What people are saying:
More than 20,000 species of plants, flowers and plants are planted in the zoo. The animals in the zoo account for 15 percent of Australian animals and include kangaroo hooves and other animals in the shrubs that remain the same. The highlight is the world's first artificially fertilized gorilla.

Melbourne Zoo is also a quite natural place, there are many species and quantities of animals here, like to experience some animals here plant style, many animals and plants are quite special varieties, the zoo space is quite large.
Loved the zoo so must go every tour. The zoo is clean and big with lots of different animals. In addition to the animals that are Australian in their own character there are other such as lions, tigers etc. It is a great place to spend half a day
Staff are very friendly. Nice day out with family.
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
Fantastic place, fabulous selection of animals where you could get up close. Loved having photos with the wallabies running freely.
