One of Sydney’s best animal attractions. The NEW Sydney Zoo in Western Sydney is home to over 4,000 native and exotic animals, 5 iconic precincts, an Aquarium and Australia’s largest Reptile and Nocturnal house.

Get even closer to your favourite animals with an encounter. Take a walk through the new Koala Trail and snap a photo with Australia’s most iconic animal, stand tall next to a giraffe, feed a mob of mischievous meerkats and more.
See Sydney’s only rhino explore his habitat and wallow in the mud, watch playful kangaroo joeys play, or see the zoo from a different view with a ride on the giant Ferris wheel.

Located only 40 minutes from the city, en route to the famous Blue Mountains, this award-winning attraction is not to be missed.

Sydney Zoo was designed to be accessible and inclusive for all guests, with no hills or steps, for everyone to have a good time.
