Sydney in September means it’s the start of spring, with temperatures ranging from a cool 12°c to about 22°c. Sydney’s flowers and trees are beginning to bloom and it’s a great time to explore outdoor attractions like Taronga Zoo. With a spellbinding position along the beautiful shores of Sydney Harbour, Taronga Zoo is an absolute must-visit if you’re spending September in Sydney.

Springtime at Taronga Zoo 

September is a fantastic month to visit Taronga Zoo, as the weather causes the zoo’s fauna and flora to thrive. Taronga Zoo’s gardens are beginning to burst with vibrant colours and many animals are more active during this time, making it easier to see your favourites.

Whether you want to see majestic lions, cheeky meerkats, native animals such as koalas and kangaroos, or the many fascinating reptiles, amphibians, birds, marine animals and insects, you’ll find them all. There’s multiple Taronga Zoo tour options that offer different perks, so you’ll get to enjoy your day without needing to stress.

Your exciting zoo adventure can begin with a ferry ride from Circular Quay, giving you stunning views of the Opera House and the Sydney Harbour before arriving at the zoo. Once you’re there you can get a truly unique perspective of the zoo on the Sky Safari cable car, which glides above the animal enclosures and provides overhead views of the city.

One of the most exciting aspects about visiting Taronga Zoo in spring is you’ll get the chance to see cute newborn animals. As most people know, spring is the season when many animals are born and many of the zoo’s species welcome their young too. From adorable baby koalas to playful baby kangaroos, there are many cute creatures for you to see.

Taronga Zoo is not just a daytime destination either – they also offer unique experiences like the Roar and Snore overnight stay. You can walk through the zoo after dark and wake up to the sounds of the animals as the sun rises over Sydney Harbour.

Extra September Experiences

September in Sydney is a joy, with the Sydney Fringe Festival giving you unlimited opportunities to be entertained with hundreds of stand-up comedy, music, arts, theatre, burlesque and cabaret acts across the city. There’s also the amazing Queer Hub at Qtopia, with its amazing LGBTQIA+ stories and performances, plus the delightful Festival of the Winds kite event. Our Things to Do in Sydney page has even more.
