It feels like it's own island. The path begins at the top of a very tall "hill", and gently loops down through all the animals. We loved the organization - African Safari loop, Australiam creatures, the Reptile exhibit, and a few more.
The hands-down best was the Australian loop, specifically the koalas and kangaroos. This area was seemingly disappointing at first because I was heart-set on holding a koala. Apparently, they no longer allow that in NSW. However, it is possible in Queensland and Victoria (which has been noted for next time). The kangaroos were the redeeming part! They were basically free roaming along with wallabies and emus. If we had taken one single step off the path, we could have pet them.
Aside from the obvious animal attractions, Taronga was hosting art for Vivid Lights. There was beautiful animal art all over the place! We weren't terribly impressed by our Vivid experience in the gardens, but I truly would love to see these animals lit up at night.
The zoo was elaborate. It took us a solid four hours to make our was through. We were happy to have set aside the day to go. It was well worth the time (and money) spent.
P.S. The nicest lady took our photo. Of course, there's a deck that over looks the city. They do plan well around here.
