Discover 'Wild Pride' at Taronga Sydney! An LGBTQ+ friendly park with iconic harbor views, native wildlife, and a warm queer welcome.
About
Welcome to Taronga Sydney, where the wild meets the wonderful in the heart of Sydney, Australia. For travelers looking to add a touch of nature to their itinerary, this iconic park is much more than just a zoo; it’s a sanctuary of inclusion and conservation. A staple on any comprehensive global gay map, Taronga Sydney is a vocal supporter of the LGBTQ+ community, famously celebrating with their 'Wild Pride' float in the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. Whether you are visiting with a group of friends or exploring solo, you’ll find an exceptionally queer-friendly atmosphere overlooking the sparkling Sydney Harbour. Navigate the hillside to meet native Australian icons like koalas, wombats, and kangaroos in the Nura Diya precinct. For gay men and queer travelers seeking the ultimate photo op, the vantage points overlooking the Opera House and Harbour Bridge are world-class. Looking for a more immersive stay? The venue offers luxury eco-retreats and 'Roar and Snore' glamping experiences that are popular with the community. While the Sky Safari is currently undergoing a glow-up for 2026, accessible shuttles ensure you can explore every corner of this 28-hectare paradise. Just a scenic 12-minute ferry ride from Circular Quay, Taronga Sydney is a must-visit destination that proves pride is truly a force of nature.
