Melbourne Zoo


You won’t believe how many animals are at Melbourne Zoo! Over 320 species from around the world can be found in our beautiful natural setting just five minutes from the city center.

Stroll through the lush Asian and African rainforests, where tigers roam and monkeys swing from tree to tree. Then take the time to stop and see eye to eye with Orangutans in their special elevated exhibit and walk the Trail of the Elephants. Spy unique native wildlife in the Australian bush setting. Head into the underwater world at the Wild Seas exhibit showcasing penguins, seals and more!

I'm from WA, went to Melbourne Zoo on Sunday, great place but the food is out of control, 1 hour wait for food that I could not eat, it was that bad. I felt sorry for the staff as most people were very upset with delay and quality.
