Experience Australia’s wildlife in the heart of Sydney

Begin your visit at the Butterfly Tropics, home to dazzling butterflies in a lush, tropical setting. Let their vibrant colors inspire your journey as you head deeper into Australia’s natural wonders recreated within WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo.

See rare and native species

Stop by the Devil’s Den to glimpse the elusive Tasmanian devils. Learn about conservation projects underway to protect this threatened species while observing them in a thoughtfully designed habitat. Nearby, you’ll find Wallaby Cliffs. Watch rock wallabies nimbly hop across rocky ledges and keep an eye out for wombats as they laze in cool burrows.

Koala encounters and memorable photos

At Koala Rooftop, get close to one of Australia’s best-loved animals. Enter the open-air enclosure to observe koalas up close—you’ll come away with incredible photos, thanks to your Digi Photo Pass included with admission. Knowledgeable staff are available to answer questions about their behaviors and ongoing preservation efforts.

Kangaroo Walkabout and immersive habitats

Continue your journey into the Kangaroo Walkabout, where you can stroll through a landscape where kangaroos roam freely. Enjoy the unique chance to observe and photograph these gentle animals just a few feet away in a setting designed to resemble their natural home. The emotional connection you make here is sure to be one of the highlights of your visit.

Aquatic marvels: Platypus and crocodiles

One of the zoo’s gems, Platypus Pools, offers a rare look at one of Australia’s shyest animals. Watch the platypus swim and dart about, an experience few places in the world offer. Then, make your way to Crocodile Billabong, where three massive freshwater crocodiles are on display. Multiple viewing levels let you see these powerful reptiles from above, eye level, and below the waterline.

Daintree Rainforest and exotic birds

Step into the Daintree Rainforest exhibit and immerse yourself among rich greenery. You might spot a Southern Cassowary, pademelons, and a variety of tropical birds that bring the forest to life. Along your walk, take in keeper talks and scheduled feedings. Not only do these offer additional insight into animal care and habitats, but they’re also perfect moments to use your Digi Photo Pass.

Seasonal highlights and new nocturnal residents

During school holidays, don’t miss the newly introduced nocturnal zone. Here, meet Crash and Hazel, the zoo’s adorable bandicoots debuted for the first time this season. Discover the special adaptations of these nocturnal marsupials for an educational and memorable encounter for visitors of all ages.
