A Zoo with a Harbour View
Taronga Zoo Sydney overlooks some of the most breathtaking views of Sydney Harbour. The Zoo spans 28 hectares of beautifully landscaped and hilly terrain, creating a unique environment where winding paths and leafy walkways lead you from one amazing animal encounter to the next. Some areas can be steep, so we encourage a sense of adventure as you explore.
