We visited the zoo several years ago and I agree with you about the views – stunningly beautiful indeed. The fact that they have the conservation program is all the more reason to visit. Such an important cause. Great information about planning a visit! Thanks for sharing!

I love how accessible the zoo is from the rest of Sydney's attractions - and that you can see the Opera House in the background! It's great to hear that the animals are well looked after and that their is strong focus on conservation - you read so many horror stories these days that its always important (for me at least) to check these things before visiting.

Its always good to hear when animals are treated right and living in open spaces. I also love that its wheelchair accessible! I haven't been in any zoo that had a cable car, its great to know that they've made the extra effort so all their visitors can enjoy it.

In reply to Tara. Hi Tara, I think I prefer other zoos for the big cats, Auckland Zoo have a fabulous selection of the large and mid sized predators. I loved some of the more endangered examples like the sun bear in Sydney though, they had a wonderful enclosure and I don't recall seeing them in other places.

In reply to Aileen Adalid. Thanks Aileen, it's well worth keeping in mind if you can fit it in while in the city

Sydney is an amazing city, and it's great to see that this zoo puts great importance on the welfare of its animals. As I haven't been to this place yet, you bet that I'll be keeping it in mind for the future!

I love exploring zoos too, especially if they have a good conservation program. My favorites are almost always the big predators, unless there are gorillas. They are so fun to interact with. The zoo in Sydney sounds lovely - high on a hill overlooking the harbour! Love!

Wow, a century of being open, thats fantastic! I love places that try to conserve animal species. Never heard of a sun bear before, so I'm glad I read this post! This is going in my Aussie planning 😀

Great post and photos. Do the animals really have a great view of the Sydney Harbour 😀 Looks like they got a better view than most hotels in the area.

In reply to Travelwith2ofus. Thanks guys, we always enjoy an opportunity to see the wildlife and while Taronga isn't heavily skewed to Australian natives there are a good selection to see that you often won't get in zoo's elsewhere
