Favourite Exhibit

Butterfly House

While everything is amazing, our favourite is Melbourne Zoo's Iconic Butterfly House where you can feel the magical flutter of tiny wings passing by.

Melbourne Zoo's Butterfly House features more than 600 butterflies from about 13 different tropical species, and is warmed to a steady temperature of around 27°C degrees year-round, providing tropical butterflies with the humidity they need to be able to flourish.

Since its opening in 1985, the Butterfly House at Melbourne Zoo has played an essential role in its ability to connect visitors and the broader community with invertebrates and tropical butterflies.

Elephants

After many years of calling Melbourne Zoo their home, our friendly neighbourhood elephants have moved to a new 21-hectare elephant habitat at Werribee Open Range Zoo.

* Wild Sea

Go deep underwater at Wild Sea. This incredible space showcases the amazing animals and natural beauty of Victoria's coast and ocean. Wander the beach with its sand dunes and pier, watch penguins play and seals frolic, and learn about our work to conserve these incredible sea animals in an immersive, family-friendly experience.
