Sydney Zoo

Sydney Zoo is a modern zoological park located at Bungarribee in the City of Blacktown, Western Sydney, New South Wales, within the Western Sydney Parklands. Opened in December 2019 on a 16.5-hectare site, it houses more than 4,000 animals across African, Asian, Australian and aquatic precincts. Notable for its large aquarium, nocturnal house and immersive walk-through habitats, it focuses on wildlife conservation, education and accessible visitor experiences.

Visitors can expect a large, flat, open-air zoo with themed precincts including African savanna, Asian elephants and primates, Australian bushland, and an aquarium. Exhibits feature lions, elephants, giraffes, tigers, chimpanzees, kangaroos and koalas, plus a nocturnal house and reptile and aquarium displays. The site has wide paved pathways, boardwalks, shaded picnic areas, food outlets and a gift shop, with walk-through enclosures, keeper talks and close-up animal encounters available throughout the day.

Sydney Zoo opened to the public on 7 December 2019 on a 16.5-hectare site in the Bungarribee Precinct of Western Sydney Parklands. Developed as Western Sydney's first major zoo, it was established to provide a new wildlife conservation, education and tourism facility for Greater Sydney, complementing existing zoos in the region.

The zoo has cultural and educational significance as a conservation-focused attraction that promotes awareness of Australian and international wildlife, supports breeding and conservation programs, and offers Aboriginal cultural experiences and educational programs for schools and community groups.
