Come and have a last ride with us

After 35 years of the high life, Taronga Zoo’s Sky Safari is retiring.

And what a fun filled 35 years it has been.

First installed to its iconic position in 1987 and then upgraded in 2000, the Sky Safari is one of Taronga's most loved experiences and has transported more than 20 million passengers over its lifetime - from Sydney locals, international guests and celebrities, (hundreds of thousands of Zoo Friends), to even a Royal or two. She’s starred in several of your favourite TV shows, including Who’s Who in the Zoo and Beauty and the Geek, and even carried the Olympic Torch for the Sydney Olympics in 2000. 

Time flies when you’re having fun, but the time has come for the Sky Safari to retire on 31 January 2023, and we’re sending her off in style. 

We’re inviting our Zoo Friends to come and enjoy a special VIP Twilight Ride on Monday 30th January from 5 – 7pm

  • Includes 1 x Roundtrip per family/group from Top Station only.  
  • Late opening of Zoo  
  • Top Plaza Retail and Café open until late.

It’s farewell for now, however this is just the beginning.
