With Roar and Snore, you will have a unique opportunity to get close to some of the zoo’s residents that you won’t get with a regular zoo visit. We thoroughly enjoyed the walk around the zoo with the knowledgeable guides as well as the food and the overnight stay overlooking the Harbour Bridge and Opera House. Roar and Snore is an all-weather program and on the day of our visit, we were provided with ponchos as there were light showers. Complimentary parking in Taronga’s multi-storey car park is provided for all Roar & Snore guests. Last but not least, enjoy spending the following day exploring the zoo at your own pace with complimentary admission included with your booking! Book your Roar and Snore adventure here.
