Roar and Snore Taronga Zoo

Please note: for anyone like me who didn’t have a place to lock my carry on and had to bring it with me - Taronga Zoo does NOT have lockers either. You’ll have to bring your bags around as you explore.

Spent 4 hours here, but definitely could have spent a lot longer if I didn’t need to catch a flight! Best zoo I’ve been to. There’s so much to see and explore! Plus if you take a ferry, you get a nice view of the opera house and bridge.

A fabulous experience at the adults only wine tasting Roar and Snore. The staff were warm, friendly and knowledgeable. The glamping was very comfortable. The wine tasting and food matching was superb.

Everything about this experience was exceptional, from the friendly and knowledgeable guides, to the delicious dinner and comfortable tents, to (of course) the amazing animals.

We booked roar and snore as part of our honeymoon in Australia after falling in love with Taronga by watching Secrets of the Zoo. I cannot imagine a more perfect and more “us” way to start our adventure.

An amazing experience. We were really lucky to see all the animals so active, the staff were great and the food? Chefs kiss! Amazing.

I was expecting the experience to be a little more intimate, the group was full of families and rich entitled old people, so in that regard it was like a normal day at the zoo, looking at the back of other people's heads and feeling like u wanted to throat punch someone....

So that's my only complaint.... Wish tge group was smaller

Other than that, what An amazing night. Would definitely recommend!

My son and I stayed for the Roar and Snore...what a fantastic experience. I highly recommend this to families, couples, and singles, in fact, everyone. The staff were wonderful and made sure that everyone was safe, comfortable, and happy. Do yourself a favour and book, you won't be disappointed.

A truly amazing experience to get up close and personal with lots of animals. The guides are very informative, the food was fantastic and the views were sensational. Quite a few interactive surprises too!

Simply amazing! The staff was great and the whole experience was unforgettable.

Great views from our tent, the food was good (even as non meat eaters), the entertainment and different events was also great.

I recommend arriving slightly earlier than they ask. We arrived 30 mins before and got the chance to meet some zoo keepers who were holding snakes and lizards which was very cute!

I do recommend booking for a night where it's adult only, made the experience much more enjoyable not having loads of young kids around.

A wonderful once in a lifetime experience!
Glamping style tents with a phenomenal view of the harbour, canapés and welcome drinks, night time zoo tour with dinner and breakfast meals included. Plus a morning feeding of the giraffes and more behind the scenes tours before getting to spend the rest of the day in the zoo doing your own thing.
We were lucky enough to experience a performance by jazz musician James Morrison on the grounds as part of the Twilight at Toronga Festival while having dinner.
Over all a great experience for couples or families as both are catered for.
A big thanks to Nathan, Craig and Les who were our tours guides. Very informative, friendly, passionate and knowledgeable.

What an incredible experience! The guides are very knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. The accommodation and amenities are simple, clean and the African buffet food and drinks...amazing!
I loved waking up to the view of the city.
I expected more up close encounters but I'm still not disappointed!

The entire program was just incredibly amazing!!
Crew of Roar and Snore was so nice, professional, and passionate. Learned a lot about animals and how conservation works for them.
Also, the view from campsite was absolutely stunning!
Loved the experience!! Highly recommended for all my animal people, all the money goes directly to the conservation work they work on at the zoo.

Shout out to all the staff and keepers at the zoo, you made my trip❤❤

Any animal lovers - you must try this unique experience! For the price, I would suggest coming here for a special occasion like a birthday or anniversary. You are in good hands, be guided and kept entertained by numerous keepers throughout your stay. The buffet style dinner and breakfast is great! Good quality food and heaps of choice. The unlimited alcohol is a bonus! The two best parts of the experience is of course seeing the animals after the dark and in an empty zoo but also the breathtaking view of the Sydney city including the Harbour Bridge and Opera House from the glamping tent site. If you are able to secure #7 you are in luck because that is the best glamping tent spot!

What an amazing experience. The staff, Kat, Waz, Sarah and Allison were so friendly, organised and knowledgeable. Feeding the Giraffes was a lovely surprise and a great experience. The glamping area is well set out and the beds very comfy.
The view from the platform at the site is just stunning.
I would highly recommend doing this at one point.

