Find the Best Wildlife in Sydney Australia



A visit to Australia is simply not complete until one has at least spied a koala a single time. But for visitors heading to busier city areas like Sydney, a trek into the wilderness to explore nature sometimes just isn’t in the cards. Thankfully, in addition to being the home to a number of different cultural attractions one expects to find in a big city, Sydney is also the home to some of the finest zoos and animal sanctuaries in the world. With most of them offering up special habitats dedicated only to the animals of Australia, everything from scary snakes to cuddly koalas can be seen--from a safe distance, of course.

For the natives of Australia’s lakes, rivers, and seas, nothing beats a trip to the Sydney Aquarium, located right on the picturesque Darling Harbor, site of a great deal of the city’s current gentrification. Whether nature lovers are interested in finding out more about the habitats under the sea or simply getting to walk through a tunnel surrounded by sharks swimming, the Sydney Aquarium is an exciting stop for aquatic adventures. It is also one of the only places in the world that you’re going to get to see a platypus swim, so making the time to go explore the exciting underwater world of the Sydney Aquarium is definitely a must.

For something known for inspiring a mix of fear and awe only on land, the Australian Reptile Park is a hugely popular stop. Located outside of Sydney in Somersby, this is not just a spot where visitors can see one of the largest collections of Australian reptiles, from turtles to snakes. It is also a crucial spot for health and safety purposes, being one of the only creators and suppliers of anti-venom. The reptile park estimates that its crucial doses of anti-venom have saved tens of thousands of lives, so just having the chance to learn more about how it is harvested and created is worth the trip alone!

For a Sydney accommodation that houses the widest variety of different creatures, look no further than Taronga Zoo, which boasts eight different diverse climate zones and thousands of different animals, including some that you can’t see anywhere else. Australia-specific regions include those devoted to the wildlife in the sea, in the rainforest, and out in the outback. Expect to see kangaroos, wallabies, platypuses, and one of the largest koala habitats in the entire country. A huge hit with children and adults alike, Taronga Zoo is one of the most visited zoos in the entire world, and a major tourist attraction for anyone with an affinity for nature and wildlife.

In the same category, a major contender is now on the scene for those interested in exploring the wildlife of Australia. Wildlife World, which is being incorporated into the space at the Sydney Aquarium, also enjoys a beautiful harbor-front location and some excellent funding. The entire space is inside and air-conditioned, a first for a zoo and animal habitat. Divided into different sections depending on regions in Australia and the rest of the world, Wildlife World is famous for it’s “snake walk,” where visitors can walk down a kilometer-long stretch of encased habitats for a truly astonishing amount of different types of snakes.
