Down Syndrome NSW has been allocated:

50 family passes (for up to 4 people of any age)
10 single adult tickets

What is Dreamnight?

Dreamnight is an exclusive evening at Taronga Zoo, with special entertainment, interactive experiences and animal presentations available only to invited guests.

On the night, families can enjoy:

The 501st Southern Garrison (Star Wars, Super Hero and Disney Princess cosplayers)

Parking and Access:

Parking in Taronga's multi-storey car park and grassed overflow carpark is free for Dreamnight for cars entering after 5pm. Entry will be through Taronga's Main Entrance on Bradley's Head Road. Our lower entrance near the wharf will be closed for the entirety of this event.

Taronga's Multi-storey carpark will be available for parking purposes. There is a clearance height of approximately 2.2m. For mini-buses and large mobility vehicles, we will be making additional spaces in the staff carpark out the back, although this is on a first come first basis.

A Taronga staff member will be directing families with wheelchairs for priority parking.

There is also a public bus from Wynyard to Taronga Zoo which will be running of an evening.

Sydney Ferries run minimal services of an evening, so whilst arrival by ferry may be possible it should be noted that this won't be an option for leaving the event. See https://transportnsw.info for more details.

We look forward to seeing many of our members enjoy this special evening and all that Dreamnight has to offer!
