A Must for Zoo Fans

Luci 19 June 2026

Roar and Snore is a must do for both local and overseas visitors. We had a great time. You could not fault any of the experience. From the moment we arrived and were greeted by our Zoo hosts, Bridie and Lilly, we were treated to an unforgettable experience. Our bags were taken to the glamping tents by the Zoo staff and we had a great night exploring the zoo and finding which animals were awake. Lilly and Bridie were so knowledgeable about all the animals and were friendly and answered questions. In between the zoo walk we were given great food and drinks, and then settled into the warm and comfy glamping tents with an amazing view over the harbour. The amenities were lovely and clean and comfortable, as were our glamping tents. The morning was the best part as all the animals were coming awake and hungry for breakfast, so we had 3 hours of quiet zoo time to watch the keepers at work and see what goes on behind the scenes with feeding and cleaning the animal exhibits before the zoo opened. Overall, I could not rate this highly enough. It was a memorable experience and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to create special memories. We found it very peaceful and relaxing as well. 10/10 experience.

It’s not a hotel…

Name 15 February 2026

They offer different types of accommodation. This is not at all similar to the wildlife retreat hotel rooms. Ridiculous price to sleep in a tent, with zero privacy and shared facilities 🤮

Customer Experience

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the accommodation didn’t meet your expectations. Our tented option is designed as a more rustic, shared‑facility experience, which we understand isn’t for everyone. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know, and we’ll be sure to pass your comments on to our team.

An unforgettable experience

Alexandra 14 July 2025

My husband and I had the best time at Roar and Snore! It was such a unique and memorable way to experience the zoo. Being there after hours, when the crowds are gone and the animals are more active, felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. The evening tour gave us a special glimpse into the zoo’s behind-the-scenes magic, and waking up to the sounds of wildlife as the sun rose was truly unforgettable. The accommodations were surprisingly comfortable and well thought out — a great blend of camping and convenience. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, and their stories and insights really deepened our appreciation for the animals and the conservation work the zoo is doing. We especially loved the calm and peaceful atmosphere in the early morning and evening — it felt like a completely different zoo compared to visiting during the day. If you're looking for a unique overnight experience, whether you're an animal lover or just want a little adventure, I can't recommend Roar and Snore enough. It was an absolute treat!

Julie 6 June 2025

We spent the night at Taronga Zoo Roar & Snore last night, cold nigh. But tents were comfy and we had electric blankets. Waking up to roaring lions and screeching chimpanzees was awesome. Dinner and breakfast were great plenty of food beer wine and drinks, If you love coffee my suggestion is drink tea. My hi lite was hand feeding the giraffes love love loved it.

Roar and Snore with a splash of Vivid

Stuart 5 June 2025

Roar and snore alone was an amazing experience that my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed. Getting up close and personal with the animals and highly knowledgeable staff made for an unforgettable time. Add to that the bonus of Vivid being on on Sydney at the moment and the amazing views over the lit up harbour Bridge and Sydney city and you cannot go wrong!
