Journey through a world of wildlife in the heart of Melbourne. You won’t believe how many animals are at Melbourne Zoo! Over 320 species from around the world can be found in a natural setting just five minutes from the city centre.

Stroll through the lush rainforests, where tigers roam and monkeys swing from tree to tree. Come eye to eye with orang-utans in their special elevated home and walk the Trail of the Elephants. Spot unique native wildlife in an Australian bush setting and head into an underwater world to encounter playful penguins and seals!
