Melbourne Zoo

Journey through a world of wildlife in the heart of Melbourne. Nestled within this urban oasis, over 320 species call Melbourne Zoo home!

Stroll through the lush rainforests, where tigers roam and monkeys swing from tree to tree. Come eye-to-eye with orang-utans in their special elevated home and walk the Trail of Elephants.

Spot unique Australian wildlife including koalas and kangaroos set against stunning native flora, and head into an underwater world showcasing playful Victorian little penguins and fur seals.

Melbourne Zoo offers exclusive experiences to deepen your connection with its inhabitants. Engage with critically endangered Western Lowland Gorillas, share intimate moments with elephants, or meet the towering giraffes under the guidance of passionate keeper. Encounter the tigers, observe the orangutans' training sessions, befriend the cheeky Otter family, or embark on a reptile adventure to acquaint yourself with the remarkable residents of the Reptile House.

At Melbourne Zoo, every step is an invitation to explore, learn, and forge lasting connections with the fascinating world of wildlife that calls this place home!

Children under 16 years of age receive free entry every weekend, during Victorian Government school holidays and on Victorian public holidays.

Each visit contributes to the fight against wildlife extinction!
