Taronga Zoo might be one of the best-located zoos in the world with stunning views over Sydney Harbour, but dig a little deeper and you’ll see that this century-old institution has evolved into a world-leading conservation organization dedicated to securing a future for wildlife and people.

Taronga is not-for-profit, so whether you visit, stay overnight, donate, become a Zoo Parent, book an unforgettable behind-the-scenes experience or buy a gift for a loved one, every dollar you spend helps save wildlife.
Did you know you can also stay at Taronga to not only have close access to the animals but to base yourself on exploratory trips around Sydney and its greater surrounds? Nor did I.
Join me, Professor Goway, Monika Townsend, Trade Marketing Manager, Nic Boyle, Executive Director, Taronga Sydney as they discuss how Taronga has evolved from a school outing for Ozzie kids, to a multiple-day experience!
