By visiting Taronga Zoo you are directly supporting conservation through the money you spend on admission and in our shops.
How you can help
Daily Timetable

Our activities mean you can plan a fun-packed day from start to finish - keeper talks are often the best opportunity to see your favourite animal.

>> During the week of 7th May, Taronga keepers will be moving the Tahr herd. As part of this move some of the animals along the Big Cats Trail and African Safari will be off display. The Zebras, bongos, Barbary Sheep, Himalayan Tahr, Meerkats, pygmy hippos, dhole, Fennec Foxes and Snow Leopards will be off display on the 7th and 8th and then on the 10th and 11th of May 2012.

During this period we've organised a daily keeper talk at our Pelican exhibit (map reference 10E) at 2.15pm

These tips should help you get the most from your day:

  • Our shows can fill up quickly. Get there early to be sure of a seat. 

  • Some activities can change at short notice. Check at the information hut  for any last minute schedule changes (Map ref E18).
