点评:Taronga is one of the best zoos in Australia. The public ferry only cost $1 to get there (and back) and was an enjoyable ride. A great way to see the harbour. The directional signs at the zoo were hard to navigate (especially at the lower entrance) but the animal signs were informative and helpful. It was raining a lot but we found lots of places to shelter. There were also umbrellas and plastic rain ponchos for sale in the shops. We didn’t visit the Australian section at all and spent our whole day in the other side of the zoo.
The new lion habitat looks great! Lots of space and lots of places for people to see the lions, no matter where they are. Great to hear them roaring across the zoo too.
The new Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Centre is fantastic! I really enjoyed all the displays and great variety of animals. The alligator snapping turtle is very impressive!
We ate at the central cafe (near the old elephant habitat) and found the food delicious. The self service areas are easy to manage. There were lots of options (including vegan, gluten free etc.) and lots of places to sit.
The gift shops were well priced with a great range of merchandise.
The tiger area is excellent, and we were happy to see a tiger sleeping next to the glass! The video on a loop got a bit tired after a while though.
The hills and stairs are difficult to manage (even for young, relatively fit people) but there are escalators and lifts here and there.
All in all, a great zoo.
翻译:塔龙加动物园是澳大利亚最好的动物园之一。公共渡轮往返只需1澳元,非常愉快。这也是观赏海港的绝佳方式。动物园的方向指示牌很难辨认(尤其是在入口下方),但动物标牌信息丰富,很有帮助。虽然当时雨下得很大,但我们还是找到了许多可以躲雨的地方。商店里也出售雨伞和塑料雨披。我们根本没有去澳大利亚区,而是在动物园的另一边待了一整天。
新的狮子栖息地看起来很棒!空间很大,人们有很多地方可以看到狮子,无论它们在哪里。听到它们在动物园里咆哮也很棒。
新的两栖爬行动物保护中心太棒了!我非常喜欢所有的展览和种类繁多的动物。鳄鱼龟令人印象深刻!
我们在中央咖啡馆(靠近旧大象栖息地)吃饭,觉得那里的食物很美味。自助服务区很容易管理。有很多选择(包括纯素食、无麸质食品等等),还有很多座位。
礼品店价格合理,商品种类繁多。
老虎区很棒,我们很高兴看到一只老虎在玻璃旁边睡觉!不过,循环播放的视频看了一会儿就有点累了。
爬山和爬楼梯比较难(即使对于年轻、身体相对健康的人来说也是如此),不过园内到处都有自动扶梯和电梯。
总而言之,这是一个很棒的动物园。
