The WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo is one of the most popular spots on Darling Harbour, and in Sydney. This is hardly a surprise given that it’s a zoo - animals make nigh on any setting that much better. Aside from being a well-loved fixture in Sydney throughout the year with children and children-at-heart alike, WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo also spends much of its time moonlighting as a versatile and high-quality function venue. The spaces available within the zoo for functions are the Kangaroo Walkabout, Koala Rooftop, and the Croc Deck. Each is unique and striking in its own way, complete with native trees, open-air vibes, and of course, animals. Functions - whether cocktail-style or for dinner, private or corporate - are able to book in access to enclosures before celebrations kick-off. WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo and the team at Merlin Entertainments can accommodate cocktail events, sophisticated dinners, corporate presentations, as well as family fun days. The WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo is found on Darling Harbour, right by the Aquarium Ferry Wharf, and a short walk from Pyrmont Bridge. Of course, that also means the WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo is a stroll away from a whole host of Sydney’s most notable spots and sights.

The Koala Rooftop is a bit of a sight to behold - mostly because of the trees and koalas. That's right, given that this is in fact, a zoo, expect functions and events to be in the same vicinity as actual koalas. The koalas perch in the tr...

It’s a quaint zoo with a ton to offer. I did not expect a zoo this small to have multiple animals on display, so it was a feast for the eyes and brain much appreciated not only by kids but those with a major interest in science. They have free animal talks and paid-for close-up experiences too which you can enjoy depending on your preference. They have discussed how some of them were rescued and rehabilitated which matters a lot especially in the changing climate. I do hope they maintain the proper care of their animals and give them the appropriate treatment they all deserve.

We visited this morning for Koala Breakfast and it was absolutely fantastic experience! The tour was so informative and we got to see so many wonderful animals up and close :) Our tour guide Brooke is excellent! You can tell how passionate she is about her role. Breakfast was simple yet delicious. Not sure how many people were on the tour, but it didn't feel crowded at all which was lovely. So happy with the experience!

personally, i didn’t buy tickets prior to entering. The wait for a ticket was none existent which was good. The zoo itself was very busy but due to the size this wasn’t a problem with seeing any of the animals. Gorgeous layout, easy to navigate with the maps you get given. Staff are all lovely and helpful too. Would definitely recommend to visit here!

If you're keen on seeing Australian animals and you're pressed for time, this zoo is the place to be. It's a compact, well-maintained indoor zoo, making it perfect for a quick visit. The animals here seem to be in excellent condition, noticeably better than those in other zoos I've visited. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a quality wildlife experience without the long walk.

- Next to Sea Life Sydney Aquarium. - The zoo is a bit small, with few animals but is quite clean and cool. - If you want to interact with animals like kangaroos and koalas, you will have to pay an additional fee. - You should buy tickets in advance through apps to get a cheaper price. - It takes about 1 hour to visit here.
