Hi, animal encounters can only be booked on the day. I believe it’s a first come, first served basis. The animal talks and shows run every half an hour or so, you can collect a map on your way in which shows all the times on there. If you want to see the seal show I suggest lining up half an hour before the show so you don’t miss out as there’s limited seating.

Yes, public transport is actually the fastest way to the Zoo. First just catch a Public Train from the Airport to Circular Quay. Then just find the Taronga Zoo Wharf for a 12 minute Public Ferry ride direct to the Zoo.

I always like to be positive, particularly about Taronga Zoo as I have been there many times over the years. But my opinion the zoo barely meets a good standard. There is much construction which precludes seeing much of the Savannah enclosures, refreshments/food very hard to get too, one entrance only (top only). So, through no fault of the zoo I think during COVID times I would go elsewhere. Perhaps when some of the restrictions that impact are lifted it would be worth it.... Sorry about that but the zoo is impacted in a big way but only my viewpoint.

If you are coming to Brisbane, you can hold a koala and get a photo taken at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary.

Hi, We are from the uk so not sure what your concession card is but I am sure if you mail the zoo direct they will tell you,as for what was good we were particularly looking forward to seeing the Aussie animals so the platipus and kangaroo and koalas were what we realy enjoyed but we had a great visit and would recommend it to anyone

You should have a reservation for the Zoo if you plan on any special tours or guides. Plus prebooking allows you entry into the cable car. Otherwise you have to take a bus ride to the ticket counter. As for the Ferry. No need for a reservation. Just walk up and use the opal card. The opal card is Sydney’s train, bus and ferry prepaid entry card. You just add funds to it as needed. Have a great time.

Why ask this on TripAdvisor?? Ask them directly.

There are animal encounter at specific time, but not sure they allow to feed or not

Yes there is quite a lot going on. It doesn't effect the overall experience but it's there.

Hi, cant answer your Koala part as we didn't do it, (due to the fact they have researched it and Koalas that have been handled too often in captivity are dying earlier due to stress, so some states have actually banned the handling of them)As for the tickets you can by a multi ticket online to visit a few different attractions, but we just bought them on the day as it was just as handy. Also if you get the taxi ferry to the Zoo and then the bus to the entrance you are right at the ticket office. Enjoy you trip!!
