Melbourne Zoo is a zoo in Melbourne, Australia. It is located within Royal Park in Parkville, approximately 4 kilometres north of the centre of Melbourne. It is the primary zoo serving Melbourne.
This Melbourne Zoo is open daily seven days a week from 9am to 5pm every day, including all Easter. Don't remember much the ticket price but not too pricey.
This wonderful and well-laid-out zoo offers a chance to see unique Australian wildlife that you rarely get the opportunity to spot in normal life. There’s a duckbilled platypus, wombats, Tasmanian devils and koalas, as well as the more easily spotted kangaroos and emus. It was great to get up close to animals like the platypus and wombats.
Terrific zoo! Don't miss out on the butterfly house or the lemur exhibit, those were my favorites. Getting to the zoo from Melbourne's CBD is quite easy- Tram 55 takes you right there.
I went their the other day with school and some of the tourists there were very rude, this little boy needed help with a game and I asked if he needed help and he said yes then I helped him and then his mother comes up to me and yells at me for 'snatching a toy off a child' and 'snatching it so I could play the game' I just think this is inconsiderate
