Sat 31 Dec 2011
So, you want a great vantage point for the fireworks this New Year's Eve but you're tired of the battle for good places, the wait that lasts for hours and the revellers who've drunk far too much by the time the fireworks begin. Surround yourself with animals of a different kind this New Year's Eve and let the four legged, feathered and furred variety keep you company at the family-friendly
New Year's Eve 2011 @ Taronga Zoo .
This unique event is organised by the
Taronga Foundation , whose main aim is to raise funds for the critical work of the zoo - conservation, education and research. So you'll be enjoying the fireworks, the animals and the scenery, and contributing to the valuable work of the zoo at the same time.
Zoo gates will open at 6 pm and regardless of which ticket package you choose, you will have the opportunity to view some of the animal exhibits until dark. BYO blankets, food and non-alcoholic beverages for a perfect picnic dinner framed by a harbour sunset then settle in for the fireworks spectacular. Please note that licensing laws prohibit BYO alcohol but alcoholic beverages will be on sale.
Diamond Reserve Tickets are already sold out, but there is capacity for another 2000 people spread between the Bird Show Amphitheatre, Condor Lawns, and the Concert Lawns.
