Taronga Zoo

"Sydney's zoo, in a natural bush area on the harbor's north shore, houses an extensive collection of Australian fauna, including everybody's favorite marsupial, the koala." Full review

"Arriving by ferry and then being whisked by cable car high above the animals is the way to make an entrance to this sensational harborside zoo."

"A 12-minute ferry ride from Circular Quay or a short drive from Manly, Taronga Zoo has 75 hectares of bushy harbour hillside chock-full of kangaroos, koalas and similarly hirsute Australians." Full review

"Taronga has the best view of any zoo in the world. Set on a hill, it looks out over Sydney Harbour, the Opera House, and the Harbour Bridge." Full review

"It's beautifully laid out, the paths are wide and meandering, and – most importantly – the place is full of animals." Full review
