Enjoy free shows such as the bird flight presentation and seal performance, and hear keeper talks throughout the day.
Whether you grab lunch at a café or bring your own picnic, there are plenty of scenic spots to relax. After a full day of wildlife discovery, return to Circular Quay by ferry with views to remember.

Little bit of confusion at the start as to which ferry we should be boarding but sorted easily enough. The zoo itself was nowhere near as good as we were expecting. Not as many animals. Being a BH weekend it was quite busy too. Despite all of that, we’re glad we did it.
It was an amazing trip! definitely worth the money. We spent 4 hours at the zoo and easily could’ve spent more!
It was great to be able to explore the Zoo at our own pace. At times we actually split and went into different directions and then met later. Very helpful guides all over. The bird keeper demonstration was amazing.
It was a great day trip because you could head to the zoo at any time and spend however long there before taking the ferry back to the Harbour!
