    After a visit of the zoo, you should visit this souvenir store. However the rage of stuff is mainly the fluffy toys.. I hope the zoo should develop the fancy stuff more than now. Finally, I did purchase only several pencils. quite normal as others.

    (Translated by Google) I do not know how it is organized now but during my visit in 2002 I was very impressed with the arrival in the park which was done in cabin of bubble cable car, we passed us a few meters of the soil among the felines. The only place where you can approach a kangaroo outside a restaurant between two loaves of toast (Rouburguer) or crushed down the side of the transcontinental highways. (Original) Je ne sais pas comment il est organisé à présent mais lors de ma visite en 2002 j'avais été très impressionné des l'arrivée dans le parc qui se faisait en cabine de téléphérique bulle, on nous faisait passer à quelques metres du sol parmis les félins. Le seul endroit où on peut approcher un kangourou en dehors d'un restaurant entre 2 pains toastés (Rouburguer) ou en descente de lit écrasé au bords des grandes routes transcontinentales.

    My 3 year old grandson chose an item but we were declined the sale as I had cash (the exact amount!). This ruined what had been an exciting and magic adventure for him, and frankly ruined my day as well. A totally absurd and arbitrary decision on the part of management. #ShameOnYou

    Excellent collection, quality stuff, great experience. The shop, by far, is the best that I've seen. It's a compact place but has a range from pin to elephant, quite literally. You can by pins and brooches for as low as AUD 6 to the king size giraffe for AUD 500 and above. The staff is attentive & friendly, well informed. The place is next to the food place that serves good items for refreshing to continue your shopping. Wish them all the very best!

    Everything looked lovely but there were far too many exhibits with no animals as they were "making the enclosure more suitable". There was only 1 Cafe open to purchase food and not much variety when you finally got to the counter. Have definitely had better times at the zoo than my recent visit. Bit disappointing.

  • 5/5 Meeky M. 2 years ago on Google
    Very cute. High prices typical of a zoo but a nice variety of souvenirs. Some really cute plushies and kits to build brick animals in particular.

  • 5/5 Michael W. 5 years ago on Google
    Great souvenirs especially for children. Also many of merchandise tells you what kind of wild life you are supporting. This means that it is a bit more expensive so up to the consumer if this is worth it.

  • 5/5 Michelle W. 4 years ago on Google
    Zoo gift shop bliss full with presents ideal for family or children alike.

  • 4/5 Bean 2 years ago on Google
    The plush toys are very high quality and although they may be a little on the expensive side, it is totally worth it for a quality product.

  • 5/5 Tika P. 4 years ago on Google
    The collection was crazy! It's high quality, the staff is nice and the stuff is totally worth the price.

    Want to keep a souvenir? Hop in to the Zoo Shop and choose from hundreds of different souvenirs.

  • 5/5 Pietro S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very large gift with the usual items you would expect. Large array of soft toys to choose from for the children.

  • 1/5 Sheezy 1 year ago on Google
    Lot of single use plastics. Pretty hypocritical for a place that is all about conservation.

    Great variety and excellent service inexpensive also

  • 3/5 Mitch A. 1 year ago on Google
    Stopped in at the Taronga Zoo gift shop on my way out of the zoo. The shop is filled with lots of soft plushy toys. The prices are exactly as you would expect from gift shops similar to these. I did manage to find a patch for $2.95 to add into my collection. If you are into patch collecting they only have one design available.

    Nice view and the Cafe has good coffee.

  • 5/5 Steve M. 1 year ago on Google
    We really love the detail in the products here, stuffed animals are really fantastic and the kids love them.

  • 3/5 Gary Y. 11 months ago on Google
    Expensive people, I understand it is a "Not For Profit" organisation, but common sense has to prevail!! People have already spent a fortune on entry fees, feeding the billylids and oneself on expensive takeaway meals, and other ancilliary costs!!

  • 5/5 Peter Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Great gift shop. Lots of different things to buy teeshirts fluffy toys of most of the animals in the zoo. Great for gifts at this time of the year

    Non profit organisation. Help them by buying in Zoo Shop.

  • 4/5 Lillian H. 3 years ago on Google
    Not too crowded. Mostly families. The chimpanzee groups were just like us on a grey day lounging around, preening and sleeping. The giraffes were fantastical to see, their long, long legs and necks watching us watching them. The baby on the ground under mum's legs. Lillian

    Always full of great momentos and souvenirs. Love the sustainability products as well as the ethically made items.

  • 3/5 Nick C. 3 years ago on Google
    If you have young kids, you probably won't be able to get past the Zoo shop on your way out. Lots of cute cuddly toys, over-priced of course, so be prepared for a surprise at the till.

  • 3/5 Chris D. 3 years ago on Google
    Overpriced but good variety of things to buy. Hopefully the money goes back to the animals

  • 4/5 Penelope D. 3 years ago on Google
    Finally made it to the zoo with the kids and we had a fantastic day. Just a small hiccup with purchasing tickets, doesnt state on the website that its only online bookings. Not giving it 5 stars only because of Covid restrictions and we couldnt enjoy more live shows.

  • 5/5 Monica R. 3 years ago on Google
    My kids love this zoo, I can't argue with that we had lot's of fun here.
