One week down. (22 Dec 2009)
Taronga Zoo is amazing. We’ve been several times. Anyone coming to Sydney with the slightest interest in animals should fit it in. It can easily take all day so allow plenty of time. We got there around 11 am, and they were almost out of parking in their brand new parking ramp. There are a few live shows (seal and bird) that you might want to see, so plan accordingly. If you want to see one of the seal shows, get there 1/2 hour early.
I wish they’d figure out a way to either smudge proof glass or to encourage parents to keep their kids from smudging, licking, and/or snotting on the glass. (I’m thinking some form of painful electric current). Taronga offers push wheelchairs but it’s a large and somewhat hilly area and the chair had to be back by 4:00. We skipped most of the Australian animals since we’d been to Wildlife World and Symbio already. I think it’s kind of fun that while they have exhibits for native animals like the kookaburra or bearded dragon, you’re likely to see them just hanging out naturally in some of the other exhibits.
