All-You-Can-Eat Dumplings at Koala Rooftop
Eat endless dumplings on the zoo's koala rooftop at sunset.
Overview
Dumplings are great, but have you ever eaten bottomless bowls of them surrounded by koalas on a rooftop at sunset? No? Well, that's exactly what you can do at Wild Life Sydney's Koala Rooftop when it teams up with dumpling experts New Shanghai for a series of all-you-can-eat feasts.
Coinciding with Lunar New Year, the dumpling sessions run at 6pm, 7pm and 8pm daily from Wednesday, January 22–Thursday, January 30. Tickets will set you back $50, which includes 30 minutes of endless dumplings and after-hours access to the zoo. Dumplings will include the likes of prawn and pork wontons, chicken and celery parcels, xiao long bao and vego numbers.
It's suggested you get to the Darling Harbour zoo 45–60 minutes before your eating session, so you have plenty of time to visit the other animals — including kangaroos, crocodiles, wombats and platypus — and make your way up to the Koala Rooftop. You can also hang around after your eating marathon until the zoo closes at 9pm.
As an added bonus, Wild Life will be donating $5 from each ticket to charities helping care for animals injured and orphaned during the devastating bushfires.
