We visited the new Sydney Zoo! Here is what you need to know

Sydney Zoo is located in the heart of Western Sydney with great transport access and minutes away from key locations and other entertainment attractions.

Sydney Zoo includes approximately 30 exhibits and a variety of animal species, including highly popular exotic and Australian animals. It also includes a show arena, picnic areas, wetlands, waterways and gardens, gift shops, restaurants, cafes, kiosks and other amenities.

The zoo is home to all your favourite exotic and native animals, Australia’s largest Reptile and Nocturnal house, Sydney’s only zoo and aquarium all in one, and has been designed with no hills or steps, making it accessible to those using wheelchairs or mobility scooters (and prams too).

Sydney Zoo would be on par in size with Auckland and Perth zoos and twice Adelaide Zoo’s size but smaller than Taronga Zoo. It is also larger than the long-established Featherdale Wildlife Park a few kilometres away in Doonside.
