What is WILD LIFE Sydney?

WILD LIFE Sydney is a wildlife attraction in Sydney, and its main selling point is convenience. This small, largely indoor zoo is in Darling Harbour – a short walk from Sydney city centre. That makes it very easy to reach, and very easy to add into a packed itinerary that involves visits to lots of other attractions.

What can I see at the Darling Harbour zoo?

If you visit this Darling Harbour zoo, the focus is on native Australian animals. It you want to see koalas, wombats, kangaroos and platypuses near Sydney city centre, then WILD LIFE Sydney is the easiest place to do so.

There are also several other less cute species, including snakes, freshwater crocodiles and southern cassowaries.
