Zoos and wildlife in Sydney

Sydney is one of the best places in the world to see some extraordinary wildlife. Most creatures that hop, skip, burrow and crawl across the land or swim underwater can be found in zoos and aquariums here, but you can spot them in their natural environment too.

Introduce your children to animals from around the globe with Sydney's glimmering harbour backdrop at Taronga Zoo Sydney in Mosman; it's the zoo with a view. Featherdale Wildlife Park, just a 40 minute drive from Sydney, features more than 2,200 animals from over 300 species including fairy penguins and a 4.5 metre saltwater crocodile. You can have your photo taken cuddling a koala or hand feeding kangaroos.

Sydney Aquarium and Oceanworld Manly are hotspots for viewing aquatic life at close quarters without getting wet. Between May and November, catch a cruise tour with Manly Whale Watching and spot migrating whales around Sydney, Manly and Northern beaches.
