Melbourne Zoo
All members and visitors must pre-book a ticket online. You will not be able to book tickets at the gate.
Over 300 species of animals can be found in the beautifully landscaped settings of Melbourne Zoo, just minutes from the central city.
Stroll through an Asian village and garden setting to see the majestic Asian elephants. See unique Australian wildlife, encounter sleek Sumatran tigers, watch orangutans swinging through the trees, or submerge in an underwater world to see Victoria’s native penguin species and Australian fur seals.
There are also interactive exhibits where visitors have the chance to learn all about the zoo's animals, the fight to save wildlife from extinction, and what visitors can do to help.
Children under 16 years of age receive free entry every weekend, during Victorian Government school holidays and on Victorian public holidays.
