Visited the zoo during winter. The cooler weather made walking around more comfortable, with fewer crowds and a calmer atmosphere. Some animals were less active or stayed indoors due to the temperature, but most enclosures still had good visibility and information displays. Tried the Lemur Experience—brief but informative. You get up close to the lemurs in their enclosure while the keeper explains their behaviour, diet, and conservation. No direct contact or feeding, but it was still a unique way to observe them in a more personal setting. A calm and pleasant visit overall, especially suited for a slower-paced winter activity.

Had so much fun specially our little boy. A lot of animals and so thrilled to see healthy lions, tiger and snow leopard and even giraffe. Dif will come again❤️ Purchased our ticket online, and don’t worry about purchasing other features you’ll see all the animals😍❤️

Had an awesome day out at Melbourne zoo. Great place for the family! Managed to get round in 5 hours but even then we thought we moved fast. Would definitely recommend a two day visit if you want to read everything and enjoy it. Looking at getting the pass and also doing the camping under the stars! Will be back!

Love the layout of the zoo! So easy to get around. Enough places to eat, sit down, plenty of bathrooms around as well. Very children friendly! There was a Carousel and face painting which are great for the little ones.

Our second visit was last week. This is by far our favourite zoo. The enclosures are catering for the animals, which is just how it should be. Makes me sad people are leaving bad reviews just because they couldn’t see certain animals. Yes it’s disappointing, but it’s not about us. Having enclosures where the animals can retreat from us is giving them respect. To suggest animals were drugged is ridiculous. We loved the butterfly house, Lemur Island, the various primate enclosures and seeing Miska up close. The staff members we spoke with are all dedicated to their work and show a clear love for what they do. We will be back next time we’re in Melbourne ❤️
