Situated close to both the big cat’s habitat and the beloved Carnivores’ Trail, the Leopard Lodge is the largest and most versatile of the four function rooms. You and your guests can share a toast to the sound of lions roaring against a backdrop of some of the Zoo’s finest gardens and lawns. Comfortably hosting 350 guests standing or 200-240 seated, the Leopard Lodge is conveniently located close to the trams and trains of the Railgate entrance. Here, greenery on all sides creates the sense of celebrating in the heart of a jungle, and a paved outdoor terrace allows your guests to spill into the landscape. A purpose built bridal suite makes this a particularly fitting function space for wedding receptions. With its screen, stage and AV capabilities, it's the perfect conference venue.

One of Melbourne's most iconic zoos, just 10 minutes from City, a must-visit! The zoo has a clear layout, a quick walk around the paths will take you to the main animals without getting lost. It's clean, with minimal odors, a significant improvement in hygiene compared to many zoos. The koalas were mostly sleeping, but they're undeniably adorable. The kangaroos were also sleeping. Highlights include the Tasmanian devils, emus, and snow leopards.

It is a really good zoo. Lots of happy animals. Often there are little presentations just going on that you can just join in on; today there was a butterfly room presentation, my kid loved it. There are a few cafes scattered around the place and limited food options pies etc. I advise getting an annual pass to get access to all 4 zoos which are also good days out.

Revisiting Melbourne Zoo after just one year was still a great experience. The zoo remains clean, well organised, and enjoyable to walk around. The animals are well cared for, and the environment feels relaxing and educational. Overall, it’s still a very nice place to visit and worth coming back again.

I don't generally like zoos cause isn't fair to keep animals in captivity when they should live in freedom but I also understand that under an educative point of view is the only way that new generations can learn and understand the wildlife. Great zoo, well maintained and pleasant to visit, get ready to walk a lot and get plenty of water Areas well equipped with plenty of coffee facilities to enjoy a break. I liked the nature in the zoo as the zoo was built and respectfully adapted in it and not the opposite

My partner and I really enjoyed ourselves at Melbourne Zoo! The different exhibit trails made us feel like we were in their habitat. It was nice to see all the initiatives the zoo is actively apart of to make the world a better place for these amazing animals!
