- WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo

The best way to say "G'day" to Australia's native animals is to visit Sydney Wildlife Zoo, featuring over 1 kilometer of glass-enclosed walkways, making it the world's largest indoor wildlife park. Here you'll find all of Australia's star animals you can imagine, with animal feeding and shows throughout the day. You can have close encounters with cuddly koalas and adorably silly kangaroos.

I went to Sydney Wildlife World - it's really small. Since I couldn't pet the kangaroos and wombats at Taronga Zoo, I tried my luck at Wildlife World, which claims to specialize in native Australian animals. Well, turns out kangaroos need to rest during the day - they just lay there quietly, not wanting to interact. Only at 4 PM daily is there a scheduled "walkout talk" when you can feed and pet the kangaroos. There are also specific times when you can have close encounters with other animals. So it's better to check the official website for detailed schedules before visiting.
