After waiting at the Zoo for the ferry for 2 hours, we purchased our own ferry tickets back, to see that an email was sent at 11.30am to advise no ferry's back. This is extremely poor of Fantasea, no refund. Upon some more research discovered its cheaper to buy tickets directly through Zoo website & catch regular ferry & not just slightly cheaper, over $60 for a family of 4. pretty disappointing to be honest

Good day at Taronga zoo. Unfortunately the cable car is not operational ( I think it is being replaced and will be out of action for 2 years) no mention of this when booking tickets on the website. When I got off the ferry I got the bus to the top entrance and walked down through the zoo and got the return ferry back to circular quay at the bottom of the big hill, which was a good idea as it is a long climb to the top. A lot of the animals were not out, which again is disappointing, but views are great from the zoo, lots of shaded areas if you want to take a break from the sun. I went during the week so avoided the big crowds, the zoo is very easy to get around.

Cute little zoo, pretty crowded, enclosures need to be cleaned, staff very friendly, meetings with Coala and giraffes have to be booked separately (sometimes exorbitantly expensive!) You get a little insight into Australia's wildlife
