Let's fall in love

Love is in the air… in the oceans, and in the bush this February! To mark the arrival of World Pride in Sydney this summer, WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo & SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium are celebrating diversity and relationships in the animal kingdom at our brand new event - Dating & Mating!

Launching this Valentine’s Day, hop on up our rainbow VIP carpet and begin your journey into our colourful world. Explore fascinating stories of our creatures and the different roles they play in finding a mate, breeding, and bringing up their young – you’ll get an incredible insight into the world of dating and mating across our many animal species, both on land and underwater.
