We went to the seal show - they were blocking out every 2nd row. It was not that clear to us and there was no physical distancing in the queue... We were a bit disappointed by the Zoo as a whole. We didn't think it was worth it.
Most unlikely. Most zoos won’t allow hugging/holding. This zoo does have a ‘close encounter’ experience and more information can be found at the Taronga Zoo website under animal …
