My sister and I attended Roar and Snore with Cathy and Ariel Thursday night , it honestly was the most magical experience ever . They were so engaging and extremely knowledgeable with all the beautiful animals. We had a night walk and we saw the lions up and about. Then the next morning we went into the elephant enclosure and placed treats in there from them to find. We met the keepers and they were a wealth of knowledge it was just so special. Thank you so much Cathy and Ariel you ladies are honestly the best ,

Great experience at the zoo. The zoo is immaculately clean. The layout just makes sense. Heaps of parking even on new years day. Never felt too crowded. Highlight was spotting the red pandas (remember to look up into the trees!)

Having visited zoo in Europe, I am not particularly impressed. For the price of ticket paid, we finished the zoo tour in 3 hours. But I liked snow leopard and seal attraction. Very very few birds and aquatic life, very few rain forest animals, etc. I would not visit again unless there is a big upgrade!

Visited Melbourne Zoo with my family today and had an incredible experience! The fact that entrance fees for kids are waived on weekends is a fantastic perk. The diverse range of animals and well-maintained exhibits made it both educational and enjoyable for everyone. The staff's passion for conservation shines through, and the interactive activities added an extra layer of fun. A perfect family outing surrounded by the beauty of wildlife. Highly recommend!
