Had a wonderful visit to the zoo to see the new baby giraffe. We are members and love visiting the zoo as a family. The staff are always friendly and knowledgeable. Loved the butterfly house but was disappointed at the Asian tourists trying to touch the butterflies. There really needs to be an attendant in the butterfly house the whole time because even after pointing to signs not to touch these people were touching. Made my heart sad for the little butterflies.

visited the Melbourne Zoo on a Friday and was genuinely impressed. It’s hands down one of the best zoos I’ve ever been to. The variety of animals is excellent, and what really stood out to me was the thoughtful, intelligent design of the enclosures. They allow you to get remarkably close to the animals — much closer than in many other zoos — without ever compromising the animals’ comfort or safety. While the ticket price is on the higher side, I found it absolutely worth it once I was inside. You can really tell that a lot of care and effort goes into making this place special — both for visitors and for the animals. Highly recommended!

First time at Melbourne Zoo. Must say, its very well maintained. Few things like a "Melbourne Zoo" symbol, picnic area for kids inside the Zoo and other little things has made it popular among kids and loved it. There are different areas like for reptiles, lion and for leimurs. Very impressive how leimurs have huge area to move around and they have been provided with food. Plenty of parking outside the Zoo, $2 for 5 hours, cheap and convenient for parents. Buy a Zoo membership instead of buying tickets and you can visit all other zoos and comes with multiple entries for one year.

Great family outing. We went on a weekday (not school holidays) and there was plenty of space and things to do. Staff were friendly. There are cafe/good options on site, toilets and lots of space for a pram to manoeuvre. We liked the different sections and how there were so many animals to see. Parking is for 5 hours on site (atleast the rail gate parking) and was about $2.60 for that time.

We are from New Zealand and have been to many zoos around the world I’d have to say this has been the BEST zoo I’ve ever visited so nicely laid out, great interactive experiences with animals very reasonably prized toys at the shop. Highly recommend for kids and adults to enjoy of all ages. Thank you for such a memorable experience ♡
