Ready for a Melbourne Zoo day you’ll never forget? Kick off this intimate half-day experience with early-morning access.
See the Melbourne Zoo waking up before heading off behind-the-scenes to view and participate in several surprise animal experiences. Your expert guide will lead you through precinct tours and back-of-house areas, sharing animal adaptations, fun facts, conservation messaging and stories, which you won’t hear at any keeper talk.
Refuel with complimentary morning tea or an early lunch before enjoying daily admission to explore the zoo at your own pace.
Please Note: Your dedicated guide will give you a pre-visit call to ask a few little questions, confirm timings and help create an unforgettable experience.
Each experience will be unique, allowing the keepers to let the individual animals shine and give them the choice to control how they participate.
