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.

Please note that due to the high demand for this event the wait times for the Sky Safari round trip may be longer than normal. We appreciate your patience on the night as we celebrate Sky Safari’s retirement.
It’s farewell for now, however this is just the beginning.
