Day trip to Sydney Zoo
/
Sydney Zoo houses over 30 exhibits with more than 4,000 animals, including exotic and native species like lions, tigers, zebras, giraffes, baboons, quokkas, Tasmanian devils, elephants and many more. It is the only combined zoo and aquarium in NSW and was thoughtfully designed to ensure the comfort of the animals and the guests. The zoo took us through Primate Boulevard, where we were greeted by baboons, chimpanzees, and ring-tailed lemurs. A leisurely stroll along the African Boardwalk allowed us to observe lions, hyenas, zebras, and picturesque savannah scenes within mixed-species habitats, including Sydney's only rhino!
One visitor was especially enchanted by the meerkats and their petite size. The zoo proudly features the world's largest reptile and nocturnal house, housing some of Australia's most venomous snakes. A standout moment of our visit was witnessing the adorable koalas and their charming joeys. We were able to explore the entire zoo in roughly two hours and returned to Bondi just as the weather began to shift for the worse. Overall, it was a fantastic day out and an absolute must-visit for animal lovers!
