Amazing! The zoo is great and there is one whole section devoted to local animals. The kangaroos and other animals just roam freely for the most part. I had looked for inexpensive tickets and found t…Full review by 717alw

An easy busy ride from downtown, brought us to an extensive and well-laid out zoo, easy to follow the trails and take in all the exhibits. The animals looked to be well-cared for. Highlights for us…Full review by jonfF6639NX

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.

A:
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.

Q:
Can we hug a koala at this zoo?

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