WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo

You don't have to venture into the outback to see Australia's very own 'big five'. Head to WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo and you'll see kangaroos, koalas, wombats, crocodiles, and platypus. Make your way through ten habitat zones where you can get close to a huge array of animals - from cuddly to creepy. And, get a snap with Australia's iconic mascot, the teddy bear-like koala.

You'll also have access to plenty of zookeeper talks, feedings and animal encounters throughout the day, so pick up a schedule on your way in to make sure you don't miss out
