ROAR AND SNORE

Tell the kids that they’re going to have a sleepover, then surprise them by whisking them off to Sydney’s Taronga Zoo, which will look like it’s closing its doors for the evening. But into the zoo you will go to find luxury glamping accommodation with views of Sydney Harbour and a buffet dinner, before you join a guide on a night safari of the zoo. There are also encounters with animals back at the safari-style camp. You won’t have to buy them birthday presents for years to come. taronga.org.au
