  Award-winning zoo. Nice location away from Sydney city centre. Get there by ferry from Circular Quay, then take the cable car to the top entrance and work your way down.

  Best/cheapest visit is to take the public Sydney Ferries (using the Opal prepay transport card). Buy your zoo tickets online. We bought ours on our mobile while waiting for the ferry. Tickets are cheaper online, and there are family tickets where you can save even more.

  The next morning you will have access to the park with the keepers before the gates open again to see some of the animals who can be lazy or hide once it gets a little hot. (The animals you will see depend on the keepers with you but normally you will be told the night before). from there you normally collect your bags and go for a bit of a close up with some of the Australian wildlife and finally the park is yours to explore for the day.

  If you really want to see the zoo and the animals though I would suggest the Road and Snore option this allows you to meet late after the park closes you enter and are taking to the camping area where you will see you cabin for the night and be able to drop any bags you have brought, from there they will do a small talk and introduce you to a few animals to get a little closer. (Note when I did it, it was lizards and snakes, only a note as some people don't like them).

  I'd recommend the combined ticket for both. If you purchase your tickets at the Circular Quay counter (right near the ferry), then you can take the sky tram up the hill when you arrive to the main entrance and proceed down instead of having to walk up from the ferry landing. Probably works to do this if you purchase online too.

  If you have to see anything at the zoo make sure you make time to see the QBE bird show and the seal show also. They are not only a wonderful thing to see but are educational for yourself and the kids.

  We also did the wild ropes, which was quite fun... quite challenging as well!

  A fantastic cultural asset. Though I am not a zoo lover by nature I have come to love this tourist and child friendly attraction. I recommend strongly taking the ferry in and from there taking the ski lift to the top of the hill..then amble slowly down the hill. A must visit for locals and sightseers alike.

  the zoo is big and can take a while to walk so make sure you get there as early as possible to get the full day in, ticket prices are really good but if you can get yourself the Sydney ferry and zoo ticket in one. It is a nice way to see the harbour going over and they the zoo itself.

  The main part of the zoo is great, lots of information about the animals, great free flying bird show. In addition, the views of Sydney from the zoo (opposite side of the harbour) are amazing.

  After the talk you are treated a walk around the park which allows a much better look at some of the nocturnal animals in the zoo. from there you will walk down and enjoy a nice meal inside the zoo itself and finally after that it is off to bed.

  My husband and I liked it, the zoo is well laid out with good animal shows/ zookeeper talks through the day. My only regret is getting there late - most of the shows are in the morning/ before noon. It can get hot on a sunny day, but the view of Sydney harbour is excellent. Good connectivity through ferries and buses both

  Limited good food options though - I suggest packing your own.

  I love animals and with that visit a lot of zoo's every chance I get, and I have to say this is one of the best I have ever seen.
