Overview
The ultimate date night is inbound, and it's only running for ten nights this October. Taronga After Dark is a brand new late-night experience perfect for couples or mates who want to see what Taronga Zoo is like after sundown.
From Friday, October 3 to Sunday, October 12, you'll be able to wander through lantern-lit trails, enjoy cocktails under the stars and have incredible encounters with wildlife that come alive at night. You can also see the nocturnal routines of the reptiles and amphibians, or check out sunset seals at dusk for a wild presentation from the zoo's aquatic residents.
For families, there's a magical mermaid show and a fluro fun zone, and for thrill-seekers, add on an illuminated Wild Ropes Adventure climb. For the adults, the Archie Rose sunset bar is the perfect pit stop while exploring. You can also refuel at one of the nearby food trucks, serving a range of sweet and savoury options, and enjoy some live acoustic tunes as you watch the sun set over Sydney Harbour.
If you're looking to take your date night up a notch, why not make it a wildlife getaway? Opt to stay at Taronga Zoo's Wildlife Retreat, the onsite eco-conscious hotel with luxurious rooms, high-end amenities, modern Australian dining, and breathtaking Sydney Harbour views throughout the site.
The Wildlife Retreat surrounds what is known as the Sanctuary, a beautiful native wildlife enclosure created exclusively for guests of the Wildlife Retreat at Taronga. This thoughtfully designed habitat envelopes guest bedrooms for a truly immersive wildlife experience — you may even wake up with a koala outside your window.
Whether you're planning a unique catch-up with friends or a magical date night under the stars, Taronga After Dark is a one-of-a-kind way to explore the zoo in a whole new light.
