Sydney Taronga Zoo

Taronga Zoo is a zoo in Mosman, a suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, on the shores of Sydney Harbour. The store is open from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

On October 7, 1916, it was formally inaugurated. Taronga Zoo Sydney, together with its sister zoo, the Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo, is operated by the Zoological Parks Board of New South Wales under the business name Taronga Conservation Society.

The 28-hectare (69-acre) Taronga Bio Sydney, which is divided into distinct zoogeographic areas, is home to more than 2,600 animals representing around 250 different species, making it Australia's biggest zoo. A zoo store, a café, and an information center are all located there.

Each day, there are over 20 keeper presentations and displays, and there are an estimated 4000 animals on site, with some enclosures offering views of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge.

The best method to get to the zoo is to take the Circular Quay boat, although you may alternatively drive along the Lower North Shore (not advised during peak hours). The zoo is located beside the River Torrens in the green belt to the north of Adelaide's CBD. Rundle Mall's east end is about a five-minute drive away. Adelaide's botanic garden is nearby, offering another sight of nature.

Cost of entry: $44.10 general admission, though you can save 10-20% by ordering through the Taroga Zoo website.
