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.

The zoo is very large. They seem to take good care of the animals. We saw many Australian animals but also giraffe, elephant, leopards and more. I will only not recommend the giraffe encounter. The lady who leads that is not very knowledgeable and the experience itself if nothing impressive. The only good thing is the money go for their conservation projects.

Melbourne Zoo is a fantastic destination for animal lovers and families alike. The zoo features a wide variety of species in well-designed habitats that mimic their natural environments. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, enhancing the overall experience. Highlights include the lion and gorilla exhibits, as well as the immersive Australian wildlife section. It's a great place to learn about conservation while enjoying a day out. Highly recommended!

This is my first visit to Melbourne Zoo, and it's surprisingly an awesome place for kids and families. The enclosures are beautifully and naturally arranged for all types of animals. I've seen some people complaining in reviews about not being able to see the animals in their enclosures during their visit. Come on, guys, they are animals. They have their own schedules and aren't like fashion models who show their faces whenever people are around. Anyway, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit, especially my kid. We will definitely come back for sure. Please enjoy some of my pics. Thanks!

Melbourne Zoo was a great day out for my family. The place had a great atmosphere and the enclosureslooked beautiful while also giving the animals room to roam. There was a huge amount of animals and the water animals facility was an amazing experience.
