poisonous snakes to cuddly koalas. Unfortunately when I went, the salt water crocodile just recently passed away.

For me is a little bit small, but is very interesting for you meet Australian animals and omg have a amazing crocodile view.

SWEET zoo in the middle of the city. Amazing how much you fit in what looks like a relatively modest building from the outside! Koala experience is wonderful and this is a great option for visitors who can't get the the big Australia Zoo. Your sustainability mission is so critical, especially with Australia in the midst of bush fires that are made so much worse by climate change. In light of your mission and the huge number of visitors you see each year, I beg of you to stop selling single use plastic - especially plastic water and drink bottles in your cafe and onsite. You have the perfect platform to tell people why you are making this change and to lead by example.

It's a little understated here. $ 35 for Sea Life and $ 40 for $ 5 for Wildlife.
