As a regular visitor to the Zoo it was terrific to undertake the Wild Tales Walking Experience with Maurice as our guide for a different experience. We had a beautiful morning walk through the zoo and the animals were up and about. We particularly enjoyed seeing the pigmy hippo and the otters. Our tour included a breakfast and coffee which was a nice way to finish and we enjoyed it in front of the giraffe and zebra enclosure where the animals were active. It's good to get a different perspective and Maurice was very knowledgeable. We loved this tour and learnt new things. This would be suitable for families.

Melbourne Zoo has a wide variety of animals, from Australia and overseas. Visitors will love the native Australian animals. Some things that will interest everyone are Lion Gorge, and the Gorilla Rainforest. The elephant herd is expanding, the baby elephants are really cute. It's easy to spend a day at the Melbourne Zoo, kids love the Zoo. By the way, the Melbourne Zoo is close to the Melbourne CDB, it's easily accessible by tram, train or car.

Went to Melbourne Zoo primarily to do the Orangutan experience. Jake and Mia were superb guides who cared deeply and passionate about conservation. The experience was so special to see these beautiful animals up close. The Zoo itself was clean and tidy and the animals were well cared for. Easy access from the city via Tram 58

We have been to a lot of zoos and highly rate Melbourne zoo. We easily filled in the entire day. There were plenty of places to sit, get some food and take your time exploring the grounds and discovering the animals. Butterfly houses are always amazing and the zoo has a well balanced variety of animals so most of your group will be happy and see something they want. We enjoyed toi many of the exhibits to list them all here. The zoo was top class. We spent most of the day and skipped a few exhibits as we were tired. Allow to spend the whole day here as you easily will.

A group of 7 of us are in Melbourne visiting from NZ. We initially thought the zoo pricing was a bit expensive at $46 AUD for an adult ticket. However, we ended up spending 5.5hours there and enjoyed our time immensely. The layout of the zoo was fantastic, as was the cleanliness of the facilities and paths around each of the enclosures. The staff we saw were all friendly and the cafe where we had lunch had a good range of options. There were also lots of spaces to stop for water or eat if you wanted to bring a packed lunch. The animals were all well looked after and had large enclosures that looked really nice. Our favourites were the tigers, meerkats and elephants. All in all, would be an espeacially good place for young families and kids as there are lots of interactive areas and cool animals. Highly reccommend!

Pretty good, designated and well organized layout inside. Visitors can easily find the way to see all kinds of animals. Since it is semi-open space, you can feel the natural and primitive atmosphere by searching those animals. Too be honest, it is not easy to see lots of animals in close distance. Kids are so happy to take a look at those creatures. A good opportunity to teach and interact with kids in zoo. You can spend half day inside to explore what you want. However, sometimes some animals may hide, sleep or go anywhere so that they are not available when you visit. For me and kids, it is a wonderful experience to visit this historical zoo. Easy to take Trams or Metro trains here. Enjoy.
