    I wonder if they've done it because the forecast is 35 degree temperatures for the next week and no one is going to the zoo right now?

    • syousef on 24/01/2019 - 07:45

      Actually the queue on the Tiger "exhibit" is an hour long. Personally I'd rather a large viewing area and more time with the Tigers than a fake plane ride and an hour wait followed by being rushed through a crowded exhibit. Zoo management have lost the plot.

  • Doowyah on 23/01/2019 - 10:05

    I’ve heard that quite a few exhibits are closed due to renovations at the moment. Can anyone who has been recently confirm?

    • pugrobot on 23/01/2019 - 10:39

      Have been recently and yes, most of the exhibits are closed and it's really quite a boring experience. Just like walking through a construction site. If you've been to Melbourne Zoo or any of the other ones in Victoria (Healesville for example), it really blows Taronga out of the water right now. Asked management and they said construction won't be done for another year. Would not recommend it at the moment unless you're really short on places to go in Sydney.

        Yes, thank you for the 'heads-up" I was about to purchase tickets for the family but it doesn't sound like a worthwhile deal.

    • gloomyash on 23/01/2019 - 10:51

      Yes - a lot of exhibits are closed but I guess they try to make up for it with the dinosaur attractions at the moment.

    • salette on 23/01/2019 - 11:07

      I went on New Year's Day and it was still a great experience for myself. We saw the gorillas, chimps, giraffes, tigers, elephants.. all the sea animals.. the birds.
      Essentially, every animal exhibit listed on the map was there and open.

      https://taronga.org.au/sites/default/files/content/maps/TZMa…

      As the map indicates, the only construction site is across from the chimpanzee enclosure. This is the 'Savannah' exhibit, so we didn't see any lions on the day. But I guess they won't be there until 2020 - when that exhibit opens. Hope that is helpful!

      I also read one comment mentioning there are no tigers - they are certainly there! You just need to line up for the 'TIger Trek' - it simulates a plane ride going to Indonesia. I found it a bit odd that this was the only 'closed' enclosure but I figure this was just to limit the amount of people entering the exhibit at one time. There were times in the day when the line was quite long, however we went after a quick lunch and it was only a 3 minute wait. :)

      It was just me and my boyfriend that went so we didn't stop once for any of the dinosaur attractions, however a lot of the kids were quite enthralled with them.

      EDIT: another commenter linked the closures, so I guess I lied when I said every exhibit is open. The only animal that is currently off display are Tasmanian Devils.

    Only applies to individual tickets, not the family ones.
    Adult $42.30
    Children $24.30
    Concession $33.30

    $118.40 for a family ticket (2 adults and 2 children, or $88.80 with the equivalent individual tickets.

    • yjun355 on 23/01/2019 - 10:39

      So $42.30 is after 40% discount?

        Sorry, those are the standard prices. Discounted prices are:

        Children $16.20

      They've changed since the 1880's. They even use the money on conservation efforts and to fight extinction.

    • pdtmathieson on 23/01/2019 - 11:09

      Agree with @Bargain_knight, the zoos in Melbourne at least are your Victorian era Colonial showcase, there is a strong focus on conservation, preservation and education. Animals have plenty of space. Some of the old school cages are still there, but not used for those animals anymore - I think the old cages that used to hold a couple of lions now hold birds that have heaps of space.

    • annyfication on 23/01/2019 - 15:20

      Taronga Zoo has a strong emphasis on taking great care for their animals. Animals such as rhinos or tigers are being poached to extinction. Their chances of survival is minimal in the wild. But humans are not going to stop with their urban sprawl and deforestation is not happening either.

        Shocking. Everyone knows that the best way to cook tiger and rhino is sous vide.

    Went to the zoo about a month ago. Very disappointing experience. The zoo was going under refurbishment and half the exhibits were closed. No lions, tigers and many others. It was very sad.

    Just came back from Melbourne where their zoos (both Melbourne and Werribee) were free for kids during school holidays and weekends.

    Taronga's pricing structure shows they clearly don't want visitors.

    • bargain_knight on 23/01/2019 - 11:25

      Yes Melbourne is generally awesome!

    I am not getting 40% off. this is what I get when I enter the code:
    $42.30 - $14.10 = $28.20
    It should be minus $16.92
    is everyone getting the same as me?

    • angusngon9 on 23/01/2019 - 11:51

      It's 40% off the door price of $47 (I believe)
      The online code is already 10% off by default

    "discounted tickets are strictly limited and are only valid for redemption between 23 January 2019 – 3 February 2019."

    I just tried purchasing the tickets and couldn't see anywhere that states you need to use it between those dates.

    • jcccen on 23/01/2019 - 12:51

      What does your ticket look like - does it show the discounted price you bought it for or no price?

      • ulti on 23/01/2019 - 14:31
        +1

        Just purchased. The tickets state that it is valid for 6 months. And has no pricing info on the ticket.
        So I think this is an awesome deal. And looks like the redemption period applies to when you can use the promo code, rather than when you can use the ticket you've purchased.

      • newbargainer on 23/01/2019 - 16:27

        says valid till July 22 2019

          I bought one today and it's a very basic receipt/ticket with a barcode/scan, ticket number, name, email and expiry date: my expiry date is August 2, 2019. I assume as long as you use the code before it expires then the ticket is good Until the ticket expiry date on the ticket purchased. Cheers

    Now I can see why the Zoo's offering cheap prices. Scoopon/Cudo offering Zoo Friends Annual Pass package for $99 and with the 10% promo codes, it comes down to $89.10.

    So what's there to see at the zoo with all the construction and changes happening? Stuff the dinosaurs, I'm after live real animals.

  • Bettyboo on 23/01/2019 - 13:15

    I would prefer to buy the annual pass which is less than $100 more via Scoopon and Cudo.

  • Randomologist on 23/01/2019 - 14:50

    Pretty sure i know the answer to this but im going in mid-February. Does 'redeem by 3/2/19' mean that you have to visit the park by then or buy tickets for a certain day by then? i would imagine enter the park by then right?

    Fair warning. We went 2 weekends ago, trying to get value for our ZooFriends passes. There's a lot of construction going on and lots of the exhibits are closed. Taronga Zoo is large, so there's still quite a bit to see but it's not the value it usually is, and the exhibits that are open are theme park line up busy. Lots of the construction is scheduled not to be complete until the end of the year.

    Edit: I see there are similar comments above. Leaving mine as it mentions this will continue for the rest of the year, and the queues.

  • kaykay4 on 24/01/2019 - 11:42

    sounds like you can upgrade to annual pass for $19.

      "Day tickets cannot be upgraded against discounted online membership prices (at-gate rates apply)."

    • BloodyOath on 24/01/2019 - 17:37

      That's the cost of upgrading 1 adult day ticket and 2 child day tickets to a family pass. Anyone know the cost of upgrading an adult ticket to an adult annual pass?
