Roar and Snore at Taronga Zoo by:Cambridge Hotel
Sydney's zoo - Taronga Zoo - is situated on Bradley's Head and enjoys one of the most spectacular views of Sydney Harbour and the city
. This prime location forms an unrivalled backdrop for the enclosures and pens of all the animals that call Taronga Zoo home. Taronga Zoo's giraffes are particularly infamous for their unrivalled harbour view and their outstanding positioning for all Sydney events - most notably the fireworks display on New Year's Eve. Taronga Zoo repeatedly makes the list of the world's top zoos, not only for the incredible diversity of animal species it houses, but for the education, conservation, veterinary and research operations it undertakes. It has to be conceded that the location and view doesn't hurt either! Further, the cable cars that sail above the zoo offer views of the entire zoo and the breathtaking scenery of Sydney and Sydney Harbour.A visit to Taronga Zoo is included in many visitors to Sydney's 'To-do' list, particularly those travelling with small children. But did you know that you can do more than just visit the zoo? Visitors can now spend the night at the zoo, at its amazing location and amongst all the animals.
Visitors who decide to take the Zoo 'Roar & Snore' overnight stay will camp amongst the animals in luxury, purpose built tent accommodation and enjoy up-close and personal animal encounters that only overnight campers get to enjoy. Enjoy the sunrise and sunset from the stunning situation of the tents which overlook Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House. It's certainly a Sydney accommodation option with a twist! You'll get to go behind the scenes of the zoo and experience all it has to offer before the crowds arrive. Dinner, breakfast and behind the scene tours are all included in the price.
Once you've stayed in this premier harbour side location, why not look for other accommodation deals? Surry Hills, Darlinghurst and other inner city suburbs offer accommodation that will be markedly different from that at Taronga Zoo, and allow visitors to explore and enjoy all the different sides, faces and experiences that Sydney has to offer.
Interesting facts about Taronga Zoo
The Zoo was officially opened on October 7th, 1916.
The original site of the Zoo was in Moore Park, and when the location changed to Bradley's Head, many animals - including the elephants - crossed the harbour on board a flat top barge.
Taronga Zoo is managed by the Zoological Parks Board of New South Wales, the same board that manages Dubbo's Taronga Western Plains Zoo.
Divided into eight zoo-geographic regions, Taronga Zoo is home to over 2,600 animals on 21 hectares, making it one of the largest of its kind.
