Beautiful facility and very well maintained. Great selection of animals and shows. Much better than the San Diego zoo
Great day at the zoo

Great day at the zoo, friendly staff to guide us at the ferry, easy to get to and from the zoo. Great experience to travel to the top of the zoo and wonder back down to the ferry. Great start to an excellent day

It was a great experience as we did not have a big queue to get on the ferry and it was very quick. Loved it.
Fun day at the zoo!

Enjoyable day at the zoo! Animals are well looked after, and the zoo keepers are super knowledgeable and friendly.
Views looking back at Sydney City were just amazing!
Start time says 9am and to be there 20 minutes beforehand, however the office stand doesn't open until 9am.
Knocked the rating down 1 star before the first ferry back was 1:40pm, and for a solo traveller this was quite late. Would have been good to have a ferry back an hour earlier.
But I still had a great day!

LOTS of construction going on. Many animals unavailable for viewing. Could be a great zoo, but we were kinda ‘underwhelmed’. On the plus side, it is a great location with spectacular views of Sydney.
We enjoyed seeing the...

We enjoyed seeing the koalas and the kangaroos. The walk thru the children's animal encounter was especially nice. The entrance to the zoo via the cable car ride was unique.
Fun day trip from Sydney

Fun day trip to the zoo- my baby and older kid enjoyed it. Best to take the ferry because its a short pleasant ride in and out of Sydney. Take the bus to the top to avoid walking up all the way!
Good trip to Taronga Zoo, chaotic return trip to Circular Quay

We started the trip from Darling Harbour from Wharf 1 (Tourist map at Darling Harbour still showing Pier 26). We headed to the top deck .. it was not raining then. Would have been great to have the seats dried off before picking up the first group of passengers. Amazing views from the ferry.

Return trip from Taronga was chaotic with passengers from various operators waited at the pier. Captain Cook Cruise were not able to confirm which side of the 'pier we should wait at as there were various ferry operators using the pier which is understandable.

We arrived for the 3.30pm ferry 1.5 hours early as we couldn't afford to miss the ferry back. I queued up at the first door on side A. Come 3.30pm the pier was packed. Captain cook ferry came and the ferry assistant decided to open the door FURTHEST to the ferry entrance. The first door was just facing the ferry entrance! There were alot of upset customers as the people who waited the longest was not able to board the ferry and the next scheduled ferry was at 4.40pm. They did sent another ferry soon after to pick the remainder of the passengers up. The passengers who missed out on the 3.30 ferry were now queing at the second door, however when the next ferry arrived, they opened the first door! Had it been busy then, we would have missed out again. If one wants more frequency in terms of ferry times to Circular Quay, my suggestion is to use the normal ferries
