Fluffy or Fierce?
This year, you will be able to choose to have your festive 30-minute dumpling sessions at either our Koala Rooftop (18, 19 and 20 Feb) with the adorable marsupials or at the Upper Croc Deck (11, 12 and 13 Feb) with a view of our resident 365kg crocodile Rocky. Both areas will be transformed into Chinese Dumpling Kingdoms complete with gold lanterns, orchid flowers, banners, inviting you to celebrate with koala-ty dumplings, which you will snap up in no time!
Diners will have access to a specially crafted menu of fan favourite dumplings from prawn to pork wonton, chicken, celery and more. They will also have access to bottomless drinks of sparkling, red and white wine, beer, soft drinks and juice.
Dumplings and drinks to their hearts content!
Exclusive after-hours access
As an added treat, guests will receive exclusive after-hours access to the zoo where they can meet and take selfies with iconic Australian animals. Don’t worry, the tour won’t cut into dumpling time because it can take place before the all-you-can-eat session.
Three 30-minute sessions will run from 5.30pm on 11, 12 and 13 February and from 6.00pm on 18, 19 and 20 February 2021. Entry is $80 per person and include the after-hours tour of WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo, all-you-can-eat dumplings and bottomless drinks.
Spots are limited, so book early and don’t miss out on this rare Lunar New Year opportunity.
