Here is a selection of the most recent reviews of the Sydney Taronga Zoo General Entry Ticket and Wild Australia Experience submitted by actual travelers. Read what travelers liked, what they loved, and what they thought could be improved.
This zoo is a must-see when you visit Sydney. Definately take the gondola ride from the ferry - takes you over top of the zoo to the main entrance - you make your way down to the ferry terminal again as you walk through the zoo. Our guided Wild Australia Experience was informative and fun (we ended up with a private tour as the other people that were booked did not show up!) After the tour we had ample time to see the rest of the zoo on our own time. Great exhibits and definately take advantage of the various talks by the zookeepers - very informative. You can have your picture taken with a Koala - but it is you standing beside the tree that the koala is in.

It was a great experience! Beautiful zoo, amazing setting, and must see animals! Our zoo guide was very friendly and inviting. It was the perfect must do experience if you visit Sydney! I would recommend to all of my friends who visit.

I was a little skeptical when a friend recommended this but it ranks very high amongst all tours I have taken. The zookeeper selected the animals we would see and I saw some that I had never heard of before, A senior zookeeper took us through about 10 encounters (inside of actual exhibits or in closed areas) where we got to pet, hold and/or feed various animals, including koalas, kangaroos, echidnas, bilbies, feathertail gliders, etc. It was very entertaining and educational. In addition to myself there was one couple and their three children aged 6-11. After well over two hours we went back to have tea with Paul, the zookeeper. I would highly recommend this tour.

Great tour! Informative guide who knows alot about the zoo and the animals. Got upclose with the koalas and got to feed the kangaroos. Other encounters with smaller animals as well. Wish we got to see other like the wombats, wallabies etc. Also wish there was an opportunity to get professional photos done with the koalas. Never got to see "how the food was prepared" only where it was prepared. Never got a gift or "tea". Overall it was a great opportunity to see the animals.
