About this tour
Meet Australian wildlife up close on this two-hour backstage tour at Sydney Taronga Zoo, limited to six visitors per group. A zoo keeper guides you through restricted areas where you'll hand-feed wallabies, photograph koalas, and hear firsthand accounts of animal behaviour and conservation work. Your ticket includes all-day zoo access, so you can explore exhibits at your own pace before or after the guided experience.

What to expect
Your keeper will collect you at a designated meeting point and lead your small group into areas where daily animal care happens. Expect close-range encounters—you'll be touching and feeding animals rather than viewing from behind barriers. The keeper shares practical information about diet, habitat needs and breeding programmes as you move between enclosures. The pace is leisurely; there's time for questions and photos. The two-hour session finishes by mid-morning or early afternoon, leaving your afternoon free to revisit favourite exhibits or explore sections you missed.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes and sun protection. Let the zoo know about mobility needs before arrival so they can adjust the route. Public transport reaches the zoo easily. Bring a camera or phone for photos. The zoo is fully accessible for wheelchairs and prams.
