You may not know it, but by visiting Taronga Zoo you’re directly supporting conservation, as funds raised through admissions and retail are reinvested in projects here at Taronga, and abroad to help secure a shared future for wildlife and people.

Join us on the Sounds of Science audio tour through the Zoo as we visit 10 of our amazing animals and discover the secrets behind these species, and the amazing science and conservation projects Taronga is involved in.

To listen to the tour, either download the 10 audio tracks and load them onto your phone, iPod or MP3 player and listen to them at each of the exhibits while you’re at Taronga Zoo, or borrow one of Taronga’s MP3 players pre-loaded with the audio tour; there is no cost, but there are only a limited number available, so be sure to register your interest in advance of your visit.
