Taronga Zoo Walk

Step into one of Sydney’s most iconic natural treasures with the Taronga Zoo Walk — a heartwarming, community-focused day out designed for all ages and every kind of queer family. Set against the lush hills and coastal views of Mosman, this special event is part of Mardi Gras+ and promises a gentle, joyful journey through Taronga Zoo’s vibrant trails, animal enclosures, and bird show arenas.

Start your morning with a scenic ferry ride across the Harbour, then stroll through the zoo’s shaded paths, pausing to marvel at elephants, koalas, and tigers — all while soaking in the company of friends, chosen family, and fellow LGBTQIA+ community members. The day includes exclusive access to the zoo’s popular bird show, a gentle reminder of nature’s wonder — complete with soaring birds and playful antics designed to delight both kids and adults.

Whether you’re bringing young ones, meeting up with friends, or simply enjoying a quiet day outdoors, this is a relaxed and inclusive space. Wheelchair access is available throughout the venue, ensuring everyone can join in the fun. No tickets are needed — just register via the link and arrive ready for a day of gentle exploration, laughter, and connection.

Hosted with care by The Sydney Sisters, this event is free to attend and celebrates community, culture, and connection — the heart of what Mardi Gras+ is all about. Bring your camera, your curiosity, and your kindness — you’ll leave with full hearts, not full pockets.

Perfect for: families, first-time visitors, nature lovers, quiet adventurers, and anyone seeking a gentle, sunny day out that feels like coming home.
