great value for money and the trip there on the tram only adds to the ambience. We spent pretty much the whole day there and rushed at the end as the zoo was closing. Flat with good access if you needed it, but for us the best bit is the ambience of the place. The Asian section was very much... More

I have become a member of the Melbourne zoo and therefore go a lot with my now 2 yo daughter. we love it! As far as world class zoo's go I cant really comment as I haven't been to many around the world, but its a good zoo with some interesting exhibits, most of which have been upgraded in the... More

The lone tiger was running back & forth along a back fence line...it looked like he was fretting. It was difficult to see some of the animals as they were are the backs of the enclosures. All of...

First time to Melbourne and I really wanted to come here after watching the television series. The zoo is very big so to experience all the animals you need to be prepared to spend all day. We must have picked a bad day to go as the place was full of different groups of young school kids screaming around. Kids... More
