Amazing zoo, love it!
It’s an okay place to spend some time if you have nothing else planned, but definitely not a must-see. If you’re travelling with more than one person, just take a cab instead of the boat—it works out cheaper and is much more convenient. Overall, good for killing time, but don’t expect too much.
Excellent zoo despite the rain, miles ahead compared to the other zoos in Sydney.
