We had an amazing day out here that the whole family enjoyed from young to old. The open plan enclosures really give you a happy feeling for the animals and I was overjoyed to finally see a platypus in real life as they were my favourite animal as a child, although i'd only ever seen them in pictures.

Our whole family loved this safari-style zoo, it's so nice to see the animals in plenty of space getting on with their normal behaviour rather than all cramped and agitated. We did the bus tour and also a canoe tour. Loved seeing all the australian animals as there's not that many in european zoos. Great day out.

The Melbourne Zoo is one of my children’s favorite attractions in all of Australia. Because of Australia’s unique ecosystems, they have some of the most unusual animals in the world, and they are all there in simulated natural habitats for people to enjoy who do not have the time or inclination to go into the outback. But seeing all the kangaroos, and koalas, is great.
