Comments on: Tourists Guide/Review of Sydney Wildlife World (Darling Harbour) http://www.roadlesstravelled.com.au/tourists-guide-review-of-sydney-wildlife-world-darling-harbour/ Travel Tales and Photos from around the world off the beaten track Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:50:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Mum http://www.roadlesstravelled.com.au/tourists-guide-review-of-sydney-wildlife-world-darling-harbour/#comment-17389 Mum Fri, 27 Jan 2012 01:50:38 +0000 http://www.roadlesstravelled.com.au/tourists-guide-review-of-sydney-wildlife-world-darling-harbour/#comment-17389 Went there two days ago and felt we were ripped off. I too, felt sorry for the animals. The butterfly area, we could only see I think 3 butterflies? They gave my son a book to complete on the way around and we weren't able to find answers to quite a few! Some were opinion/common sense but some asked specific questions and my son became upset that he wasn't doing it right- when in fact the answers weren't all there and the stamps they claimed to give weren't either. We walked through an outside part in the rain which had anothing in it to view the crocodile from above- which was pointless as he was below the water. Got wet for nothing. It was hot and humid,too.

If you want to see Australian Animals you are better of going to Feathedale which for roughly the same price you can more species and larger numbers. I found it a bit disturbing viewing large animals through glass( which i suppose is silly, I mean glass, wire, cages it is all the same). I also found the lack of light very annoying when trying to photograph the animals and noticed that the glass was just about always dirty and scratched at child height making it very difficult to get a good shot. On the day that I went the flight canyon was closed for renovations which was annoying as it is one of the major areas at the center. I notice that they didnt have this closure advertised on their website, just a hand written notice near the entryway. I also notice that they werent offering a discount of the entry fee seeing that part of the place was closed. As for the positives it is out of the sun so in summer it is nice and cool, and the place is clean and tidy and you can get fairly close to all the animals. I agree with your review.

It's really interesting and educational to visit this place to see some of the famous animals of Australia such as kangaroos, koalas and wombat. It's really important to bring an advanced digital camera for you to take some quality photos for some animals that can't be seen closely. Nice review for Sydney Wildlife World.

It's often better to avoid, if possible, to tightly packed schedules of group tours. I prefer to do my own research and to see less but on my own pace and following my personal interests. Takes bit more time and effort(often money too) but it's definitely worth in the end. You hit the spot with observation about tourist “attractions” being designed with tour group operators in mind.