Our experience at Taronga Park Zoo's "Roar & Snore" package was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we arrived on Saturday, March 9th, to our departure on Sunday, March 10th, every detail was meticulously planned and executed, making it an unforgettable way to celebrate my 60th birthday.

The first evening activities, including the twilight safari and nocturnal animal encounters, were entertaining and educational, making for a truly enriching experience.

The overnight stay in the tents was an absolute delight. We felt completely immersed in the wildlife experience, with the sounds of animals providing a soothing backdrop to our evening. The tents were cozy and comfortable, and the view over Sydney Harbour was just spectacular.

The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the zoo after hours. Getting up close and personal with some of the zoo's most fascinating inhabitants, including meeting the majestic giraffes and our time inside (yes inside!) the lion enclosure, was an experience I'll cherish forever.

The knowledgeable keepers & guides provided fascinating insights into the zoo's conservation efforts and animal care practices, adding depth to our appreciation of the incredible work being done at Taronga Park. Their passion for wildlife conservation was palpable, and their enthusiasm added an extra layer of magic to the entire experience.

In conclusion, Taronga Park Zoo's "Roar & Snore" package exceeded all our expectations and provided a truly memorable way to celebrate my birthday. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and immersive wildlife experience. Thank you to everyone at Taronga Park Zoo for an unforgettable weekend!

We did the Roar and Snore and had a great time. The zoo is also great and we'll ket

Amazing experience at Roar and Snore. What made it truly special though were the three guides who were with us throughout the program:-Rachel, Natalie & Sam. They had incredible energy and their passion for the animals and work was contagious. I did this with my 6 year old daughter and she had a blast. Unforgettable experience!

A lifelong visitor to Taronga - this behind-the-scenes experience makes it feel like a whole new place! There really isn't anything quite like the feeling of having a zoo to yourself, with the animals active at dawn and dusk and no screaming school kids.

The accommodation is comfortable - if you can't live without first class hotel trappings, book the alternative eco-lodge experience, but I'd rather listen to lions roaring and chimps arguing behind my tent. With a nice shower block and plentiful drinks and food, it's a big step above camping.

The passion and enthusiasm of Amy and her team of guides makes everything come alive as you pass by enclosures with torches at night. Thanks for making it memorable!

Bargain for the price to feed animals and get private keeper talks - it's topped off by a quiet evening drink with the best view in Sydney.

Locals and tourists alike, book it for your animal-loving partner.

Roar and Snore is incredible. The hosts were brilliant, friendly and knowledgeable. The night sessions (behind the scenes) and food/meals are awesome and then you get the rest of the day to spend in the zoo at your leisure. Highly recommend.

It was such a great experience to stay at the zoo for the whole night.
The package includes welcome drink (chips, cheese and Salamis etc.), buffet style dinner (African BBQ), morning tea and breakfast. My 6 years old boy loves it.
The most impressive part was the night zoo walk with the friendly experienced zoo keepers, they shared lots of interesting stories about those animals which cannot be discovered by the normal day visit or reading books. We also had exclusive tour in the next day morning as well.
We think it totally worth the money especially for your kids, suggest every family for the unforgettable event.

Roar and Snore is hands down one of the best experiences to do. We were greeted by amazing zookeepers and tour guides that were extremely friendly, welcoming and very fun to be around.

On our tour we were lucky to be guided by Tash, Tara, Sam, Mandy and Matt. They were very knowledgable about all the animals and kept our group excited and on the edge of our seats the enitre time!

The accomodation in the hut style tents was a really fun and awesome way to stay at the Zoo. The views from the campsite overlooking the city was simply amazing. The food was great, fresh and tasty!

We really enjoyed our time at roar and snore through having personal encounters with some amazing animals and learning new things. Would 100% reccommend. Thank you to everyone at Roar and Snore and Taronga Zoo!!

Highly highly recommend this experience! The keepers offer a wealth of knowledge and are so enthusiastic to teach you all about the animals you meet and see along the way. The accommodation is great & comfortable. The meals were delish. A very special experience!
