Loved it!! I recommend buying the combo ticket it’s worth it. The lady with the Koala’s was so friendly and answered all of our questions. We got some lovely photos with the Koala’s that we will cherish forever.

My 4 year old grandson loves this place. The zoo keepers were exceptional – friendly, happy to talk to children and to explain things to them. Thank you to Jess etc (wish I could remember all your names).

We loved Wild Life Sydney Zoo!! There was alot of excitement as we walked around discovering the animals. It is only quite small so only takes a small amount of time to look at everything. Staff are friendly and interacted with everyone. A lovely place to visit- we had a great time.

Every visit to this place is amazing. One place for entertainment, food, recreational activities, shopping with a skyline view of skyscrapers. It’s one end is hep, flashy with lots of bars and other end is calming, soothing. With the current Christmas lights it’s more beautiful.

I couldn’t stop myself for coming here again and again. This garden have it’s own charisma. In every corner you would found a little gem. Perfect place to breath and take a small gateway from city. You can smell the fresh breeze while enjoying sunset over Sydney Opera House. It so refreshing and calming.

Lovely botanical garden. It has a lot of native Australian plants and definitely well maintained. It is situated at a very conviennent location next to the circular quay, the art gallery of new south whales near the ferry and train station. It is big and lots of lovely locations to have a run, walk, a workout and picnic. They also have a nice cafe/restaurant inside the garden. Definitely recommend a visit.

This place is always worth visiting. The theme changes at least twice a year, and are always magnificent. I gave 4 stars only because this theme, “Inside the Tide” wasn’t as visually appealing to me as some of the past exhibits they’ve done. It’s still worth seeing, the attention to detail is always amazing, and it’s educational as well.

The current displays were great, sea life and desert was very clever and well set out. Not huge but you can spend 10 minutes viewing. Shop sold varied gifts and staff were extremely friendly and helpful. As at 18 February the coffee shop was closed.
