xp: roar and snore sydney (or any other city)

[Deleted]

Has anyone done the sydney roar and snore zoo sleep over? Or any other city for that matter?

I really want to do it, but wanted to see if its actually worth it.

Ideally, i'd want to be there and be able to hold a koala and some other animals.
Thanks!

I think I did something like this when I was a kid with a group? What does it involve? And why Sydney ... are you going there for work or vacation?

You get to spend the night in a "fancy" tent that boarders the lion exhibit and the harbor (or something like thatk, meals, a few behind the scene tours and to pet some of the animals. I really just want to hold a koala, but I can't find a place that explicitly says you can do that. I've seen other people's pictures, so I know its possible.

If anyone knows of a place to hold koalas in sydney, can you let me know? Thanks!

We're going to new zealand and sydney for vacation.

This. Times a million. I'd LOVE to take M to something like that when she's older!

SF- I'd gladly take any Sydney info off of your hands

The original plan was that we were only going to NZ, but then we realized it was cheaper to go to Sydney on the way home. We only have a few days there, so we want to stay in Sydney and maximize the short amount of time that we have there.

Thanks!

Thank you! No rush though. I'm not leaving for a while. I really appreciate the info!

I was going to come in and say I held a koala in Australia and try to remember the place but then I remembered it was almost 13 years ago ad they are probably stricter now.

I was afraid of this.

I just want to hold a freaking koala. Is that too much to ask for?

i want to pet a panda. i think your chances of holding a koala are better.
